NYC Residential Real Estate Luxury Tracking Scoreboard
Apartments and Townhouses under Contract $4 million and above
December 26, 2011 - January 1, 2012: 7 Contracts Signed
Seven contracts were signed last week, bringing the total for 2011 to 572 contracts at $4 million and above. It was the best year in luxury sales since 2007, highlighted by some record breakers. The most expensive residence ever sold in New York went to Ekaterina Rybolovleva, a 22-year-old student from Russia, who paid $88 million for a penthouse at 15 Central Park West, more than twice the price of the most expensive apartment sold in 2010. Rybolovleva, who attends an undisclosed U.S. university, is the daughter of fertilizer mogul Dmitry Rybololev, who was
ranked by Forbes as the 93rd richest man in the world with an estimated $9.5 billion. The No.2 apartment sale of the year was at The Plaza condo for $48 million to Russian composer Igor Krutoy.
The top of the 2011 market was stronger than 2010, with 139 residential properties closing at prices of $10 million or more, totaling over $2.2 billion in sales, as opposed to 129 in 2010, totaling $2.04 billion.
Last week, the No. 1 contract was apartment 11A at 19 East 72nd Street, asking $17 million. This is a 10-room co-op with 3 bedrooms, library, 2 working fireplaces, and 5.5 baths.
The No. 2 sale was a 25' wide townhouse at 16 East 10th Street asking $13 million. The house needs a complete renovation.
