Manhattan Trends:
- In Manhattan, contract activity in August dropped year-over-year, as sales of condos and co-ops both fell.
- Pricing metrics for condos and co-ops saw mixed results in August, as average sale price increased by double digits for each, while median sale price declined for co-ops, but increased for condos.
- Similarly, price per square foot for condos saw a rise in pricing – while co-ops saw a slight drop in pricing.
- For condos, an increase in inventory was met by a surprisingly large reduction in days on market. Meanwhile, co-ops saw both days on market and inventory increase.
