Buying a home can be especially challenging when your income doesn’t come from a traditional 9-to-5 job.

Now, a new NYC initiative is helping freelancers, contractors, creatives, and other self-employed workers navigate the path to homeownership.

Through the Pathways to Homeownership for Gig Workers program, participants can get help with:

✨ Documenting non-traditional income
🏦 Connecting with lenders
💰 Exploring down payment assistance
📋 Understanding the mortgage process
🏠 Building long-term financial stability through homeownership

The program is supported by a $600,000 Airbnb grant over three years* And the results are already showing: 45 NYC households became first-time homeowners in the first seven months of 2026, while another 32 received mortgage pre-approvals.

If you’re self-employed or earn income through the gig economy, don’t assume you can’t qualify for a mortgage. Your path to homeownership may simply look different.

If you walked down Steinway Street recently, you probably noticed something… a little unusual.

A HUGE boulder randomly appeared on the sidewalk, seemingly overnight, and naturally, Astoria had questions. 👀

Where did it come from?
Who put it there?
And, most importantly… why?

The mysterious boulder quickly became an unofficial Astoria landmark, with locals giving it a name and plenty of theories about its origins.

But just as suddenly as it appeared… Dan is gone.😭

According to local reports, the boulder was removed from Steinway Street on October 1.

Astoria really gave us a full boulder saga and honestly, we kind of loved every minute of it. 😂

Did you see Dan before he disappeared? And did it hot there? 🪨👇

A small change that could make a BIG difference for people spending time in our neighborhoods.
NYC has begun installing 17 new free public bathrooms across the five boroughs, and four of them are coming to Queens, including two locations in Astoria:

📍 Astoria Blvd South & 31st St
📍 Northern Blvd & 31st St
📍 Northern Blvd & 54th St
📍 34th Ave & 64th St

The new modular bathrooms will be free, ADA accessible and touchless, with running water, flushing toilets, climate control and baby-changing stations. They’ll be open daily from 7 AM–10 PM.

For a neighborhood like Astoria, where people are constantly walking, shopping, dining, commuting and spending time outdoors having reliable public restrooms can make public spaces more accessible and family-friendly.

The city says this is part of a $4 million, one-year pilot program, with the goal of learning where and how public bathrooms can best serve New Yorkers.
What do you think, Astoria? 👇

Would you like to see more permanent public bathrooms in our parks and public spaces?

If you’re thinking about buying a home, you may have heard that VantageScore 4.0 is now approved for use in mortgage lending.

So… what does that actually mean for homebuyers? 👇

💳 A newer way to evaluate credit

VantageScore 4.0 is a newer credit scoring model designed to give lenders a more complete picture of a borrower’s creditworthiness.

It can incorporate additional information, including trended credit data and on-time rent payment history, which may help accurately score more consumers.

🏠 What’s changing?

Fannie Mae has announced that approved lenders participating in its initial rollout may now use VantageScore 4.0 when originating and delivering new loans.

The modernization effort also includes the planned future use of FICO® Score 10T.

⚠️ But don’t assume this means mortgage approval is now easier.

Your credit score still matters, and lenders will continue to look at your overall financial profile, including income, debt, assets, payment history and other factors.

💡 The takeaway for buyers:

If you’ve been waiting to buy because you’re concerned about your credit score, this is worth paying attention to.

A newer scoring model could give some borrowers a more complete representation of their credit history, but your best move is still to prepare early.

In New York City, sometimes the most expensive thing about owning a car isn’t the car, it’s where you put it.
Parking spaces in NYC can sell for six figures, especially in neighborhoods where parking is scarce and real estate is at a premium. And if you’re considering BUYING a parking spot, there’s more to think about than just the purchase price.

Here are a few things buyers should consider:

💰 1. The purchase price
Compare the cost of buying the spot with what you would pay to rent a garage over the long term.

🏢 2. Maintenance & common charges
A $250K parking space may still come with monthly maintenance, taxes, or other building fees.

📍 3. Location matters
A parking spot in Manhattan or a Queens where street parking is extremely difficult can have a very different value than one in an area with easier parking.

📜 4. What exactly are you buying?
Is it deeded real estate, a limited common element, or a space tied to a specific apartment? The legal structure matters.

🏠 5. Can you sell or rent it separately?
Some buildings have restrictions on who can purchase or use a parking space, so check the rules before assuming it’s an investment.

📈 6. Think about resale value
Parking can be a major selling point for a future buyerbut only if there is continued demand for it in that location.

🚘 7. Consider your lifestyle
If you drive every day and plan to stay for many years, owning a spot may provide convenience and predictability. If you rarely drive, the numbers may look very different.

In NYC, even a parking spot can be real estate. 🏙️
Would you spend $250,000 for a guaranteed parking spot? 👇

NYC has released its first-ever Fair Housing Growth Strategy,?and the headline number is significant: the City estimates that approximately 700,000 new homes are needed over the next decade.

The draft strategy also proposes five-year housing production targets for every Community District.

Queens is already a major part of the city’s housing-growth conversation — particularly Long Island City, where Community District 2 has a proposed target of approximately 9,100 homes over five years. The recently approved OneLIC plan also creates capacity for roughly 15,000 additional homes over a longer period.

Importantly, these Community District targets are non-binding goals, not construction mandates. What actually gets built will depend on zoning, approvals, financing, infrastructure and market conditions.

For Queens homeowners, buyers, renters, investors and developers, this is a report worth watching.

What neighborhood in Queens do you think will see the biggest impact from NYC’s housing-growth strategy? 👇
