Residential Transition & Hard Money Lending in New York

New York real estate moves fast, and Crebrid keeps up.

Whether you're acquiring, rehabbing, or refinancing, we provide flexible financing tailored to your project’s needs. Our loans are asset-based, meaning we evaluate the property’s value and potential rather than your income or credit score.

From fast closings to clear communication, Crebrid is the trusted partner investors rely on in New York’s diverse real estate landscape.

What is a Hard Money Loan?

A hard money loan from Crebrid is a short-term real estate loan secured by the property’s value, not the borrower’s creditworthiness or income history. This allows investors to bypass the lengthy approval process required by banks and gain quick access to funding. Whether you’re purchasing, rehabbing, or refinancing, our loans offer transparent terms and competitive rates to keep your project moving forward.

New York Real Estate Market Insights

Statewide, pricing is firming and contract activity improved into fall, though dynamics diverge sharply between NYC and upstate. New investors should focus on corridor-by-corridor comps; experienced buyers can lean into neighborhoods where inventory is building.

  • Statewide baseline: New York’s typical home value is ~$505,600, +3.8% YoY, with ~28 days to pending. That tempo supports clean scopes and quick exits in non-luxury tiers.
  • NYC contracts & listings: 1,721 NYC homes entered contract in September, the most for the month since 2021, alongside a 9.6% rise in new listings and faster DOM YoY. Momentum plus fresh supply can open negotiation on dated product; StreetEasy’s September 2025 report has the city detail.
  • State association read: NYSAR’s September indicators highlight statewide trends on sales, inventory, and prices that frame metro strategies. Use the NYSAR monthly report to balance NYC readings with upstate comps before underwriting.
