Manhattan Annual 2021 Market Review - December 24, 2021


2021 Year-End Report Manhattan Luxury Market Update


The Luxury Market was on fire in 2021! 

1,877 Contracts were signed at $4 million and above, totaling $15,912,375,308 which is a record-shattering number going back to the early 2000s. It is almost three times the number of transactions in 2020 and double the number in 2019. 

The totals for signed contracts and overall volume are about 30% higher than the highest years of 2013-2015. 

The biggest pandemic trend was to go for bigger places! Size was very important more than ever! In 2020-2021, the average size of Lux condo deals was larger than 2,900 square feet, which is about 5% larger than the previous 7 years. 

Size was very important in townhouses as well. There were 212 contracts signed in 2021. Way more than the record of 153 transactions in 2014. 

The $10M and higher lux property market had 400 contracts signed in 2021, which is extremely higher than the record 270 transactions in 2014. The majority of these properties had over 4,300 square feet. 

Negotiability changed significantly as the year went on, shrinking the difference between asking prices and closed prices.

Design Revolution in New York City's Chelsea

Image
A design revolution in New York City is taking place, as the Chelsea neighborhood transforms from a derelict wasteland to a thriving nexus of art and architecture. The Hotel Americano, the first U.S. outpost of the splashy Mexican hotel chain Grupo Habita, recently materialized on Manhattan’s West 27th Street. It’s situated between 10th and 11th Avenues, at the northern frontier of the Chelsea art district, in the middle of a block best known for its cacophonous, warehouse-scale nightclubs. Why, you might wonder, would anyone want to build a hotel here? But the unpromising appearance of the location is part of the allure. “It’s gritty,” says owner Carlos Couturier, “and I like that grittiness. It feels like what the Meatpacking District was ten years ago. Very authentic.” Yes, Way-West-27th is authentic—some of the nearest residents are in a cluster of city-owned housing projects—but here, as elsewhere in Manhattan, grit is an endangered species. Just down the block from the

Legal Line Question of the Week: Transfer Taxes and Grossed up Consideration

Image
Legal Line Question of the Week - REBNY Transfer Taxes and Grossed up Consideration I represent the prospective purchaser of a new construction condominium  unit. In speaking with the sales office for the sponsor, I was informed that  my purchaser is responsible for paying both the New York City and  New York State transfer taxes.  I thought that the obligation to pay transfer  taxes was the  r esponsibility of the seller.  Can you please explain? Generally, when real property (or a co-op apartment) is sold in New York  City, the seller is responsible for paying both the New York State and  New York City transfer taxes.  In residential real estate transactions  where the purchase price is greater than $500,000, the New York City  transfer tax equals 1.425% of the purchase price (and where the purchase  price is $500,000 or below, the New York City transfer tax is 1% of the  purchase price).  The New York State transfer tax is .4% of the purchase  price.
