Borrowers have a new agent. Is your organization built for it? AI is shifting negotiating power from lenders to borrowers at scale. The institutions that restructure their workflows and tools to meet that reality will grow. The ones that don’t will feel it in pull-through rates before they understand why. For most of mortgage’s recent history, information asymmetry was a structural advantage. Most borrowers didn’t know what they didn’t know about pricing, programs, or what their credit profile actually entitled them to. That advantage is eroding faster than most executives have accounted for in their strategic plans.

City Council eyes return of controversial property-seizure program A City Council push to resurrect a controversial property seizure program is gaining momentum, with the Mamdani administration supporting a redesign that would once again allow the city to transfer tax-delinquent buildings with dangerous conditions to new owners. Council member Pierina Ana Sanchez, who chairs the Committee on Housing and Buildings, introduced legislation in late January to reboot the city’s Third Party Transfer program. The initiative, halted by former Mayor Bill de Blasio in 2019 after criticism that it disproportionately impacts homeowners of color, would be majorly redesigned under Sanchez’s proposal.

SL Green eyes up to $360M for Sixth Ave office tower SL Green is continuing on its plan to sell $2.5 billion worth of property by putting its 1350 Sixth Avenue office tower up for sale. The REIT led by Marc Holliday is eyeing a price tag upwards of $360 million for the 600,000-square-foot building at East 55th Street, sources told The Real Deal.

Verification first: Why mortgage lending must rethink income — and how it actually works For decades, mortgage underwriting has followed the same basic structure: verify income, review credit, apply ratios, and make a decision. The tools have improved. The thinking largely hasn’t. Automated systems like Desktop Underwriter and Loan Product Advisor can process loans faster than ever.

When Summit Properties bid on a portfolio of 5,100 mostly rent-stabilized apartments in New York, it turned the assumptions of the city’s multifamily market on their heads. Here was a sophisticated buyer not just interested in the properties at a price of $451 million, but actually fighting with the city for the ability to purchase highly regulated units at a bleak time for the rent-stabilized market. More than 1 million apartments in New York have their rent increases capped by law, even when a tenant moves out or a landlord completes major renovations.
