"The Manhattan luxury market shook off high mortgage rates, tariffs, foreign wars, and a mayoral election. Price realism — not bravado — moved the market." — Olshan Realty Year-End Report 2025

Tailwinds
Wall Street bonuses expected to sustain luxury demand through 2026
International capital flows intact — strong USD not deterring foreign buyers
Supply structurally constrained — minimal new dev deliveries before 2027
Trophy & ultra-luxury has strongest momentum in a decade
Corcoran: 6 consecutive quarters of annual sales growth
Headwinds
Signed contracts down 6.7–11% in Q1 — buyers more selective
Geopolitical uncertainty & tariff risk impacting sentiment
Mortgage rates: a spike above 7% would slow the mid-market
Mamdani's rent-freeze policies add investor uncertainty
Entry-level & co-op under $1M softening — buyer caution evident

Manhattan for
Gulf Families

A complete guide for families from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the wider Arab world — covering what to buy, where to live, and how the process works from abroad.

1
Condos only — no co-op board approval

International buyers must target condominiums exclusively. Co-op boards routinely reject foreign buyers without a US financial history. The process is unpredictable and intrusive — condos eliminate this risk entirely.

2
Cash buyers have significant leverage right now

No mortgage contingency, no appraisal delays. Average Q1 2026 luxury discount was 9%. Cash-rich Gulf buyers are in the strongest negotiating position the market has seen in years — particularly at the trophy level.

3
Trophy segment surging — the right moment to enter

The $10M+ market where most Gulf buyers transact saw +47% contract growth in Q1 2026. Less domestic competition, more access to the finest new development inventory at negotiable prices.

4
Close in 60–90 days, remotely if needed

Most of my international clients close without traveling to New York. I coordinate everything — attorneys, due diligence, and final closing via power of attorney — on your behalf and your timeline.

5
Federico speaks your language

Fluent in English, Italian, Spanish, and conversational French and Japanese — Federico connects naturally with a diverse international clientele and understands the specific needs of Gulf families relocating to Manhattan.
