Some listings mention a "motivated seller," and this can come across as a red flag to some potential buyers who might wonder if something is wrong with the place. This is likely not a reference to any flaw in the apartment - on the contrary, some units have been newly spruced up to attract more buyers. Rather, the phrase refers to a seller who is eager to upgrade to a larger space or leave New York altogether. To speed up the process, these sellers are often willing to sell the property below market value (think 10 to 30 percent below) or offer favorable terms like no money down or financing.
