Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! Our (virtual) office is closed today. We'll be back next week with our most popular and instructive stories of 2021, including how to win a rental (!) bidding war, ways renovators can get around the supply chain crisis, how to reprice private outdoor space, where to find apartments with low carrying costs, and much, much more.

And for those of you who have not yet tipped your building staff, check out Brick's updated holiday tipping guide. Be sure to take part in our two-click tipping poll too!

So cozy up to the glow of your screen and dive in next week. You will be fully informed in order to tackle your real estate goal for 2022, whether it is buying, selling, renting, or renovating an apartment or house in New York City.
