MANHATTAN | AUGUST 2024
|
|
|
|
This month is a wonderful opportunity to take advantage of the typical summer slowdown by taking in all the city currently offers while everyone else hides indoors to escape the cycle of rainstorms and heat waves. Many locals have escaped to greener pastures (literally), but there is still plenty happening - and less people here to take advantage! This slowdown applies to the real estate market, as well. I always say the best time for a buyer to strike is when no one else is looking, whether that is because of financial markets or because other buyers are just physically out of town. Take this chance to explore our beloved city (and its real estate) at a more leisurely pace. Neighborhood changes continue, so read about the latest!

Kabin
300 Spring Street
Kabin, a new cocktail bar with a Norweigan cabin theme, has opened at 300 Spring Street. According to the website, their " “cabin” isn’t your run-of-the-mill log home. Inspired by the simplicity, natural materials and zen-like beauty of Nordic design, KABIN feels like a breath of fresh air in downtown Manhattan. From afterwork drinks and cozy nightcaps, to seasonal celebrations—like Midsommar or Santa Lucia—KABIN is a place you’ll run into close friends, and where even newcomers will be welcomed and cared for.”

Manhattan Real Estate Market Report - Q2 2024
Manhattan market conditions remain less than ideal, but Second Quarter 2024 ended on a stable note. Supply and demand both increased slightly versus 2023 as lower prices enticed buyers back into the market. While it is too early to tell if a recovery is in swing, we hope this quarter's results indicate that Manhattan's real estate market has at least turned a corner.
