Attracted by near-record-low mortgage rates and relatively low prices, overall sales have increased in Brooklyn and Queens. The new market emerging could benefit first-time and move-up buyers, as well as renters seeking year-long leases. Every month since May, the real estate market has seen an increase in the number of contracts signed and more people who moved away from the city are finding ways to return.

Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman discusses current increase in home sales in suburban areas of major cities
November 03, 2020
Home sales have increased by 9.5% just in September, 2020, and the median purchase price nearly increased by 15%. Many professionals working remotely from home are seeking to escape from the metropolitan area and purchasing suburban “vacation homes” to live and work in. Low interest rates are also driving sales up. Redfin predicts the number of listings to increase in November continuing onto January and February, 2021.

According to the National Association of Realtors, only in September, the sale of homes has gone up by more than 20% from a year ago despite seeing a decrease in the number of listings. On average, listed homes are sold within 21 days of listing. The Realtors group also currently sees an increase in sale of homes costing more than $1 million. Buyers to whom cost is not a concern continue to make purchases and investments in homes.
