The luxury Manhattan real estate market came roaring back with 27 signed contracts last week, making 3 out of the last 4 weeks above the benchmark range. Let’s hope the one week prior dip to 15 was just an outlier! Condos outsold co-ops 23 to 3. 1 townhouse was sold. Half of the apartments sold were new developments. Downtown led the market with 12 contracts. The average discount from asking price was 5% and the average number of days on the market was 555.

Behind the numbers: More developers and resale sellers are adapting to the new market. The compelling new prices are causing buyers to move forward.
