We are excited to announce the publication and release of the premiere issue of The Sargent Report: Tribeca. Tony Sargent designed a new take on The Sargent Report to provide a concise and comprehensive review of Tribeca’s luxury real estate market. This issue includes a summary of sales and market activity, details on future new developments, and the neighborhood’s most recent, noteworthy condo sales.

Sales volume for overall Manhattan real estate is at historic highs, while inventory and new listings are at five-year lows. However while luxury property sales remain high, an increase in entry-level sales draw overall averages down slightly.

In Tony’s experience  of selling Tribeca luxury condos and co-ops, he has recognized that the area is a very  strong micro-market with its own sales dynamics.

Publishing The Sargent Report: Tribeca is  a result Tony’s vision and objective to provide residents and buyers of Tribeca high-end condominiums with the best possible advice, analysis, predictions and insight needed to make confident real estate decisions.
