If you’ve been:
Searching Compass late at night wondering what $1.5-2M buys outside the city or which City locations you can afford more space in 🏡
Wondering which commuter towns have walkable downtowns, great schools, and express trains 🚆
Trying to figure out how to balance space, community, and convenience 👶
—you’ll get answers directly from experienced Compass NYC agents and suburban relocation experts who live and work in these markets every day.
This one-of-a-kind collaboration brings together some of Compass’ most trusted city and suburban specialists:

Together, they’ll share insider insights on:
What are your options to find more space in NYC

How to time your sale or purchase for maximum return
What’s really changed in the 2025 market—from mortgage rates to bidding wars
Forget the PowerPoint. This is a kid-friendly morning where you can connect with agents who understand the emotional side of the move—and the logistics that make it happen.
