Today, the veteran Manhattan superstar from Sotheby's, Mara Flash Blum, sits down with Noah and John from UrbanDigs to talk about today's market and what she's seeing from the front lines. Mara has traded every kind of market, and she leans on that experience to break down the current market shift.
