A total of 17 contracts signed were for condominiums (with an average ask of $6.2 million), two were for co-ops ($5.6 million) and four were for townhouses ($7.2 million). The contracts for townhouses followed three straight weeks of no townhouse sales, according to the report.

 

The top contract signed was for a brownstone at 311 West 90th Street. The asking price was $12.2 million, a reduction of the original asking price of $13.9 million. The six-story townhouse spans 6,550 square feet and features five bedrooms and five bathrooms.

The average discount from original ask to final asking price during the week of Oct. 24 through Oct. 30 was 7 percent, Olshan Realty reported. The total weekly asking price sales volume was $146.9 million, and average days on market was 381.

 

Although the number of contracts signed represents the highest total since early August, it lags behind this time last year when 28 contracts were inked. \[Olshan\] (http://olshan.com/marketreport.php)Miriam Hall
