NYC Residential Real Estate Luxury Tracking Scoreboard
Apartments and Townhouses under Contract $4 million and above
May 9-15, 2011: 17 Contracts Signed

This week the market bounced back to 17 sales from the prior week's lull of 9. As usual, condos outsold co-ops 2-1. It was the biggest week in townhouse sales in 2011. Five houses sold ranging from $5.35 million to $24.5 million in asking prices. All were at least 20' wide. Since the beginning of the year, 45 houses have gone to contract at asking prices of $4 million and up with an average asking price of $1,739/sq.ft.

The No. 1 sale of the week goes to 870 Park Avenue, a 25' wide townhouse, asking $24,500,000. This is a modern house with 11,875 sq.ft that was on the market for over three years, originally listed at $33 million. It was designed by Robert A.M. Stern, the Dean of Yale School of Architecture , and the architect for 15 Central Park West, the most expensive condo building in New York. It is an unusual property because there are few townhouses on Park Avenue, and the building has a modern facade. Most townhouses in New York have period architecture and many are located in areas protected by the New York City Landmark Commission.
