On a warm March afternoon, Compass broker Clayton Orrigo was zooming, quite literally, between appointments in the West Village on an electric scooter.
“That’s the only way I can get around fast enough,” he said during a mid-ride phone call.
Many Manhattan residential brokers echo the sentiment; they’ve never been busier. Demand has finally picked up, which means a hefty schedule of showings, fierce negotiations and hurried contract signings. Even bidding wars are back.
It’s not just the optimistic rhetoric all agents seem to share. After a year of depressed activity and headline after headline announcing another company or well-heeled individual moving out of New York, data bears out the uptick.

Taylor Spellman, a veteran of New York City’s interior design and home-staging game, is launching a new show on Discovery+.
The premise of the series, “One Week to Sell” is simple: Spellman’s interior design firm swoops into a sad home that’s languishing on the market and gets one week and a $10,000 budget to transform it into a must-buy.
The show debuts today with the release of the first three episodes. New ones come out weekly on Wednesdays.
The properties featured in the show are in New York’s tri-state area, where sales have soared since the pandemic began last year, as buyers sought bigger homes with outdoor space.
