Real estate agents are being bombarded with calls this morning from panicked New Yorkers desperate to flee after Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral victory last night.
Two key destinations are already emerging: New York’s affluent suburbs and Republican strongholds across the Sunbelt.
Agents from Westchester and Greenwich to Florida, Texas, and the Carolinas say they’re seeing a surge in calls from city residents desperate to relocate - some within commuting distance, while others looking to get as far away as they can.
'We are seeing interest from New York City intensify because of the election,' Dina Goldentayer, a Douglas Elliman agent in Florida, told the Daily Mail.
'The city's area codes 917 and 212 are popping up now almost as much as they did at the height of the Covid pandemic.'
'Most of the calls are from buyers, many Wall Street execs, looking in the $20 million to $30 million range. Specifically for waterfront houses or oceanfront condos.'
Goldentayer — who said she’s being asked to look mainly in Miami Beach, Bal Harbour, Golden Beach, Coconut Grove and Coral Gables — noted that 212 remains the original Manhattan area code, long considered a status symbol among established New Yorkers.

Excellent. Just stay out of Utah, Wyoming, Idaho area.
I doubt the actual number wanting to leave is more than a few hundred.
Dear Gov. Hochul...Why aren’t you out there celebrating your endorsement of a communist?
In a couple of years, the cartels will probably have a new line of business: smuggling refugees OUT of NYC.
Getting their money out is going to be harder. I met a man once, an Indian immigrant (legal), who had been trapped in India by the inability to move assets out of the country. He had converted everything he owned to precious stones ... and he and his family swallowed them on the way to the airport. This was long before airport X-ray checkpoints, although I don’t know if an airport metal detector would pick that up. Anyhow, they got their assets out and retrieved them over the next few days in the time honored way. They were not rich, btw; just comfortably middle or upper middle class.
When they decide to bail out, NBA players are going to have a bigger problem with bling.
I don’t believe this.
People that panic like this don’t actually do anything other than get the momentary vapors and then go back to their usual nonsense.
Geez, we made million bucks selling the place. Wait, what is this 10% exit fee?
Florida is closed!
Maybe they should have voted republican for more years.
Or maybe they should have just voted, period.
“Start spreading the news....”
“”””I doubt the actual number wanting to leave is more than a few hundred.”””
A few hundred who can afford a $20-30 million dollar house is a significant amount of taxes leaving.
I think more than a few hundred WANT TO leave. There may be only a few hundred that are trying to leave immediately.
Based on the locations mentioned the people getting out now are pretty high income. For example “The median home sale price in Coral Gables is approximately $1.26 million to $1.4 million”.
...and Texas, Tenessee, Ohio, Florida, and outstate Michigan to the list. Heck, just keep your Leftist butts on the East coast.
Those few hundred would cost them $300-500 million in income tax revenue alone.
Stay out of Tennessee.
They will bring their Liberal Mentality with them and turn Red States into
Cesspools like NY.
I heard Commie Hamas lovers lil speech last night, basically he is going to destroy landlords, what he does is he bunches them ALL together with billionaires who own buildings and wants to destroy them all. What that greased up commie doesnt understand is that many landlords have had these buildings for 30, 40 yrs, many of them rely on the rent they receive to pay their own bills, but Mamdani wants to destroy that because he considers all landlords to be evil. Just watch what happens when these commie idiots who voted for him dont get what he promised, they are going to be waiting with their hands out and they receive NOTHING
They all endorse the election spread-out over months to maximize the cheating.
They all endorse his freebies which now are possibly unworkable but, no biggie, they'll get there.
Thanks to moron females and tribesmen who made this all possible.
Thanks to all the Rats and your phony virtue signalling to bring the cancer of the Third World into our country.
Lots of thanks to go around.
Side note: spell check made me spell Tennesse wrong.😄
He did run on the platform of heavily taxing white people. I’d believe him if I were there,
Welcome to Texas. NOW GO HOME!
