This Independence Day week, we bring you key market insights from both coasts. In NYC, rising taxes and interest rates are tightening affordability, with cash buyers now driving 69% of deals. Meanwhile, Miami’s condo market sees a brief pause, but demand and ultra-luxury prices remain strong due to limited inventory. Featured listings include a classic 3 Bed co-op on Gramercy Park ($3.65M) and a standout 6 Bed architectural masterpiece in Coconut Grove ($20.8M). Enjoy the fireworks, backyard BBQs, and a moment to slow down this summer.

Change is unsettling, and we all fear it. Sometimes, it’s forced on us by external events like 9/11 or the collapse of Lehman Brothers. Other times, it’s personal—job loss, divorce, or the quiet realization that it’s time for a fresh start. Real estate is often at the center of these turning points.
