StreetEasy has both Sale and Rental listings and lets you search these listings using our comprehensive search capabilities. With advanced search you can narrow your search by neighborhood, price, bedrooms and many more critera.

We also have a text search box to help you quickly find information on buildings, schools, agents, neighborhoods and recorded sales. The quick search box is on the StreetEasy home page underneath the traditional search form and it is also at the top right of most pages in the site. Using quick search you can search for the following:

* Street Addresses – enter a street address and the search will find properties at that street address.

* Schools – enter the name of a school in the city and we will find that school and show you all listings zoned for that school (Example: PS6, Lillie Blake)

* Agents – enter the first and/or last name of the agent and we will show agents which currently have listings in StreetEasy (Example: Cohen, Williams)

* Neighborhoods – enter the name in our quick search box and we will bring you to a page with information about that neighborhood, including listings, new developments and stats (Example: Yorkville, UWS, Williamsburg )

* Recorded Sales – if you are a StreetEasy Insider you can search recorded sales by address or party name using the quick search. You can also search by price, neighborhood and other criteria using our Recorded Sales Search.

In advanced search, you can search the listing description text for keywords such as “terrace” or “fitness center.” Note that the brokers who list the property write the descriptions, which may not always have the terms present.

You can save your search and receive emails whenever a new listing is uploaded that meets your search criteria. To do this you must be signed up and logged into your account. Once your search results are shown, click on the orange “SAVE” button towards the top of the page to save the search criteria to your Folders

No, all you need is a free account to save searches with StreetEasy.

You can click on the link for Recorded Sales at the top of any page to access a search for recorded sales.

Search for the school name via the text search on the StreetEasy homepage or the search field available in the upper-right corner of all other pages. On the subsequent results page, follow the desired link in the SCHOOL section. On the school page, you’ll see a summary of available sales and rentals zoned for this school in the LISTINGS section. Follow either of these links to browse available listings.

Open houses may be searched as part of Open House Planner or advanced search. You can also jump directly to a view of open houses scheduled for the coming week. These results may then be further filtered.

Search for the neighborhood name via the search field on the StreetEasy homepage or the search field available in the upper-right corner of all other pages. On the subsequent results page, follow the desired link in the NEIGHBORHOOD section. On the neighborhood page, you’ll see separate sections for Sales and Rentals, with links to view more listings available in both.

If you are an Insider, you can create a custom boundary to find listings within your own desired area. First, start with an “advanced search” then check off ‘Custom Boundary’ in the criteria on the right. Next, click on the picture of a map on the left to open the custom boundary window. You can drag the corners of this rectangle to your desired shape, drag the shape using the circle in the middle, and create more corners by dragging the square between two existing corners. Once you create your shape, give it a name at the bottom, then click ‘Accept’ to continue your search with this boundary.

One you have registered as an agent you can visit the Feature Your Listing page for further instructions.

All brokers have the ability to manage their listings on StreetEasy for free. Type your name in the search field to find your page. Once you reach your page, all of your listings will be shown. To manage your listings you must “claim” your page. To do this scroll to the bottom of the page where you will see a gray box asking “are you (agent’s name)?” Click on the link and follow the directions to confirm that you are the agent. Once you have claimed your page, you will have the ability to add and change information about your listings as well as feature them.

You can edit your profile by visiting your Agent Tools, always available by clicking the orange “AGENT TOOLS” link on the right sidebar. Then click “Profile” in the gray menu on the left. Here you can update your agent profile, including your bio and photo.

Click on Submit your Listings and send us your information. We will work with you to add your listings to our site

“Claiming” closings ensures that you have presence both on the individual deals you were are part of, as well as potential presence on building pages as a Top Agent. If you are on the sell-side, go to your agent tools page and click on “past listings” on the left side. You can then classify deals as sold or de-listed.

You can claim buy-side deals, or sell-side which we didn’t have listings for, on the individual closings. You can find these closings from either a building page or a closing search.

From a building page
On every building page, you’ll see an ACTIVITY FOR THIS BUILDING section, with two columns of numbers ordered by date. The left column represents closings prices, and clicking on this price will bring you to the closing page (see below for how to claim the deal)

From a search
You can search for closings either by typing in the name of the buyer/seller in our text search on the top right corner of the site, or via our Recorded Sales tab at the top of the site.

On the closing…

On the bottom right corner of every closing you’ll see an “associated listing” section.
Click “Were you a part of this transaction? Let us know” and certify whether you represented the buyer or seller. The other listing agent on the deal will get a confirmation email, and you’re all set!

StreetEasy keeps all listing history displayed for any listing on the site, both in the StreetEasy History section on a listing page, as well as in the Past Activity section on a building page. The days on market for a previously-posted sales listing will only reset if the listing has been continuously off-market for 6 months (3 months for a rental listing).

The Abatement Program provides partial tax relief for condo owners and co-op tenant-shareholders to reduce the disparity in property tax paid between residential Class 2 properties (i.e., condominiums and cooperatives) and Class 1 properties (i.e., one-, two-, and three-family homes), which are assessed at a lower percentage of market value.

Here are some short explanations:

Condominium – The type of ownership in real property where all of the owners own the property, common areas and buildings together, with the exception of the interior of the unit to which they have title.

Cooperative – An apartment building or a group of dwellings owned by a corporation, the stockholders of which are the residents of the dwellings. It is operated for their benefit by their elected board of directors. In a cooperative, the corporation or association owns title to the real estate. A resident purchases stock in the corporation which entitles him to occupy a unit in the building or property owned by the cooperative.

Condop – The term given to a co-op that has rules and by-laws similar to that of a condominium. The freedom to sublet, put only 10% down at closing, and easy board approval are characteristics of a condo that have been adopted by a co-op. Such properties have become commonly known as condops. Closing costs will be similar to that of a co-op (significantly lower than condos) and the buyer will be purchasing shares in a corporation rather than real property.

Sign up to be an Insider

Click on the Talk tab on the top of the StreetEasy homepage. Scroll down to the bottom of the Talk homepage where you will find a text box to start a new discussion. Here you can choose a category from the pull down list, give your comment a subject, and enter your comments for discussion.

The next time you post a new discussion or reply to an existing topic, you will have the option to create a “Display Name” for yourself. From then on, the name you choose will be your public identity on StreetEasy Talk and, if not changed, will default to your existing login.

To the left of every comment, under the commenter’s name is a “flag” link. Clicking this link will send our support staff a notice that this comment may be offensive. Our team will review and, if found to be inappropriate, remove the comment.

Click on the My tab at the top of StreetEasy. Next click on the Settings section. Here you can type your new password (and type it again for confirmation).

Click on the Account Settings tab at the top of StreetEasy. Under “E-mail options” you can choose how often you receive email updates: never, daily or hourly (as an Insider).

Click on “Account Settings” on the right side of the homepage. Next click on Billing in the column on the left. Here you can update your credit card information for use with Insider accounts and featured listings.

On many pages on the StreetEasy site you will see an orange “SAVE” button. This button saves whatever item you are looking at and notifies you by email whenever it changes. For example:

* Searches – you will be notified whenever new listings come on the market that match that search, or when there are price changes for listings matching the search.
* Buildings – you will be notified whenever listings close or come on the market for that building.
* Listings – you will be notified of price or status changes for a listing.
* Discussions – you will be notified whenever there are new messages posted to a discussion.

Go to your My Page by clicking on the “My Page” tab at the top of our site. You will be brought to a page showing all your lists, click on the item you do not want to receive further updates for. Next to email updates click on “Stop.”

When saving an item you will then be asked to place that saved item in a list. Lists are an easy way to group your saved items together. For example if you have a set of listings on the Upper East Side you could save them in a List called “Upper East Side Listings.”

On the page for a building you will see Active listings, In-Contract listings, Recorded Sales and Previous listings.

* Active listings are listings that are currently available and on the market.
* In-Contract listings are listings where the buyer and seller have entered into contract, but the sale has not been made yet.
* Recorded Sales come from the NY City records. These are sales that have closed and have been reported to the city. Sales take anywhere from 6 days to up to 90 days to be reported.
* Previous listings are listings that are no longer on the market, or have been removed from the broker website. They may be sold, temporarily off the market, or have been taken off the market for other reasons.

On the homepage of StreetEasy, next to the open house section, you will find an orange button “OPEN HOUSE PLANNER.” You can also access the Open House Planner through My Page. You must be logged on to access the planner in order to save your lists.

First put in your search parameters for open houses. From the results, click on the orange “SAVE” button corresponding to your desired listings. This will save the listing to a list of all the open houses you have saved for that specific day. From these lists, which will be named by date, you can reorder, rename and print out your itinerary. Your lists will be saved until you delete them.

When viewing your list, place your cursor on the listing you want to move. Click and hold on the blue “DRAG,” then drag it to another position on the list.

When viewing your list, click the orange “PRINT” button. This will bring you to a printable page with your arranged open houses with pictures and maps of their locations.

The Open House Planner is a tool that lets you create lists of open houses. These lists can be used as an itinerary and be reordered, renamed, and printed out to show the open houses on maps.

StreetEasy allows you to display video for your listings. It is a great way to differentiate your listing and to generate more traffic! Currently we accept videos from YouTube, MotionBox or Vimeo. Follow the instructions on one of those sites to upload your videos. If you are given a choice to make the video public or private, make sure to choose public. Once the video is uploaded you can then add it to your listing in StreetEasy using the URL that you use to watch the video.

Example URLs:
MotionBox – http://www.motionbox.com/video/player/7c98dbb01ef4
YouTube – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUldGc06S3U
Vimeo – http://vimeo.com/156659

If you have videos with a video provider that we do not support, or any questions about the process, then contact us and we can help you out.

Hotsheets are daily emails containing the newest real estate information for NYC.

We offer four tailored hotsheets. Our three daily hotsheets include all of the new sale or rental listings as well as new recorded sales. Our fourth hotsheet comes out every Thursday containing open houses for the weekend.

As an agent on StreetEasy, you can sign up for Hotsheets via your Account Settings page under the Email Options section.

If you sign up for StreetEasy’s hotsheets we will never send you anything other than a hotsheet (unless you have saved items in Folders, then we’ll send you updates for those). We will not rent, sell, or give your email address to any third party.
