In the News Luxury New York Deals Are Finally Moving New York’s high-end real estate market continues to offer a break in the clouds: The week ending November 15 saw more luxury contracts signed than any other week since early March. Twenty-two properties closed at or above $4 million—including three townhouses, five co-ops, and 14 condominiums—for a total of $188.5 million, according to a report by industry insider Donna Olshan. In fact, more contracts in the $4 million-plus range were signed in the last four weeks than the same period in 2019 (72 compared to 64). The top sale was a $35 million duplex penthouse at the Benson, a Peter Pennoyer–designed building under construction on the Upper East Side. Overall, the market is still lackluster, though: In the third quarter, luxury sales in Manhattan were down almost 50% over the same period last year, according to a report by Douglas Elliman.
