Get to Know Irene Starygina
The New York City residential real estate sector is unlike any other in the nation, unaffected by the housing slump and still commanding the top sales and rental prices. While brokerages are going bankrupt in nearby New Jersey and Connecticut, savvy Manhattan agents are maintaining their lavish lifestyle by closing just a few luxury deals a year. New condo construction is booming throughout downtown Manhattan, and neighborhoods such as the Financial District that were considered boring and "dead" just a few years ago are now more popular than ever. While 75% of the average tenant's paycheck still gets mailed to the landlord every month, the appeal of living in the Big Apple keeps rents high. But contrary to popular belief, you can still find deals on properties by keeping track of the seasonal changes and current state of this city's residential sector. After booming this summer, apartment prices and rents are noticeably dipping across the city. In my blog, I will discuss current as well as projected market conditions and forces that affect them. But this is not your average, boring real estate blog. Stay tuned for posts and reviews that will shock even the most seasoned agents and renters! Reader contribution is much appreciated, as always.
