Market summary:
After posting a strong recovery in the 2Q13, New Development sales volume and total transactions remained stable throughout the Third Quarter. Most notably year over year PPSF levels have risen by 15%. This upward trend can be attributed to a rise in the number of Three-Bedroom units sold augmented by a steep increase in PPSF in these units from $1,134 in 3Q12 to $1712 in 3Q13. While PPSF remained fixed from the previous quarter, the median sales price dropped after increasing for three consecutive quarters.
Market up-swings:
Chelsea was the driving force behind New Development growth in Manhattan throughout 3Q13. PPSF and Median price have
undergone substantial appreciation in both a short and long term basis –specifically PPSF in Chelsea have increased by 42% over
the past two years. Also, several notably high price points in Gramercy had a significant upward effect on quarterly increases as two
Three Bedroom units sold for $13.7 Million and $15.1 Million.
Also, a notable trend throughout Manhattan is the continuing return in New Developments in Midtown West. This neighborhood
offered the largest number of transactions and has undergone a 22% appreciation in terms of PPSF over the last two years.
Market down-swings:
The Upper East Side saw a 14.8% decline in PPSF relative to last quarter. With this said, overall prices have appreciated by over 20% since last year. Greenwich Village has offered solid returns in the short and medium term as quarterly PPSF has increased by 4% in 3Q13 continuing a trend which has consisted of a 30% increase in PPSF over the last twelve months.
