Market Update: The FARE Act
Now that summer's here, things have cooled off a bit. In June, 972 contracts were signed, down 6.1% from May. But that's still 3% more than in June 2024, so demand is steady, just more selective. July saw a cool off as New Yorkers are taking time to travel and reset.
This last week: July 21-27 in Manhattan, 116 contracts were signed at $1M+, 75 condos, 37 co ops and 4 townhouses.
$1M-3M had 84 sales with an average days on market of 84.
$3M-5M had 14 sales with average days on market of 159.
$5M-10M saw 15 sales with 401 average days on market!
The 10M plus sector had 3 sales with 97 average days on market.

Paros Holiday: a Grecian Guide
Greece was absolutely incredible! I went there with my family and some college friends for a wedding, and it just so happened that Paros was named the best island to visit in Europe for 2025 at the same time! It offered the perfect blend of relaxation, exploration, sand, and sun. If you're considering a trip to Greece, make sure Paros is on your list! Here are some tips from my trip:
