Geoff Martell shared thisIn my nearly ten years of authoring Corcoran's Manhattan Market Report, few ended as positively as 2025. Despite a mayoral election plus economic and political headlines, Manhattan experienced improvements in sales, pricing, and marketing times, inspiring confidence as we head into 2026.

The sponsors have robust track records of developing high-end residential projects, and we’re pleased to have helped them navigate the complexities of the project, which we believe is situated in one of the most attractive locations in all of Florida.” 3650 Capital is thrilled to have provided financing to Newgard Group and Two Roads Development on this exceptional project, providing $143M in mezzanine financing alongside a $370M senior loan - one of the largest recent construction financings in the Miami market.

Geoff Martell shared thisGeoff Martell shared this"As evidenced by the 48% quarter-over-quarter rebound in closings, Q2 2023 showed many positive signs of a market settling into normalcy. Barring a significant increase in new inventory, we may not see prices fall much further. Prospective buyers should seriously consider their available options, or risk missing out on a prime opportunity to buy in Manhattan,” says Corcoran's CEO Pamela Liebman on last quarter's activity. 📊 👉 Read the full #Manhattan market report: https://bit.ly/3NZFZca

Would love to know what kinds of things you're "building" in Excel, especially with VBA. I've also discovered recently the power of Python to completely change workflow.

Geoff Martell liked thisLooks like I joined at just the right time! And you can too. Come work with us: https://lnkd.in/gjVbXwWDGeoff Martell liked thisBig news: Dwelly has closed a $170 million Series B led by EQT Growth, co-led by General Catalyst, Trinity Capital, with participation from VEYRA Capital, s16vc - Founders for Founders Fund, Begin Capital, and DVC, alongside Max Junestrand, Victor Riparbelli, Mati Staniszewski, Philipp Freise, Partner and Co-Head of European Private Equity at KKR, and many other great angels. The deal confirms a very specific approach to how AI should work in a real economy. There are three principles behind building a genuinely AI-native business: 1. End-to-end execution. The agent handles the work from beginning to end, without a human in between. A Dwelly agent reads the maintenance request, looks at the property's history, picks the right contractor, orders parts when this is necessary, arranges the appointment, and updates tenant and landlord along the way, until the job is finished. 2. Persistent context. The agent maintains continuous knowledge of the customer, the property, and the full history of prior interactions between all parties. Dwelly builds this by acquiring agencies with years of correspondence, landlord preferences, and contractor behavior already on record, which helps the system know exactly when a decision should stay with a human. 3. Cross-system operation. The agent works across multiple systems and processes simultaneously. Dwelly's agents move across documents, systems, and people at once, coordinating maintenance and contractor work while staying in touch with tenants and landlords, freeing our team to focus on trust-based tasks like valuations, inspections, and difficult landlord negotiations. Property management is only the first of many labour-intensive, document-heavy markets that will get rebuilt this AI-native way. Here are the three principles Dwelly is using to go after one of the UK's largest, most fragmented industries: 20,000 firms managing around 5.5 million rental properties, handling more than $130 billion in annual rent and around $13 billion in agency commissions. We're confident the same three principles apply well beyond lettings — to other AI-native companies, in other countries, taking on industries just as large, with goals just as ambitious. The winners will be the ones who own the workflow directly, the way Dwelly owns lettings today. Glad to be building at the edge of where this is all heading. Lots of gratitude to Zeynep Yavuz-Willson, Marc Bhargava, Jeannette zu Fürstenberg and Hemant Taneja, who are tripling down on Dwelly, Craig Fox and James Newton who are doubling down, and we are super excited to welcome Nils Petter Nygaard, Dominik Stein (and broader EQT Growth team - Marcel Goehre, Alexander Kitsberg, Kaushik Subramanian) as our partners. To execute on that vision, we are growing (link in comments). The bar is high, but being inside means solving one of the most complex worlds’ challenges with an incredibly talented team. Looking forward to what we’ll build together!

Geoff Martell liked thisGeoff Martell liked thisCLAUDE changed the workflow. Now real estate teams need the next layer. We are seeing the same pattern across acquisitions teams, developers, brokers, lenders, and family offices. Everyone is experimenting with AI. Almost nobody has a reliable underwriting operating system. So inside our team, we built one. Titleman is an AI underwriting team for real estate deals. You can give it an address, upload a presentation, drop in an Excel model, or add supporting materials. Then the system takes over the process: • collects asset and market data • studies location and demand drivers • identifies competitors using behavioral demand, not just map distance • evaluates financing and cash flow • tests value add strategies • runs scenarios • creates a full investment report • generates a ready to edit Excel model • keeps data traceable to original sources It works across multifamily, build to rent, condos, warehouses, self storage, data centers, retail, office, industrial, mixed use, hotels, land, and more. Standard mode is built for faster screening. Deep Underwriting is built for serious diligence when the deal deserves expanded datasets, deeper comp work, more scenario testing, and a more complete investment view. This is the distinction I think the market is starting to understand: Claude helps you produce outputs. A real AI underwriting team helps you produce decisions. That matters because speed alone is not the win. Fast bad analysis is still bad analysis. Fast sourced analysis, with model logic, market context, and assumptions you can defend, is different. The future of real estate AI will not be won by whoever writes the cleverest prompt. It will be won by teams that turn their underwriting standards into systems. That is what we are building. Comment "UNDERWRITING" and I'll send it. Connect with me first so I can DM you.

Geoff Martell liked thisGeoff Martell liked thisThe latest housing data is in and you might be surprised, but inventory is no longer growing. [video link in comments below] That is the defining story of the housing market right now, and it happened faster than almost anyone expected. There are 941,000 homes on the market nationally, essentially unchanged from last week and only 2.7% above last year. Four years of post-pandemic inventory recovery appears to have plateaued. At the current trajectory, we could have fewer homes available than a year ago by May. This matters for two reasons. First, it reinforces just how supply-constrained this market remains. 35 states still have less inventory than in 2019, and 2019 was already a shortage. Illinois has 75% fewer homes for sale now than then. Even Texas, one of the more supply-rich markets, is now seeing growth rates compress to under 5%, with Dallas already negative year-over-year. Second, supply now has implications for prices in the future. Home prices today are often driven by inventory changes from a year ago. Inventory rose sharply last year, so prices are flat to slightly negative now. The median list price for single-family homes is $440,000, down from $450,000 a year ago. But if inventory is no longer rising and may actually shrink this year, that sets up different pricing conditions in 2027. On the demand side, weekly pending sales dipped 3.6% below last year, though the Easter timing explains some of that. Mortgage rates have eased back to around 6.3%, and payments on the median-priced home are about 4.5% cheaper than they were a year ago. That helps buyers a bit and I’m watching for a modest rebound in next week's data. The biggest risks are probably in the macro environment. Rate volatility from geopolitical uncertainty could have shown they can jump quickly. We can already see fragile demand and weak prices. If homebuyers get another economic shock, the trends could turn yet again.
