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.

Anne Eisenhower Finds Buyer for Her $35M Southampton Estate

Image
Claverack, the  $35 million  Southampton estate belonging to  Anne Eisenhower (yes, like the president!) has finally found a buyer. Sotheby's Harald Grant, who's listed the property for years now, "confirmed" to the  WSJ  "that the three-story house ... was in contract and due to close before the end of the year." Sadly, Grant stayed mum about the price, but most brokers still think it'll rank as one of the top sales of the year. And seeing how Eisenhower paid  only $5 million  for the place in the '90s, she stands to profit no matter what. In other news, if all this talk about Eisenhower has left you wanting more history, take a look at  this post , which shows how Claverack has changed over the years by Ian Ratner,Curbed ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A historic 19th-century Southampton mansion owned by Anne Eisenhower, a gran...

WHEN IS A COMMITMENT LETTER NOT A BANK COMMITMENT: WHEN THE PURCHASER FORFEITS THE DEPOSIT BECAUSE OF IT

WHEN IS A COMMITMENT LETTER NOT A BANK COMMITMENT: WHEN THE PURCHASER FORFEITS THE DEPOSIT BECAUSE OF IT   All real estate agents and purchasers beware!! In residential real estate transactions where financing is involved and the contract of sale is contingent on the purchaser's ability to obtain financing (of course there are transactions which allow the purchaser to obtain financing that do not provide for a contingency), it is imperative the purchaser and the buyer's agent understand the complexities of the mortgage clause in the contract of sale.   The purchaser has been pre-approved by a lender and the transaction is well on its way to a successful conclusion depending on the application review by the cooperative corporation or condominium board of managers, if applicable. True to her word, the lender issues a commitment within forty-five days of the contract execution. Unfortunately for the purchaser, seller and the real estate agents, the commitment is anyth...
