Housing Inventory Around The Country... The Good News...'54 of the nation’s 200 largest housing markets are now above pre-pandemic inventory—it was just 17 markets last year' (ResiClub) The Bad News...The New York Metro Makes The List Of Metros Still Furthest Below Pre-Pandemic Levels! Not unsurprisingly, according to the article by Lance Lambert, 'housing markets where inventory remains far below pre-pandemic levels have, generally speaking,?experienced stronger home price growth?over the past 24 months.' So if mortgage rates remain high, demand remains high even at these inflated home prices in New York, what may get potential sellers to list? Likely, the fear that prices may have peaked and that the opportunity to top-tick the housing market may be slipping away. But of course, that could quickly flip a seller's market to a buyer's market accelerating a price drop! You can't fight the old economic staple of supply and demand Stay tuned! ___________________________________________ When buying real estate in New York, the title insurance company you use matters!

Office Special Servicing Reaches A 13-Year High! Special servicing is?a process where a third party is brought in to manage and resolve commercial mortgage-backed security (CMBS) loans that are in default or at risk of default. This chart courtesy of Trepp, Inc. shows how while some CRE property sectors are improving, the office sector is moving in the wrong direction due to the obvious which are high refinancing rates coupled with declining property values. From CRE Daily 'hybrid work's 14-22% demand drop still weighs heavily. Expiring leases are cutting revenue potential by up to 22%, leaving sponsors to face prolonged refinancing challenges through 2027.' It will be an interesting 2025! ___________________________________________ When buying real estate in New York, the title insurance company you use matters!
