Within minutes of Zohran Mamdani clinching the Democratic nomination <\/a>Tuesday night, real estate agents like Ryan Serhant were flooded<\/a> with calls from clients looking to walk away from deals to buy apartments in NYC. High-end buyers are now looking to purchase property outside of the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy number one job will be moving people from New York to Florida. Again,\u201d Serhant told me. \u201cBased on the results, clients are going to hold off on making any kind of investment in New York City.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to a note I reviewed, one client who had made an offer on a Chelsea apartment sent her broker an email minutes after former Governor Cuomo conceded to Zohran Mamdani. \u201cWe are going to take a break from looking until there\u2019s more clarity on the mayoral election,\u201d the client wrote.<\/p>\n

One Manhattan-based founder who already pays 50% of her income immediately started thinking about moving. \u201cWhere can we go?\u201d she asked me.<\/p>\n

Other New York-based venture capitalists, founders and bankers I spoke with said they\u2019re already looking at properties in far-flung locations like Uruguay and Milan and closer-to-home options, such as Palm Beach, should Mamdani win the general election in November.<\/p>\n

Florida real estate agents are already seeing a surge in interest.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe amount of lifelong New Yorkers texting me [about a move to Florida] is close to shocking,\u201d Nathan Zeder, a broker who works at the Jills Zeder Group, told me. MEGA for NY Post<\/p>\n

\u201cThe amount of lifelong New Yorkers texting me [about a move to Florida] is close to shocking,\u201d Nathan Zeder, a broker who works at the Jills Zeder Group, told me. The company, which is based in Fort Lauderdale, has sold $1.8 billion worth of real estate in Florida so far this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are frightened and over the next three to four months we\u2019re going to see a lot of people consider South Florida again \u2014 it\u2019s going to be a COVID level of interest,\u201d Zeder added. \u201cThese are people who can afford to move with relative ease.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Serhant said he\u2019s not resigned to Mamdani winning in November and running the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll see what happens now \u2014 you\u2019re going to see the real estate and investment community back Adams,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Other sources told me that the pro-business community in New York is already donating to Adams \u2014 who is running for re-election as an independent candidate \u2014 and trying to figure out how they can best support the current mayor.<\/p>\n

Serhant, who is featured in this season\u2019s \u201cSex and the City\u201d reboot \u201cAnd Just Like That,\u201d is at odds with co-star Cynthia Nixon who plays Miranda Hobbes.<\/p>\n

Within minutes of Zohran Mamdani clinching the Democratic nomination Tuesday night, real estate agents like Ryan Serhant were flooded with calls ZUMAPRESS.com<\/p>\n

Yesterday, Nixon posted to X that \u201cI don\u2019t know that I have ever been more excited to vote for anyone than I am to vote for Zohran Mamdani.\u201d<\/p>\n

Serhant told me the message he\u2019s drilled into his 500 agents across 19 states over the years running his firm is \u201cmarkets and policy don\u2019t dictate our success but they dictate our strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n

And that strategy? <\/p>\n

\u201cThere are plenty of other places to live,\u201d he said. Agents in the Sunshine Belt, which covers the southern part of the U.S., including Arizona, Texas, and Florida, have been the busiest since lat night, Serhant noted.<\/p>\n

Of course, it might not be all bad. Another source told me that the number of New Yorkers looking to flee the possibility of a socialist mayor could create a significant \u201cMamdani discount\u201d in the real estate market.<\/p>\n
