October 2023 / Q3 2023 NYC Real Estate Review
I hope you find this October?2023 / Q3?2023?NYC Real Estate Review?useful and encourage you to share it with anyone who may find it interesting.
I could take up a lot of space here recapping Q3 2023, but it really comes down to interest rates. Interest rates are at levels not seen in 15 years, and to some generations, never before. They have made affordability calculations more challenging for buyers and they have made sellers rethink upgrading residences, as they will be trading mortgages in their lower rate mortgage for significantly higher rate mortgages. This has created an inventory shortage, as well.
As in any time of market turmoil, there are certainly opportunities for those willing to look and be creative!?
