Manhattan's luxury market is heating up. 36 contracts signed last week at $4M+ — that's 7 more than the week before. Condos are leading the charge (25 vs. 9 co-ops), with buyers clearly favoring new, flexible ownership. The upper end of NYC real estate isn't slowing down.

Manhattan’s luxury market continues to show resilience. Last week, 34 contracts were signed at $4M+, outpacing the same period in 2023, 2024, and 2025 — another signal that demand remains active at the high end.

Downtown claimed the top two deals of the week and continues to lead year-to-date, outselling the Upper East Side 230 to 162, with the Upper West Side also showing strength. Condos remained the dominant product type, outselling co-ops 21 to 8.

Even with slightly fewer contracts week-over-week, the broader story is continued momentum — particularly in prime Downtown product.

Curious what these shifts could mean for pricing and opportunities in today’s market? Let’s connect.

Trophy properties continue to drive Manhattan’s luxury market 🏆

During the shortened Passover–Easter week, 31 contracts were signed at $4M+, including 9 trophy properties above $10M, all located downtown. This demonstrates that demand for best-in-class residences remains strong even in a shorter trading week.

Top deals of the week:

1. 105–107 Bank Street | $75M | 6 beds, 8 baths + 2 powder rooms | 13,000 sf

2. 175 Fifth Avenue, 21st Floor (Flatiron Building) | $58.5M | 5 beds, 5.5 baths | 7,408 sf

These standout transactions highlight the continued strength of Manhattan’s top-tier residential market.

The luxury market continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience. For the second week in a row, activity has remained steady despite ongoing headwinds - including geopolitical tensions, rising mortgage rates, and volatility in the stock market.

Notably, the first quarter of Manhattan’s luxury real estate market is currently tracking as the 4th strongest in the past decade, reinforcing long-term confidence in prime assets.

We’re proud to share that we’re back in the Olshan Report.

A new lunar cycle begins, and the Year of the Fire Horse is a reminder that clarity + action is a powerful combination.

In real estate, timing is leverage. Preparation creates confidence. The right move, at the right moment, changes everything.
