At the beginning of 2024, about 1.87 million residential properties were on sale: this is one of the lowest figures in the last 15 years, which will certainly lead to a more active price increase in the coming years.

In addition, the decrease in supply volumes against the background of the obvious advantages of American real estate in New York contributes to its high liquidity. In the third quarter .
