Manhattan’s real estate market had a big comeback in late 2024! Lower prices, falling mortgage rates, and a strong economy brought buyers back, with signed contracts jumping 22% compared to last year. Sales were up 3%, while fewer homes for sale and faster sales pushed listings to their lowest level in a decade.

With prices leveling off and buyer confidence growing, the market is set for a strong start in 2025.

This sale was located in the heart of Greenwich Village near Washington Square Park. A truly handsome 3 bedroom 2.5 bath loft with stunning views of a mews, MacDougal Alley. (The buildings in the Alley were once stables and carriage houses built just behind the gilded age. Some notable figures who owned there were Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, founder of the Whitney museum of American art, the painter Jackson Po***ck and sculptor Isamu Noguchi.) We sold this terrific prewar loft with 11’ ceilings and cozy fireplace for $5.3M in 2018.

Here’s what happened during the Fourth Quarter 2020 in Manhattan:
 
·       Manhattan ended 2020 with the market showing signs of stabilization and resilience.  In Q4 2020, closings grew versus the previous two quarters, signed contracts returned to pre-COVID levels, and inventory growth slowed.
 
·       Deal activity increased significantly in Q4 2020, seen in both the annual gain in signed contracts and quarterly growth in closings. Year-over-year, contracts signed rose 8%.  Closings rose 18% versus last quarter thanks to the increase in contract activity after reopening.
 
·       Increased inventory is still one of the most significant headwinds facing the Manhattan market’s broader recovery.  Supply remains much higher than Q4 2019 due to the surge in new listings upon reopening.  Available inventory is up 36% year-over-year to 9,964 units.
 
·       In Q4 2020, over 90% of closings were for deals inked since March, giving a clearer picture of COVID-driven price trends and buyer preferences.  In Q4, value-seeking buyers closed on larger apartments but prioritized space and layout over building and location.

Double height heaven! We sold two adjacent apartments with the opportunity for the buyer to combine them on a landmarked upper west side block and I’m still thinking about this spectacular artist’s window. The combination sold for $3.4M in 2018 🙌🏼

One of the most expensive sales this month for around $40M was at one of my FAVORITE buildings in the West Village, 150 Charles Street. These photos are from a memorable sale we did in the building with the most elegantly landscaped terrace. This 4 bedroom duplex sold for $15M. Overlooking the Hudson River and park, the 150 Charles Street condominium goes down in luxury market history as it sold out 90 units off of floor plans alone in 2013 🤯

I love watching the behind the scenes of new developments in the city. The amount of detail that goes into each apartment is at a height where nothing is overlooked. It’s a beautiful thing to see how an idea can come into fruition. Architecture, construction, interior design, art, lighting, decor, everything is calculated to make the residents feel ultimately at home.
