Send us a text This week we talk to Lisa Lippman and Curtis Jackson, two of the top agents in New York (and she's #14 in the nation) to get at the truth behind what just happened in 2020 and where is it heading. The New York Times just wrote about "The Great Collapse of 2020" saying that "rent in Manhattan had fallen to a level not seen since 2010, and hundreds of the must vulnerable renters faced the prospect of eviction..." comparing the situation to the Great Recession, "when prices fell nearly 10 percent" The Real Deal wrote in "A Garbage Year, The State of Manhattan's Luxury Resi Market in 2020" that contracts declined by 31% and "though the market later rallied, it wasn't enough to get close to the 935 contracts signed in 2019" Meanwhile, Fortune writes that "New York's luxury real estate market should enter 2021 with confidence" and Inman wrote 4 hours ago "this city is poised to become the hottest real estate market of 2021" What can we believe? We ask the experts in the market. Lisa Lippman is one of the The Wall Street Journal top 20 agents in the country (every year) and has sold $43 million of real estate in New York since June when the market opened back up.
