If some of these units were in a different area of Queens, I am sure they would not attract the same kind of attention.

Lack of new construction, low mortgage interest rates and few open houses due to fears of Covid 19, have pushed this market into the stratosphere, however the main reason is the uniqueness of the buildings in the historic district of Jackson Heights and the easy access to express trains.
Whichever the case, this market can only go one way and that is upwards.
