The new NYC Pied-à-Terre Tax is one of the biggest real estate stories of 2026, and there’s still a lot of confusion around who it impacts.

One of the biggest misconceptions? Many owners are looking at the wrong valuation when trying to determine whether they’ll be affected.

If you own a second home in Manhattan—or are considering purchasing one—it’s important to understand how the city will calculate this new annual surcharge.

Questions about your property? Send me a DM with your building or address.

Buying or selling on the Upper West Side?

This isn’t a one-market neighborhood.
Pricing, buyer demand, and board expectations change block by block and building by building.

A co-op on Central Park West requires a very different strategy than a building near Riverside Drive or Lincoln Square.

That’s why clients work with an Upper West Side–specific agent—someone who understands how individual buildings behave, not just Manhattan in general.

Buying an apartment in New York City isn’t about being the highest bidder.

As a NYC buyer’s agent, I see buyers lose great apartments every week because they focus only on price — not strategy.

In Manhattan, winning an apartment is about:
• Timing
• Offer structure
• Understanding seller motivation

This is why working with an experienced buyer’s agent in NYC matters.

Save this before you start apartment hunting.

Overpricing is the biggest mistake NYC sellers make.

As a NYC seller’s agent, I see apartments sit on the market not because they aren’t good — but because they’re priced wrong.

In Manhattan, pricing isn’t about:
• What your neighbor sold for
• What you “want to test”
• Last year’s market

It’s about current buyer demand and strategic positioning.

This is why working with an experienced seller’s agent in NYC matters.

Save this if you’re thinking about selling your apartment.

📊 NYC Real Estate Reality Check (2025):

• 58% of Manhattan deals are CASH 💰
• 50% of all deals are under $1M
• National 30-year fixed is around 6.3%
• But in NYC? Buy-downs are happening.
My mortgage broker Brian Scott Cohen is currently seeing ~5.625% 👀

Translation:
This market is far more nuanced than the headlines—and buyers who understand the data (and strategy) are winning.

If you’re relying on national stats, you’re already behind.

Follow for real NYC pricing, financing strategy, and what actually closes deals in Manhattan.
