The 2019 housing market was nothing but exciting for real estate websites.

Rents across the city hit new highs while sales prices plummeted, and now we’re seeing more and more New Yorkers moving to up-and-coming neighborhoods in a bid to save money.

Nancy Wu, Economist for real estate marketplace StreetEasy, has predictions for the New York City housing market in this upcoming year.
