Market Strategy Evolution: A New York Perspective

How Product Choices Are Adapting as Things Settle Down

So, 2023 was a wild ride, huh? But affordability stress isn’t ruling the roost anymore. Still, brokers keep one eye on those pesky rates. Now, you’ve got two-year fixes fighting for attention alongside the classic five-year deals. It’s all about balancing a little rate gamble with smart cash flow tactics.

“Some landlords are rolling the dice on two-year fixes, expecting rates to drop,” says Cox. “Others play it safe with five years to sleep better at night. It’s all about strategy and market vibes.”

And don’t sleep on product transfers. Once they were the side gig in the buy-to-let world. Now, they’re a sweet option for managing your dollars, skipping those nasty remortgage fees, and sticking with your current lender.

The New Dawn of Brokers: Beyond the Transaction

Cox is betting on brokers who’ll nail the next two years by doing more than just finding hot rates. The winners? Those who decode new laws, energy standards, and lender drama.

Brokers gotta help landlords prep for stuff like the MEES shake-up. They need to know how to bankroll changes across their property stash. It’s not just about numbers anymore; it’s about smart play with foresight.
