The number of recorded sales, 1024, was up from the 980 recorded the preceding month.
- The average price of a condo was $2.8 million and the average price of a co-op was $1.3 million, both of which are just slightly down from last month. There were 447 condo sales and 577 co-op sales.
- The number of residential sales was up in the four weeks leading up to September 1, and the aggregate sales total, $2.0 billion, was the same total from the prior month. The building with the most aggregate sales recorded this month was the new Herzog & de Meuron-designed 160 Leroy Street (again), which saw $111 million in sales over 9 closings. One57 came in second place with 3 pricey units that sold for a total of $55 million.
- New development condo prices averaged $2,302/ft2 this month, compared to $1,760/ft2 for non-new development condominium sales. The number of sales was up this month—104, as compared to 96 in the prior month. The average price, $4.7 million, was up slightly from the $4.6 million average the prior month. The aggregate sales total of new developments reached $485 million this month, a substantial increase from last month's $438 million.
