NYC Residential Real Estate Luxury Tracking Scoreboard
Apartments and Townhouses under Contract $4 million and above
August 8-14, 2011: 5 Contracts Signed
Normally, an average of 8 contracts is signed at $4 million and above in the second week of August, going back to 2007. There were only 5 contracts signed last week, not surprising when you consider the rollercoaster volatility of the stock market. What this portends for the post- Labor Day real estate environment is anybody’s guess.
Two of the contracts represented big losses on sale. One was a duplex condo at 170 East End, Apartment 10/11B, which was asking $5.75 million, reduced from its original closed price of $6,873,188 in November 2008. The other was a townhouse at 113 East 61st Street, asking $9.5 million, which fell into foreclosure after selling for $11,850,000 in May 2008.
The No. 1 contract was a 3 bedroom, 4 bathroom co-op at 795 Fifth Avenue, Apartment 1207, asking $10.5 million. This Pierre Hotel unit has 49 feet of frontage overlooking Central Park and a small kitchen off the foyer. The apartment needs updating.
