Deep dives

The Luxury Sector Thrives with Cash Deals

The luxury real estate market in New York City, particularly for properties over $4 million, is currently experiencing significant opportunities and negotiability. Cash deals are prevailing in this sector, as mortgage deals have slowed down due to the less attractive interest rates. Sellers are motivated to unload their assets and take advantage of the uncertain market conditions. Notably, there have been recent sales of properties over $50 million, indicating strong activity in the ultra-luxury segment. However, the entry-level market is facing challenges, with buyers needing help from parents to finance down payments and adjusting to higher mortgage rates.
