Report on Contracts Signed
NYC Residential Properties
$4 Million and Above

17 Contracts Signed

There were 17 sales last week, the 7th straight week that the total price of contracts signed at $4 million and above has exceeded $100 million. Since the beginning of the year, the luxury sector has recorded 143 contracts signed, totaling over $1.1 billion. Other trends: condos outselling co-ops 2.5 to 1 and Downtown remains the most popular luxury area with 20% more contracts signed than the Upper East Side.

The No. 1 contract of the week is the most expensive apartment to sell on a side street on the Upper East Side in 2012: apartment 8/9 at 39 East 79th Street, asking $24 million. This co-op almost immediately went into contract after listing. The unit is two floors put together, spanning over 9000 square feet, with 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, an enormous kitchen, and a huge entertaining space that includes a billiards room and an exercise room.

The No.2 contract was apartment 5B at 400 West 12th Street, asking $12 million. This is a 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom unit with 2,370 square feet in the Superior Ink, the most expensive condo building downtown. The unit, with Hudson River views and a 1,500 square foot landscaped terrace, had been on the market since October 2010. The Superior Ink Condo was designed by Robert A.M. Stern, the same architect who designed 15 Central Park West, the most expensive building in New York.
