In the third quarter, the median price of a Manhattan apartment reached a record high of $995,000, an 11% gain from the prior year. Fewer high-end resale closings brought the average apartment price down from the second quarter, but at $1,722,955 was still 5% higher than the third quarter of 2014. While high-end resale closings were down, overall there were 9% more apartments sold than in 2014’s third quarter. A jump in new development closings helped fuel this increase.

The holiday season is here and it's time to start thinking about tipping for services in our apartment buildings. For those living in Manhattan, holiday tipping is the norm and can seem endless. While it's important to be generous, it's also important to be realistic about what you can afford. Especially in our current economic climate. Some Manhattan apartment buildings pool tips so the workers receive one lump sum. Most leave it up to the individual resident. I hope you will find the … (0 comments)

real estate: 2nd Quarter 2009 Manhattan Sales Market Report
- 07/04/09 02:04 AM
Second-quarter sales prices fell nearly 20% in a year, while sales volumes drop like stones. The number of months on the market now doubles the decade's average. The Manhattan residential real estate market showed little sign of recovery during the second quarter. Some of the reports attributed the second-quarter price drop-off to sales back in early 2008 of high-priced units at The Plaza and 15 Central Park West. Some apartments at those luxury buildings sold for as much as $4,000 per square foot in the second quarter of last year. Greg Heym, chief economist at Halstead Property, said "adding that this year's … (0 comments)

- 12/06/08 04:39 AM
The holiday season is here and it's time to start thinking about tipping for services in our apartment buildings. For those living in Manhattan, holiday tipping is the norm and can seem endless. While it's important to be generous, it's also important to be realistic about what you can afford. Especially in our current economic climate. Tips in decent class buildings (not Park and Fifth Avenues) run between $20 and $300, and it's not uncommon for supers to accumulate well into the five figures. Porters and doormen see anywhere between $2,000 and $10,000, depending on the size of the … (0 comments)

real estate: Is The Manhattan Real Estate Market Holding Steady?
- 06/15/08 04:27 AM
As a real estate agent in Manhattan, people often tell me they are sorry that things are so bad in real estate. While I agree with that sentiment for many of my fellow brokers in hard hit areas across the country, the first quarter of 2008 in Manhattan did not show an ailing market at all. To the contrary, Manhattan real estate actually dramatically increased in value during that time. The luxury market played a large role in increasing the value of the real estate market. The sales from those apartments have continued to aide the market, even as the national … (0 comments)
The Manhattan apartment market rebounded in the first quarter, as both prices and the number of sales rose for resale apartments compared to a year ago. The average resale price rose 5% to $1,561,911—its highest level since the second quarter of 2015. A new record was set for the resale median price, which at $955,000 was 3% higher than 2016’s first quarter. There were 1,795 resale closings reported in the first quarter, which was 5% more than a year ago.
