Throughout the year, there was much speculation that the real estate market was on a decline, but according to CityRealty’s annual Manhattan Year-End Report, ultra-high-end sales continue to keep the market strong. On par with 2018’s 228 sales, this year saw 221 sales at $10 million or more, totaling $4.6 billion, up from last year’s $4.2 billion. As CityRealty tells us, this is “largely due to big-ticket purchases near the southern end of Central Park, most notably at 220 Central Park South,” which accounts for one-third of that total, as well as a glut of new development condos coming online.

The L train shutdown may be canceled, but don’t let Cuomo’s Superman tactics trick you into thinking you’ll get off unscathed. Even without a full 15-month shutdown, there will be a slew of headaches and, like beer company Blue Point Brewing Company says, “who knows what will happen next?!” And when in doubt, an adult beverage can help soften the blow, which is why Blue Point developed its new “What the L?” brew, complete with a very Williamsburg-esque label created by local graphic designer and subway artist Winston Tseng.

CityRealty’s new 2018 year-end market report reveals trends in Manhattan real estate including a notable drop in transaction volume and a decline in condo sales prices after 2017’s roaring gains. Co-ops showed marginal gains in 2018. The New York Times refers to the report and quotes Jonathan J. Miller of Manhattan’s Miller Samuel appraisal firm: “Sales are not low–they are just not unusually high. It’s like we came off the autobahn: It feels very slow relative to the last three to four years, but historically it’s not.” See a few highlights from the report, below.
