<\/p>\n
New York, the capital of all challenges and centre of all energies,<\/strong>\u00a0is once again forging ahead. In the west of Manhattan, in the renovated Hudson Yards district, the crown jewel of\u00a0international businesses stands tall behind the blue windows of the next-generation skyscraper<\/strong>. Older buildings are having their restructuring completed to meet the demands of remote working. The show must go on. Near the One World Trade Center, preparations are under way for the opening of the gigantic Ronald O. Perelman Performing Arts Center.\u00a0In the land of art galleries<\/strong>, TriBeCa is on track to dethrone Chelsea, while\u00a0the theatres\u00a0<\/strong>have once again switched on their neon signs on Broadway.\u00a0And the restaurants are laying their tables. New York never ceases to amaze.<\/strong><\/p>\n Prices in New York have seen steady increases over the long term<\/strong>, interspersed with the occasional temporary shock (often less than 6 months) of limited intensity. On average over the last four decades, the annual increase has stood at around 3%<\/strong>. While prices appeared to stagnate as of the end of 2018, the pandemic naturally caused a standstill real estate activity<\/strong>, albeit limited to the quarters two and three of 2020, resulting in a relative price fall of around 10%.<\/p>\n But the market quickly resumed its growth as of late 2020, with prices returning to the same levels as previous years<\/strong>. Average prices in Manhattan are around \u20ac13,000\/sq.m<\/strong>, and \u20ac9,500\/sq.m in Brooklyn<\/strong>, though they can reach dizzying heights for exceptional properties.<\/p>\n It\u2019s all about location:\u00a0TriBeCa, SoHo, Hudson Yards in Manhattan and Dumbo in Brooklyn<\/strong>. Go for new buildings rather than more dilapidated units. Lastly, with the exception of detached homes and townhouses, which are both rare and costly, properties with flexible spaces (rooms\/additional spaces to use as an office) and\/or outdoor spaces (balcony, terrace, rooftop, garden level) are the priority, says Yann Rousseau, Managing Partner of BARNES New York.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you\u2019re looking to sell, now\u2019s the time! The market is buoyant. If you\u2019re looking to buy, check out the new development opportunities and make sure you\u2019re in good hands.\u201d<\/p>\n Recommendations<\/strong> \u201cThink about location, transport, charges and renovation work (as well as ongoing construction), the ownership structure (condo vs. coop) and the services (concierge and lift in particular).\u201d<\/p>\n Top locations Manhattan<\/strong> as a whole is recommended (excluding certain localised pockets).
