"A Place to Call Home?" is part of the TIER Talks speaker series, which leverages Binghamton's greatest assets — our alumni and faculty — to give you thought-provoking perspectives on topics that are front of mind in today's world.
The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated a number of existing dynamics in New York's housing market: volatile sales prices across the city, all-time high rent prices, buyers and renters opting for transitioning sections of Brooklyn and Queens, and young professionals finding it difficult to start life on their own. This TIER Talks webinar will discuss market trends affecting those looking to move in or move up to help you navigate your next real estate move, and will examine public policy and advocacy efforts to ensure that fair and affordable housing remains a right, not a privilege.
