Whether you're acquiring, rehabbing, or refinancing, we provide flexible financing tailored to your project’s needs.

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.

Why Single Family Real Estate Deals Fail in Execution

01.26.2026
Many single-family real estate deals still look strong on paper, but performance often falls short after closing. As margins compress and holding costs rise, execution risk—not acquisition—has become the primary driver of success or failure.
