Straight answers on NYC investment sales.

Price to real, recent comps; make the inexpensive fixes that lift perceived value; build a clean rent roll and data package; then run a targeted process to the qualified buyers most likely to close — including off-market relationships. Dispositions for owners run on exactly this playbook: the best executable price, not the highest unsupported headline.

Three-family product in Crown Heights has traded around a ~3.9% cap, with broader asking cap rates roughly 5.9%–9.72% depending on stabilization and condition. For context, Astoria three-family runs near ~4.2% and East Flatbush near ~5.0%.

It comes down to buildable square footage — lot size times FAR — and the residual after construction costs and developer profit. LIC is especially compelling because the OneLIC Plan rezoned 54 blocks and enables about 14,700 new apartments, with market asking rents near $4,326/unit versus a NYC average around $3,616.

Yes — off-market is where a broker earns the relationship. Brooklyn led the city with about $5.4B in off-market volume, and Queens led in off-market deal count (~5,400 deals, up 21%). Much of the best product never hits the public listing sites, so access depends on direct owner relationships and an active deal network.

If you want someone who tracks Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan submarkets block by block and transacts in them — running dispositions for owners and bringing the right deals to qualified buyers across multifamily, mixed-use, development sites, and hotels — that's exactly what NYC CRE Insights delivers.

Fort Greene posted one of the largest year-over-year price gains in the city at roughly +107.6% (a top-five citywide gainer in May 2026), and Malba in Whitestone jumped about +61% YoY to a record $2.5M median — the fifth-priciest neighborhood in NYC and the first Queens nabe ever in the top five.

Yes. Private-listing and off-market activity surged across the city, with Brooklyn leading on volume (about $5.4B) and Queens leading on deal count (roughly 5,400 deals, up 21%). The trend is a big reason buyers increasingly need a broker with direct owner access.

Queens recorded about $3.43B in investment-sales volume in 2025, up 16% on 558 transactions. Rezonings like OneLIC, record pricing in pockets like Malba, and strong renter demand across Astoria and LIC are pulling capital into the borough.

About 43,000 units were under construction at the start of the year, and developers filed roughly 21M square feet of new projects in Q1 — a clear signal that builder demand for well-zoned sites is active.

Crown Heights rents rose about 4.97% month-over-month in April 2026, outpacing Bed-Stuy and Brooklyn overall, and median sale prices are up around 18% YoY. Strong rent growth supports income but compresses entry cap rates, so disciplined underwriting matters — the right call depends on your hold period and thesis.

Bed-Stuy's median home price is around $1.6M, up about 27.8% YoY in early 2026, with price-per-square-foot generally between $850 and $1,100. It remains one of Brooklyn's most active value-add and multifamily markets.

In most investment-sales transactions the commission is paid from sale proceeds, so buyers typically engage the brokerage without a separate retainer. Exact terms depend on the deal and are agreed in writing up front. Brokerage services are provided through Compass.

Multifamily, mixed-use, development sites, and hotels — concentrated in Manhattan south of 96th Street, core Brooklyn neighborhoods, and select Queens submarkets. These are the deals where submarket knowledge and execution make the biggest difference.

Value the residential and commercial income streams separately, apply the cap rate the market assigns each, and factor in lease terms, tenant credit, and any unused buildable area. Corridor momentum matters — repricing commercial strips in appreciating nabes can lift both rents and exit pricing.
