Jane Katz
Jane Katz is a lifelong New Yorker. Her understanding of New York City real estate began early through her father, a successful real estate developer, and has been strengthened by decades of living in, experiencing, and selling in Manhattan’s diverse neighborhoods.
For nearly a decade, Jane has focused on Manhattan luxury real estate, buyer and seller representation, investment properties, rentals, relocation, and first-time home purchases. She brings a strategic, highly responsive approach to every transaction, anticipating issues, negotiating firmly, and managing the details closely so her clients can make informed decisions with confidence. She serves buyers, sellers, investors, tenants, and first-time buyers throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn.
“Without any doubt in our mind, we would not have gotten the apartment we are living in now without Jane”
“We have never worked with a broker who is so responsive, so empathetic, or who works as hard as Jane”
“Jane’s relationships, experience, and diligence are simply unparalleled”
As Manhattan moves into the heart of summer, the residential market is carrying real momentum. Signed contracts increased 5% year over year during the second quarter to 3,477—the highest quarterly total in five years. The median sale price rose 7% to $1.3 million, its second-highest level on record, while inventory fell to its lowest second-quarter level in eight years. Buyers remain selective, but well-priced, well-presented properties continue to attract serious interest and sell.
As we head toward the close of the spring market, Manhattan real estate continues to show impressive resilience and momentum. Activity remains particularly strong in the luxury sector, where all-cash buyers are highly active and well-priced properties are attracting significant attention. Contract activity above $4 million remains robust, while the $2 million to $5 million market is benefiting from mortgage rates that have eased from last year's highs.
