“We are doing many deals with multiple offers and  bidding wars on all Bronx deals and there are some first time buyers who are really stepping up,” said Jungreis who said many of the new buyers are from Brooklyn and Manhattan. “They see the Bronx as a viable alternative to get a better cash return and of course the 1031 market contributes to the resurgence.”
