! Done with Labor Day slowdown and onto the fast track of fall sales. Interest rates are up, what does the market do? Surely reacts - with 31% down year over year last week, but not for sales above 3M and certainly not for those over 15M - this segment is up 19% driven by ultra-luxury as interest rate effect here is much less of an impact.

I am pleased to present Corcoran's weekly snapshot of Manhattan contracts signed from September 12 to 18, 2026. Below are some key highlights from the week:
* Last week, 158 contracts were signed, up 14% from the prior week as activity rebounded from the typical Labor Day slowdown, but down 31% year-over-year.
* This was Manhattan’s largest annual percentage decline in reported signed contracts since April 2022.
*However, new development sales were comparatively stable. After seven consecutive weeks of annual declines of 15% or more, 21 sponsor contracts were signed, down just 5% year-over-year (a difference of one sale).
* Compared to the same week in 2025, contracts under $3M fell 35%, perhaps reflecting last week's rise in mortgage rates.
In contrast, sales above $3M rose 19% annually, driven in part by a sixfold jump in contracts over $15M, which reached a 14-week high.
* The week's highest-priced contract was PHWEST at The Henry, asking $26.9M ($5,539 PSF), the most expensive condo contract reported north of 72nd on the Upper West Side since October 2024

! Working with diplomatic core in NYC real estate presents its challenges - leases have to be structured in particular way, government of a foreign country dictates the budget, and local landlords are concerned about diplomatic immunity in case something goes wrong. Yet my diplomat clients are some of the most interesting people I get to meet - having lived all over the world, experienced different cultures and still working to make it a better place for all of us. So I push a little harder and do love helping them to find their NYC home. Latest market stats below- read, stay informed and stay in touch!⁠ ⁠
