Renowned Swiss economist and cross-border real estate specialist Dr. Pooyan Ghamari, PhD, today releases New York Decoded: The Complete Independent Investment Analysis the authoritative, data-driven blueprint for navigating America's most iconic and complex property market. As the North American cornerstone of his acclaimed Decoded Series, this volume equips international investors with unfiltered insights into the city that sets the global benchmark for real estate.
In a market where Manhattan's median home price hovers at USD 1.175 million to USD 1.24 million – with cash buyers dominating 60 to 65 percent of transactions – New York City remains the ultimate safe haven for USD-denominated assets. Citywide, the median sale price stands at USD 770,000, up 2.1 percent year-over-year, amid a population rebound to 8.48 million residents and vacancy rates near historic lows of 1.9 percent. Dr. Ghamari's independent analysis free from developer, brokerage, or governmental influence dissects this resilient ecosystem, highlighting opportunities amid constrained supply, Wall Street bonus cycles, and tech sector expansion.
This exhaustive 100+ page first edition (2026) covers:
- The Five Boroughs – Detailed breakdowns of Manhattan's luxury tiers, Brooklyn's transformation (median USD 998,000, up 6.4 percent per square foot), Queens' value plays (4 to 5.5 percent yields), the Bronx's high-income potential (5 to 7 percent for multifamily), and Staten Island's suburban affordability.
- Co-ops vs. Condos – Essential distinctions: Co-ops offer 20 to 26 percent discounts but restrict foreign buyers and subletting; condos provide flexibility for international investors.
- Price Architecture and Projections – 20 years of history (2005–2025) showing resilience through crises, plus ten-year forecasts (base case: 60 to 105 percent total returns blending modest yields with 3 to 6 percent appreciation).
- Rental Empire – Yields from 2.5 to 7 percent, with Manhattan averages at USD 5,400/month and citywide vacancy supporting 3 to 5 percent annual rent growth.
- Foreign Buyer Framework – LLC structuring for privacy and protection, FIRPTA navigation, Golden Visa alternatives via EB-5, and zero ownership restrictions for condos.
- Risks and Strategies – Regulatory navigation (rent stabilization, Local Law 97), family office allocations (15 to 30 percent of global portfolios), and emerging neighborhoods like Mott Haven for asymmetric upside.
- Extensive Appendices – 50+ sections including price guides, cash flow models, tax structures, 1031 exchanges, climate risks, and global comparisons (e.g., NYC vs. London, Dubai, Singapore).
Dr. Ghamari, Founder and CEO of ALand FZE, has guided family offices across six continents for over two decades. New York Decoded complements his UAE trilogy (RAK, Sharjah, Ajman Decoded) and Bali Decoded, offering a complete framework for diversified global portfolios.
"New York isn't about yields – it's the anchor that stabilizes gains from higher-return markets," says Dr. Ghamari. "In a city where cash buyers insulate against rates and population growth outpaces supply, NYC delivers the liquidity and resilience no other market can match. This book cuts through the hype to reveal the data-driven path for international capital."
New York Decoded is indispensable for family offices, institutions, and private investors seeking USD-denominated safety amid global volatility.
