Brooklyn Condo Market

By Angela Billings

As a stager who has provided more than a dozen model apartments in the past year to realtors and developers across NYC who are trying to unload their condos, I have some advice: price your condos competitively! A staged apartment is one thing (and they are almost all staged in this competitive market), but reducing your price is where it's at if you are eager to move your units. I have seen condos snapped up like Jimmy Choos on sale, and also seem some of my most glorious projects sit and sit and sit. Realtors: encourage your developers to price them realistically - and developers: listen to your realtors! You'll be better off in the long run - holding on to an empty condo development for months that quickly turn into a year plus isn't very cost-friendly. Best of luck and sell, sell, sell!
