COVID-19 Opens the Door to Your Dream Investment in New York

To claim that 2020 was unprecedented will be an underestimate. COVID-19 has influenced all facets of American culture, especially the real estate industry. We are experiencing historical developments on a global and domestic scale, including the virus's major socioeconomic effects on New York City. Before COVID-19, New York City drew a large number of visitors as well as many seeking to relocate to the city due to the abundance of jobs and educational opportunities available. The concept of living and working in a city that never sleeps is what makes this area a hotspot for real estate transactions. Things also shifted dramatically in the COVID period, with the vast majority of the population operating from home, skipping public transportation, and spending more time outside. This social-cultural revolt caused by the virus epidemic has left previously happy urbanites weary of being cramped in overpriced New York City homes when the reality has started to sink in that they no longer have to accept these hardships only to get closer to the workplace or classroom.

 

Surprisingly, there are thousands of square miles of available land in New York City's immediate proximity, however, it seems that it took a worldwide pandemic for citizens to note. The real estate sector in New York's suburbs has expanded exponentially, especially in the up-and-coming markets sprouting up in Rockland County, Westchester, the North and South Shores of Long Island, and throughout New Jersey. The transactional operation is completely out of control and has surpassed almost all of the industry's top insiders' original predictions. Families and individuals who have been considering selling their homes and moving into their dream homes–whether upsizing, downsizing, or relocating–have decided that the new market dynamics have provided the perfect chance to do so. People are leaving the city to avoid viral hotspots and to have more room to stretch out and enjoy their newfound free time at home. Real estate analysts warn those considering selling on Long Island that it is the best demand in nearly half a century from both a buyer's and seller's perspective.

 

While the pandemic has wreaked havoc on the economy, there is a bright side for real estate investors. People are realizing their ambitions. Now is the time to engage in a patch and flip opportunities, taking advantage of the extra benefit available from this all-time peak. Over the last year, the average selling price of a home on Long Island has risen from 9.3 percent to 13%. In addition, the number of homes on the market in Suffolk and Nassau counties increased by 55 percent and 65 percent, respectively.

 

Another important factor behind the latest increase in home prices is the lowest interest rates in nearly 50 years. Individuals with good credit scores and reasonable debt-to-income ratios will get traditional mortgages at very low rates. As a result, now is an excellent time for experienced real estate owners to take advantage of discounted bargain properties and use this readily available capital to extend and diversify their portfolios. Purchasing in this retail climate will only boost the profit margins in the future, as the real estate sector shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. 

 

This information reveals a large-scale evacuation of residents from the city's confines. It's hard to drive through either of the suburban hotspots without seeing a house with a "for rent" or "under contract" sign in the yard on any street—and if you see your perfect investment home, you'll want to hurry up and buy it.
