459 West 18th Street, PH1 (Brown Harris Stevens)
Between rising interest rates and years of data affected by the pandemic, real estate trends have gotten harder to predict in recent years. However, the most recent new development report from Marketproof found that for five weeks in a row, contract volume is above pre-pandemic averages (as compared to 2015-2019). The abbreviated work week had an impact here, just as with last week's sales, but Manhattan new developments put on an especially impressive showing, accounting for over 50% of the new development contracts in the past week.
But for all the success new development condos are having, listings in older buildings have to go to greater lengths to set themselves apart. As February 2023 draws to a close, a total of 250 sales listings throughout New York experienced price reductions. A selection of notable homes may be found below.
