At the same time, a total of 16 contracts were signed at $4 million and above from October 19-25. Olshan Realty's market report notes that this is only two more than last week's number, but the total asking price sales volume perked up to $135,242,000.
New York City townhouses have enjoyed renewed appreciation of late, which came through in this week's contracts: Three of the contracts were for townhouses, and a Greenwich Village townhouse took the top spot with an asking price of $28.5 million. Listing broker Jeremy Stein of Sotheby's International Realty did not comment on the buyer, but he did mention that it sold in a three-way bidding war.
The top apartment contract of the past week was for an Upper East Side co-op with five bedrooms, five baths, and three private terraces. The unit had experienced price reductions since it was originally listed for $24.9 million in April 2019; nevertheless, the asking price of $15.45 million was good enough for the second-highest contract.
