The Spring Market is launching! This article analyzes where the Townhouse and Condominium market sectors currently stand, and where we think they are headed this year:
- In 2022, the rebounding Upper Manhattan real estate market was again cut short by a mid-March turn of events! Sound familiar? Well, it wasn’t another 2020, but there are similarities.
- If you are buying or selling in 2023/24, your Real Estate Advisor should be directing you to take note of historical trends of 2009/10 and 2020/2. Remember, history repeats itself!
Townhouses – a Great Time to Buy, and Early Signs of Recovery
- In late March 2022, the record Federal interest rate hike plan was launched, and economic uncertainty sent the real estate market scrambling.
- Upper Manhattan saw a record number of properties enter the market in 2022 but this was balanced by a record number being removed from the same market. Plus, 50% of listings in 2022 showed discounts while on the market.
- The Urban markets are responding city by city as the Upper Manhattan Townhouse and Condominium Markets continue to prove their underlying strength.
Condominium Market – Record Sales, Driven by New Development
- While Upper Manhattan Townhouses have held their value through the major economic market shifts over the past 5 years, the Condominium Market in Upper Manhattan has benefited from increased volume, and sale prices.
- There was a record number of sales in 2022, driven by new development, low entry price points, and high rents.
- If you didn’t buy your condo yet, no worries, there are 33 more new developments currently approved/underway!
Market Outlook
- My Upper Manhattan Outlook is simple this year. Buy! Then consider refinancing in 2-3 years.
- The Condo Market will remain a solid investment through 2023 but buyers should take it slow and make sure their advisor knows, not just what’s on the market, but what’s coming to market.
- Townhouse Buyers will benefit from increased inventory resulting in more quality townhouses to choose from than we have seen for the past 7-8 years.
- Owner Occupant Buyers will follow Investors to take advantage of the quality on the market in Spring 2023.
