    State of the Rental Market and vryf_ID

    New York City's rental market continues to evolve at a rapid pace, shaped by affordability pressures, shifting demand across boroughs, tighter inventory, and a growing emphasis on transparency and compliance. Renters today are navigating higher expectations from landlords, more complex application requirements and increasing competition for well-priced apartments while agents are balancing speed, security and accuracy in every transaction.    At the same time, technology is stepping in to streamline one of the most frustrating parts of the process: verification and documentation. Platforms like vryfID are changing how identity checks, financial verification, and application screenings are handled, helping reduce fraud, accelerate approvals, and create a  smoother, more secure experience for renters, landlords, and brokers alike. Today we're taking a closer look at where the NYC rental market stands right now and how smart tech solutions are reshaping the way deals get done.   Filmed at Brown Harris Stevens' Studio 1873, Part of the Mastery of Real Estate (MORE) Network.   Subscribe: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talking-new-york-real-estate-with-vince-rocco/id1645541166   Connect with Vince Rocco: https://www.bhsusa.com/real-estate-agent/vince-rocco   Brown Harris Stevens is one of the largest privately owned real estate brokerages in the country, with more than 40 offices across four states: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Florida.   https://bhsusa.com/   #realestatebuyers #nycrealestate #realestate #vincerocco #TNYRE #theeverset #roadwaymoving #newyorkrealestate #nyc

    Condos vs Co-Ops - The Decisions Buyers Still Struggle With

    In New York City real estate, few decisions generate more confusion or more debate than the choice between a condo and a co-op. On paper, the differences seem straightforward. In reality, buyers quickly discover that this decision touches everything from lifestyle and financing to governance, resale flexibility, and long-term value.   Condos offer autonomy, liquidity, and fewer restrictions, but often at a premium. Co-ops, which still dominate much of the city's housing stock, can provide more space and value, yet come with board scrutiny, financial disclosures, and rules that can surprise even seasoned buyers.   So why, in 2026, are buyers still struggling with this choice? Is it about control versus community? Flexibility versus stability? Or simply understanding how these two ownership models actually work in today's market?   Today, we're breaking down the real-world trade-offs between condos and co-ops in New York City—what buyers need to know, what they often misunderstand, and how to make the right decision for their goals, not just their budget.   Filmed at Brown Harris Stevens' Studio 1873, Part of the Mastery of Real Estate (MORE) Network.   Subscribe: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talking-new-york-real-estate-with-vince-rocco/id1645541166   Connect with Vince Rocco: https://www.bhsusa.com/real-estate-agent/vince-rocco   Brown Harris Stevens is one of the largest privately owned real estate brokerages in the country, with more than 40 offices across four states: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Florida.   https://bhsusa.com/   #realestatebuyers #nycrealestate #realestate #vincerocco #TNYRE #theeverset #roadwaymoving #newyorkrealestate #nyc.

    The Man Behind the Mic

    Today, we're doing something a little different.    If you've been listening to this show for years, you know the voice. You know the questions. You know the guests.   But what you may not know is the story behind the mic.   Today, we're flipping the script. I'm hosting the show, and I'm interviewing the person who has spent more than a decade interviewing everyone else.   Vince Rocco is entering his 12th year behind the mic. What began as a live radio show in 2014, before podcasts were mainstream, before YouTube was the default, has grown into one of the most trusted platforms for thoughtful conversations about New York real estate.   This episode isn't about headlines or hot takes.   It's about longevity. Perspective. Judgment.   And what it takes to build something that lasts.   Vince—Welcome to your own show.   Filmed at Brown Harris Stevens' Studio 1873, Part of the Mastery of Real Estate (MORE) Network.   Subscribe: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talking-new-york-real-estate-with-vince-rocco/id1645541166   Connect with Vince Rocco: https://www.bhsusa.com/real-estate-agent/vince-rocco   Sponsored by Roadway Moving and Storage: https://www.roadwaymoving.com/   Brown Harris Stevens is one of the largest privately owned real estate brokerages in the country, with more than 40 offices across four states: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Florida.   https://bhsusa.com/   #realestatebuyers #nycrealestate #realestate #vincerocco #TNYRE #theeverset #roadwaymoving #newyorkrealestate #nyc

    Who Is Buying In NYC Right Now?

    When we break down who's buying real estate in New York City right now, the picture becomes very clear — and it's not driven by first-time, entry-level buyers. Older Millennials are leading the charge. These are buyers in their late 30s and early 40s who delayed purchasing, built careers, and are now entering the market with intention, stronger balance sheets, and a long-term view. Right behind them is Gen X — buyers who are often trading up, buying for space, schools, or multigenerational living, and making highly practical decisions. And then you have Baby Boomers, who remain a powerful force in NYC. Many are downsizing, relocating capital within the city, or buying with substantial equity or all cash, which continues to influence pricing and negotiations. Gen Z is starting to appear, but in New York City they remain a relatively small segment. Affordability, career stage, and the realities of co-op rules and financing mean most are still renters or waiting on the sidelines. So when we talk about today's NYC market, it's really being shaped by buyers with experience, capital, and clarity — and that dynamic defines how deals are getting done Featuring guests Louise Philips Forbes of Brown Harris Stevens, Daniel Blatman of Compass, and Leslie Modell of Sotheby's.

    Forecasting 2026 – NYC & Connecticut

    In this week's episode Vince discusses how in NYC, urgency is selective: buyers remain cautious, sellers are measured, yet competitively priced homes in the right buildings and neighborhoods are moving quickly, revealing pockets of renewed momentum beneath a seemingly steady surface. Meanwhile, Connecticut shows a different form of urgency—driven by lifestyle migrations, limited inventory, and strong demand for turnkey properties in desirable towns and school districts. The moment the right home hits the market, competition surges.   Together, these markets create a regional ecosystem where urgency does not disappear; it simply shifts. Understanding where that urgency is concentrated—and how pricing, product, and buyer psychology shape it—has become essential for consumers, brokers, and investors navigating the corridor between city and suburbs.   Filmed at Brown Harris Stevens' Studio 1873, Part of the Mastery of Real Estate (MORE) Network.   Subscribe: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talking-new-york-real-estate-with-vince-rocco/id1645541166   Connect with Vince Rocco: https://www.bhsusa.com/real-estate-agent/vince-rocco   Brown Harris Stevens is one of the largest privately owned real estate brokerages in the country, with more than 40 offices across four states: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Florida.   https://bhsusa.com/   #realestatebuyers #nycrealestate #realestate #vincerocco #TNYRE #theeverset #roadwaymoving #newyorkrealestate #nyc
