According to the calendar Spring has arrived.
According to the NYC real estate market, it's just about over. By Memorial Day, the market usually begins to slow as New Yorkers head to the Hamptons, the shore, or the mountains. Since this Spring was much more active than recent years, I suspect this Summer will be different, but a lot depends on developing inventory trends. If there are places to sell, the market will continue to be active as those buyers who missed out on choice properties will fuel the increased demand.

When The Highest Bid
Isn't Enough

An element of negotiation I have not seen in several years is making an comeback. No financing contingencies. Usually included in a sales contract, a mortgage contingency gives buyers the option of backing out if they can't obtain financing within a specified period. And if they do back out, they can take their down payment with them. But the combination of a competitive market and a difficult lending climate has made sellers in New York less amenable to such conditions. They want noncontingent or all-cash offers. And sometimes they get it.
