Hello 2020! Thank you for offering an amazing market to be an homeowner again in NYC.  With prices this low, due to a glut of inventory;  a bloomberg report stating all incoming new development will take up to 6 years to absorb,) and mortgage rates at record lows, what you will see in the upcoming months is more buyers coming off the sidelines.  

With this new decade ahead of us comes a lot of excitement for architects such as Thomas Heatherwick, making his mark on NYC with the Hudson Yards Vessel, Pierre 55 Park and the soon to be launched Lantern House in West Chelsea – very competitive in pricing with generous layouts and new modern bay windows.  

We have pounded the pavement to give you the intel on the wise investments the market is offering from new developments like 515 West 29th, The XI, 200 Amsterdam (a showstopper on the Upper Westside)  25 Park Row to the Hoyt in Brooklyn. 

Foodie fans of the NY life are raving about Gramercy’s hot new restaurant Veronika by Stephen Starr designed beautifully by Roman and Williams.  We loved it so much we are going back for Valentines Dinner due to the amazing service, delicious European menu and moody atmosphere.  

Most of our exclusives have contracts signed and 56 Leonard’s seller is taking offers.  Don’t be shy.  We love to make deals happen!

Enjoy the wellness getaways section as it’s most important to stay healthy and have fun doing so, as our dear friend Tracy Anderson would say.

Last but not least we are excited to introduce Lawerence Zekrevsky as the addition to our stellar team. We are incredibly grateful for having many years of success as The Saez+Fromm Team.
