All offers are not created equally. It cannot be stated enough just how important it is to choose the right offer, not just the one with the highest price. The right offer is one that actually closes and allows you to move on from the transaction. The wrong offer has an unexpected problem at the 11 th hour that forces the deal to fall out, leaving you back at square one.

Michael Herzenberg of NY1 did a great story on the exodus from Stuy Town after the landlord provided terms for people to break their leases. The story was inspired by a press release from CHIP (I haven't seen) which talked about the pandemic exodus as the reason for the rising vacancies. I thought that was a bit of hyperbole since the other key factor has been the inability of the real estate brokerage industry to do in-house showings by state mandate until June 22nd.

The current real estate market seems to be confusing the “experts.” This is especially evident when it comes to their predictions on where home prices are headed. Zillow’s “economic research team,” for instance, sees a “… 1.8% drop in prices through October 2020.”. Both the NAR and Mortgage Banker’s Association, on the other hand, see price increases in their crystal balls (3.8% and 4.0% respectively).

In Australia, less than one in ten people own an investment property. The vast majority of homeowners are what we might label as ‘upgraders’ who only ever own their own home. After buying their first home, upgraders continue to buy a bigger and better home as their family needs change and sell off their previous home in part to finance the upgrade. But is that actually the best way to go about it?
