And The Color of the Year Is...?

Can it really be a surprise that the major paint companies and Pantone have all chosen some shade of GREEN for their Color of the Year for 2022? After all, with a year or more of being cooped up due to the pandemic, we are all yearning for outdoor space and nature.



One of its 14 colors of the year, October Mist is "evocative of the stem of a flower... this gently shaded sage anchors and uplifts."
Benjamin Moore
October Mist - 1495
Evergreen Fog is "a versatile and calming hue, a chameleon color of gorgeous green-meets-gray, with just a bit of blue. It's a simple but sophisticated wash of beautiful, organic color for spaces that crave a subtle yet stunning statement shade."
Sherwin Williams
Evergreen Fog - 9130
A relaxed and uplifting sea glass green expressing peace and tranquility for forward movement, Breezeway naturally harmonizes with shades of white, gray and natural wood tones for effortless style in any room.

Breezeway - MQ3-21
Glidden's color of the year, Guacamole is "...driven by our need for calm, regrowth, and rejuvenation after living through these 'unprecedented times,'" said Kim Perry, Glidden paint color guru.
“Calming and nourishing – this natural shade [Blanched Thyme] encourages a calm balance within yourself and within your home.”
– Sue Kim, Valspar® Color Marketing Manager

"Olive Sprig is a mid-tone, neutral, lush green with an organic green undertone. Elegant, grounded, versatile and highly-adaptable, the grey-green color represents regrowth, mimicking nature’s resiliency.
PPG
Olive Sprig - PPG1125-4
Fair Green is one of the 'Core Classics' of five "classic, versatile, season-less hues straight from the runway, all of which can be applied to interiors."

Market Overview
Manhattan
With a record-setting sales volume that topped $9.5 billion, Manhattan experienced its strongest summer in 14 years.

“The Manhattan market saw its best summer since 2007, with closings skyrocketing to a 14-year high and over $9.5B in sales volume – the highest quarterly volume we’ve ever seen. This was also a record summer for sales over $5M with a luxury market driven by buyers seeking more space and better value.
This velocity of deal activity has led to a decline in inventory and a drop in active listings, all signs that hint toward a still-strong market in the fourth quarter. 2021 is shaping up to be one of the best years yet for Manhattan real estate.”
- Pamela Liebman, President & CEO, The Corcoran Group

The following is a comparison of 3rd Quarter 2021 vs 3rd Quarter 2020 and 2nd Quarter 2021:
The East End

"One year ago, we were in the belly of the beast. Initially, COVID-19 created a rental frenzy the likes of which we’ve never seen and may never see again. Then by summer 2020, the realization that this virus was not going away too soon led us to a powerful sales market like no other. Fast forward 12 months and the stats show us a sales market that settled into its own. The number of home sales in 10 of 12 Hamptons markets and all four North Fork markets monitored by Town & Country Real Estate fell. Same with Total Home Sales Volume — 10 out of 12 Hamptons markets and all four North Form markets dropped. But the big news of this report lies in the Median Home Sales Price. All 12 individual Hamptons markets and all four North Fork markets realized gains."
- Judi Desiderio, CEO, Town and Country Real Estate
