StreetEasy is very excited to release our first market report video. Each month, we will release a short video to accompany the publication of our market report. The videos will feature Sofia Song, Head of Research at StreetEasy, and local real estate professionals such as real estate agents, appraisers and industry analysts discussing the report's findings. These videos will break down our numbers and supplement it with the insight and experience of local professionals. Our aim is to provide informative, straight forward and engaging context for a complex report on a complex real estate market. For our first video, Sofia discusses July's findings with John Gomes and Fredrik Eklund of Prudential Douglas Elliman. The pair are established agents in the luxury market -- and you may recognize Fredrik from the Bravo TV series Million Dollar Listing. Watch the video for an animated discussion of contract activity and median prices -- yes, with these two it's possible! -- and an inside peak at their exclusive listing at the American Express Carriage House at 60 Collister Street in Tribeca.
