From Newsweek:

New Jersey Housing Market Could Be Disrupted by Zohran Mamdani

The New Jersey and surrounding housing markets could be impacted by the potential election of New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.

Mamdani’s policies largely aim to break from establishment norms as a democratic socialist, and specific proposals could lead to real estate disruption.

The New Jersey and surrounding housing markets could be impacted by the potential election of New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.

Mamdani’s policies largely aim to break from establishment norms as a democratic socialist, and specific proposals could lead to real estate disruption.

Mamdani’s policy proposals include adding a flat 2 percent tax to New Yorkers who earn above $1 million. He’s also suggested a rent freeze on rent-stabilized apartments and major public housing construction alongside tougher standards for landlords.

Since New York City is a top luxury real estate market, these slew of changes could push some buyers outside of the city, making other markets more expensive as a result.

In the third quarter of 2025, the top cities for New York City residents looking to move to—but stay within the metro area—were Toms River, NJ; Yonkers, NY; Brick, NJ; Freehold, NJ; and Jersey City, NJ, according to Realtor.com.

Meanwhile, the top out-of-metro cities New Yorkers consider moving to are Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Orlando, Myrtle Beach, and Naples, Florida.

“The increasing demand for homes in these markets is likely to put upward pressure on home prices,” Realtor.com senior economist Jiayi Xu told Newsweek. “Markets in New Jersey may see the largest impact, as four of the top nearby cities viewed by New Yorkers are located in New Jersey.”

    That giant sucking sound you‘ll be hearing is coming from all the people with money running for the exit door from New York City. If Mamdani actually wins things are going to get very interesting.

    arely do AAA CMBS bonds absorb losses.

    Indeed, according to FitchRatings: “AAA ratings denote the lowest expectation of default risk. They are assigned only in cases of exceptionally strong capacity for payment of financial commitments. This capacity is highly unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.”

    Scratch that for outdated malls and office buildings post pandemic.

    This week, the resolution of the Palisades Center 2.2 million square foot enclosed regional mall ($418.5MM | PCT 2016-PLSD & JPMDB 2016-C2) located less than an hour north of New York City in West Nyack, New York was announced with wipe outs of all CMBS bond classes and less than a 70% recovery for the most senior AAA class ($157 million of an original $229 million).

    Will these losses turn into the new owner’s gain?

    A reimagined vision, capital and time will answer that question.

    This loan has been in Special Servicing since 2022.

    Bond investors secured by outdated and/or poorly located office and mall assets, even at the AAA level, should be revisiting their recovery expectations.

    Caveat emptor.

    Toms River and Brick? Hello.

  5. Fast Eddie says:

    My asking price just increased by 200K. Come on, Mundonni!! Woo Hoo!

    The filming of “Escape From New York II” is going to include a lot of raw footage.

  6. Hughesrep says:

    Toms River and Brick-

    Old people developments and homes around the bay / shore. Toms River and Brick both have areas that extend out to the Lavallette area.

    Have quite a few members at my golf club that used to live up north and have moved to Ocean County permanently instead of just for the summer.

  7. Fast Eddie says:

    Hughesrep,

    I know Toms River and Brick in my sleep. Anything south of I-195 and not a beach area is basically Indiana with scrub pines.

  8. Dark Phoenix says:

    NJ should do the same as Mamdani, in fact, make it 10 percent.

    Then maybe some of the traffic here will finally go away.

  9. grim says:

    Usually when you see odd place names called out like that, it’s because that’s a statistical area designated by census, BLS, etc. Though, that’s not the case here.

  10. Dark Phoenix says:

    Maybe all of those NY’ers will head to Miami and cause the water table to drop so much the tap becomes salty.

  11. Hughesrep says:

    Toms River and to a lesser degree (for now) Brick have also had a huge influx of Hasidics from Brooklyn.

    Lots of dented black minivans.

  12. VSG says:

    Yep, all those New Yorkers will move to Oklahoma, Mississippi, Tennessee and Louisiana.

    Same way that all NJ rightwingers will never do.

    Hypocrisy of maga that much prefers to die in Germany than moving to the south.

  13. No Ose says:

    Maybe Very Nimble Anus can move to NYC to live in socialist utopia.
    The article shouldn’t use the overused term “disrupted”.
    Some may leave the tri-state area entirely if things get bad enough.

  15. 3b says:

    Lots of Hasids in Rockland Co too. Started in Spring Valley and moved from there. Chestnut Ridge which split from Spring Valley back in the 1960s is now also Hasidic. They are building a big Hasidic school / community center housing on the Chestnut Ridge Montvale border.

  16. 3b says:

    Apparently if Sliwa drops out , Cuomo can win. Sliwa says he won’t, so Momdani will win. I guess NY ers forgot about the Di Blasio years, and now they are going all in for Democratic Socialism.

  20. Chicago says:

    Lakewood/Northwest Toms River/East Jackson looks like a Hasidic Paramus.

    Entire roads being reengineered and upgraded. Fields filled in with McMansion equivalent apartment buildings. Lots of crosswalks on high speed roads. Streets with no signs in English.

    Ciattarelli is going to dominate. It might tip the scale.

  21. grim says:

    There are a lot of Ciattarelli signs around here in Wayne, but we skew Republican for sure.

  22. Chicago says:

    Why do people say Chita-relli?

    Isn’t it Chiata-relli?

  23. Juice Box says:

    Jack has secured the Hasidic vote in Ocean County. Last time it went to Murphy.

  24. Dark Phoenix says:

    Jack has secured the Hasidic vote in Ocean County.

    How exactly does one do this?

  25. Dark Phoenix says:

    I propose that flags be flown in towns where a majority of people have a certain background.

    This should make everything clearer.

    Got a mostly Korean community, hang a Korean Flag. Italians the big group, up with an Italian flag.

    This way, we know what your “angle” is.

    U get the idea.

  30. NJCoast says:

    The migration of the Brooklyn Sephardic community has certainly changed the Monmouth County shore towns of Deal, Allenhurst and Ocean Township. They want to take over entire towns as they don’t like to mingle with others.

  31. Dark Phoenix says:

    Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Is it Pro American or not Pro American?

  32. 3b says:

    Juice: True, times change, as for it being their turn, whether Hasidic or Muslim, that is fine, but the problem is there are some who don’t want anything to do with other Americans, and that is a problem going forward. We are seeing it in Europe.

  33. OC1 says:

    Apparently if Sliwa drops out , Cuomo can win. Sliwa says he won’t, so Momdani will win.

    Good response from Sliwa on that:

    https://x.com/NateFriedman97/status/1979548209895653464

  34. OC1 says:

    Chestnut Ridge which split from Spring Valley back in the 1960s is now also Hasidic.

    I grew up in Chestnut Ridge. The split from Spring Valley came in the late 70’s, as I recall.

    I remember people saying that property values would go up after the split; it basically turned the white half of Spring Valley into Chestnut Ridge.

  35. Juice Box says:

    How so? Sliwa is the Republican candidate on the ballot, do they expect the Republicans to vote for Cuomo?

    When Sliwa ran against Adams in 2021 he got 312,385 votes to 753,801 for Adams. Perhaps Cuomo should drop out and tell his voters to vote for Sliwa…

  36. Libturd says:

    Perhaps, the Dems should just let their votes count, for a change.

  37. Juice Box says:

    OC1 – Everything south of New City has been marked for assimilation.

    Resistance is futile.

  42. Dark Phoenix says:

    America is one big crime syndicate.

    We have already seen the legal system is non functional.

    We now see that the goverment doesn’t believe in the paper that contains the code it’s supposed to operate on.

    All bets are off. It’s a free for all. No laws, no rules, no country.

    Pick your flag, join your group, prepare for battle.

  43. 3b says:

    Oc1: As I understand it, the split of Chestnut ridge from Spring Valley was to get away from the poverty etc in the town, and increase property values as you said. It is a Hasidic community now, and that is where they are building the school/community, housing complex.

  44. Dark Phoenix says:

    Mamdani and Sliwa are listed twice.. and Cuomo is down on the bottom….

    Maybe it’s ranked by age.

    Cuomo is 82 years old already.

    What is America’s obsession with having senior citizens run it’s government?

  45. Dark Phoenix says:

    3b

    If Americans would stick together like the Hasidics, maybe we could build something too.

    Divide and Conquer. The handlers have completed task one. Task 2 is in full operation.

    Nice Job Edward Bernays. To this day your tactics are still effective, now amplified through social media.

  46. Chad Powers says:

    I saw an interesting news on Sweden this morning. They took in 160,000 migrants in 2015. There is a proposal due to rising crime, to deport any migrant that spends only one day in jail. Pretty tough.

  47. Juice Box says:

    re: “maybe we could build something too.”

    What do they build? I am flummoxed to come up with anything.

  48. Juice Box says:

    Chad – They are paying them to leave on their own…$34,000.

    I gather some took it and went to Germany?

  49. OC1 says:

    3b-

    Do you know where they are building it? In google maps the satellite image shows a big construction site along Schoolhouse Road.

    That’s only a few hundred feet from my old house. Used to play in the woods there as a kid.

  50. 3b says:

    Dark: Americans are too busy fighting over stupid stuff, and that’s on both sides. And both parties long ago stopped caring about the American people, the everyday people that get up everyday do their job, and take care of their families, and make the place a little better.

  51. 3b says:

    Oc1: I will have to ask my Wife again, as she works in the area. It is on the Chestnut Ridge Montvale border, if that is nay help.

  52. hughesrep says:

    Lakewood pretty much votes in lockstep. The Vaad tells them who to vote for. I’m sure they get something out of it..I’d guess unchecked development and hands off what they do to schools. Started with Christie.

    Sports betting on your phone, especially the prop bets are completely out of control. Way too easy to be manipulated. Casinos don’t like to lose money.

  53. 3b says:

    Juice: The belief is that if Sliwa drops out, those votes will go to Cuomo, as they would rather him than Mondami.

  54. Juice Box says:

    3b – if he is good for 300,000 votes that is probably more than Cuomo….

  55. Fast Eddie says:

    I love Sliwa but he needs to drop out to give Cuomo a shot. Neither one will so NYC becomes “I am Legend.”

  56. 3b says:

    Juice: Hakeem is like ,many of today’s Democrats who appears to care more about other things then they do the American people. They have no message, no program, no ideas for the American people to rally around and support. They need to have more to offer the American people than they obsession with Trump, but they don’t.

  57. 3b says:

    Juice: If Sliwa wants to stay in, then good for him. His supporters have the right to vote for him. If NY ers want Momdani, then they can have him. Looks like this is how it is now going forward vote for one bad candidate over another, because they are not as bad as the other one. That was the strategy of the Democrats with Harris. And, I think she still thinks she has a shot o running again in 2028. Delusional, but she has not gone away.

    Thom Tillis on Trump’s ask for $230M to DOJ to pay his legal bills:

    “Particularly right now, we’re talking about a quarter of a billion dollars transferring, maybe to the president when we’re in a shutdown posture. It’s at very best bad timing, but I think it’s horrible optics.”

  59. VSG says:

    This is what kleptocracy looks like.

    $25 million: Meta
    $24 million: YouTube

    $10 million: X

    Now $230 million from DOJ?

    – Bernie Sanders

  60. Fast Eddie says:

    Wow, the democrats are now outwardly admitting they’re not passing the budget bill hoping it will hurt Trump. They’re even going as far as saying they know it’ll hurt Americans but that this bill is the only “leverage” they have. Wow!!

  61. VSG says:

    Horrific level of corruption.
    Nigerians would be embarrassed

  62. VSG says:

    Zohran Mamdani just walked onto that debate stage and did what most Democrats have been too scared to do, call Trump’s agenda what it is: authoritarian by design.

    He broke it down like a prosecutor:
    Trump ran on mass deportations, revenge politics, and a fake promise to lower costs. Two out of three were never about helping anyone, they were about control.

    And Mamdani didn’t flinch. He basically said: If Trump wants to talk policy, fine. But if he comes for New Yorkers with that fascist playbook, I’ll meet him on the battlefield every step of the way.

  63. 3b says:

    Oh tough words from Mamdani, the man child who has never worked a day in his life. He is not meeting anyone on a battlefield. He is just a little shit.

  64. Hughesrep says:

    $940 million: law firms – Nope it’s for pro bono legal services for the government for Assisting veterans and law enforcement officers, Combating antisemitism and Ensuring “fairness in the justice system.”

    $400 million plane: Qatar – Nope plane went to the US Airforce and is expected to be donated to the Presidential Library Foundation..

    $36 million from CBS – NOpe again It’s 16 million and it’s going to the same Presidential Library Foundation.

It is crazy over here when someone is in a refugee status, getting benefits, but returns to their home country for vacation. The country where they are supposedly in some type of danger.

    The United States imposed asset freezes and transaction bans on Rosneft and Lukoil on October 22, targeting Russia’s key oil revenue sources that fund the Ukraine war, while President Donald Trump canceled a planned summit with Vladimir Putin. The European Union followed on October 23 with its 19th sanctions package, banning Russian LNG imports from 2027 and restricting over 100 shadow fleet vessels. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and EU leaders praised the measures for pressuring Moscow toward peace, as Russian officials condemned them and global oil prices surged over 4%.
