Manhattan Residential Market Report Q3 2020
A weak third quarter of 2019, the fact that almost half the sales were negotiated before the virus lockdowns, and the large number of closings at 220 Central Park South (CPS) combined to push the average apartment price higher over the past year to $2,302,493. If we just look at closings that had contracts signed after March 22, the average price falls to $1,787,271, a figure lower than the prior three quarters. Not surprisingly, the 220 CPS sales, which sold for an average of $37 million, had a big impact on the overall condominium average price. Removing them, would lower the average price from $3,649,250, to $2,564,120.
Brooklyn Residential Market Report Q3 2020
Brooklyn apartment prices averaged $824,052, down slightly from a year ago. The COVID-19 lockdowns led to 48% fewer apartment sales than 2019’s third quarter. Sales of 1-3 family houses fell 47% compared to a year ago. The average price rose 3% over the past year to $1,145,143.
Dining | DC | Home Cooking | Marjan in Vienna, VA
Family owned and operated, Marjan Carryout & Catering makes as it focus the traditional home cooking of Iran, with an emphasis on khoresh (stew) rather than kabob dishes. The semi-buffet, with daily specials, means there is something new every day. While mostly carryout and catering, there are a few seats indoors and outdoors, and a friendly mom-and-pop atmosphere. 

The owners are originally from Shiraz, which is appropriate as that city is the gateway to Persepolis, the famous city of ancient Persia. When you visit Marjan, you might be fortunate to enjoy tahdig, is the pan-fried layer of crust at the bottom of the rice pot, which is usually offered first to the guest of honor.

Dining | NY | Home Cooking | Pierozek in Greenpoint, BK
When Pierozek opened in Greenpoint about a year ago, CBS New York had this to say: “Roughly 2,000 pierogi are handmade daily at Pierozek, a Brooklyn restaurant whose name translates to ‘little pierogi’.”

Such output is made possible by a team of up to ten women from Poland. In the kitchen each day, they chat in Polish as they roll and fill the pierogi dough, using techniques learned from parents and grandparents back home.

Still going strong, Pierozek offers indoor and outdoor dining, carry out and delivery, throughout the day, seven days a week.
I would personally like to thank you for taking the time to view this email. If you're thinking of buying or selling, you need an agent who knows my hometown of Washington and my adopted home of New York like no one else. I'm that agent. It would be my pleasure to assist you with all of your real estate needs.

I pride myself on cutting through the hassles of buying or selling and providing my clients with exceptional customer service. Let me earn your business.

Sincerely,
 
Andrea
