Manhattan Market-wide Trends:
- Following a lower-performing August than expected, pricing in the Manhattan market came back strong in September. The increase in prices is largely due to an increase in the number of sales over $3M, which more than doubled compared to last month and was up 40% versus last year.
- For the first time since January, September saw year-over-year gains in contracts signed in both the condo and the co-op markets.
- Inventory continues to replenish with the largest number of new listings since May 2012 and the largest annual increase in total listings in over five years.
- Average discount from asking price is up slightly for both condos and co-ops, but smaller than the discounts given a year ago.
