The week ending November 7, 2026 included Election Day, when government offices in New York City were closed. As such, fewer Manhattan apartment sales recorded than the previous full week were likely inevitable by default, and the 184 Manhattan apartment sales logged during this time represented a 19 percent week-over-week decline. However, six sales that closed for over $10 million prevented the aggregate dollar amount from experiencing an overly precipitous drop.
These included one sale that closed for over $30 million. Shortly after Penthouse #1, the last sponsor availability at 111 Murray Street, entered contract, its sale of nearly $30.79 million was recorded by the city. This marks a small dip from the last ask of $33.95 million, but was nevertheless the highest-priced sale of the week by just over $4.5 million.

Hudson River waterfront homes command top prices
Sunset and Hudson River views as seen from 290 West Street (SERHANT)
Several of last week's highest-priced sales were for condos on or near the Hudson River waterfront. The penthouse at 111 Murray Street was chief among them, and the highest-priced sales also included homes at The Cortland, One High Line, and 290 West Street. Residents of these buildings can enjoy spectacular sunsets (albeit earlier than some might prefer following the return to Standard Time) and gorgeous river views, as well as close proximity to Hudson River Park as New York City nears peak foliage.
150 Charles Street, a West Village condominium near the Hudson River waterfront
The Hudson River waterfront sales also included a maisonette at 150 Charles Street, which would appear to be Downtown's answer to 220 Central Park South between its historically inspired design, resort-caliber amenities, high-profile residents, and massive price appreciations. Not only was Maisonette #2's $19.5 million closing price the fourth-highest of the week, but this represents a profit of nearly 96 percent (without accounting for inflation). Full details on the biggest appreciators of the week may be found below the top sales.
New development condos dominate dollar volume
Last week, new development sales accounted for 37 of the week's 183 closings. While these comprised only 20 percent of the week's sales by number, their sales volume of $210.5 million made up nearly half of the week's dollar volume. Moreover, new condos sold at a median price of $2,346 per square foot, or 78 percent above resale condos.
Once again, new construction condos designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects (RAMSA) put on a strong showing. Penthouse A at 255 East 77th Street sold for nearly $26.3 million, slightly over ask in the week's second-highest sale overall. Further downtown, Residence #20AW at The Cortland, a brick building whose design pays homage to West Chelsea's industrial history, closed for $19 million in the week's fifth-highest sale.
Residence #20AW was one of two sponsor sales recorded at The Cortland, which was one of several new developments with multiple closings recorded last week. Two sales apiece were recorded at The Greenwich by Rafael Vinoly in the Financial District, The Willow in Gramercy, and 155W68 in Lincoln Center.
Upper West Side showdown: Prewar elegance vs. amenity-packed new construction
The Umbria, #9-10C (Brown Harris Stevens)
Two massively scaled Upper West Side apartments were among the sales recorded last week. At distinguished prewar cooperative The Umbria, duplex Residence #9-10C measures five bedrooms, three and a half baths, and approximately 4,300 square feet. While it has undergone a renovation by renowned designer Muriel Brandolini, this apartment still features the grandly scaled rooms and thoughtful division of space characteristic of prewar living. It sold for $5.2 million in one of the week's top five co-op sales and the thirteenth-highest overall.
The Henry, #PHW (Compass)
Prewar cooperatives like The Umbria have long made up much of the Upper West Side's housing stock, but new residential construction has recently taken shape both around protected historic districts and within them with Landmarks' approval. A notable entrant is The Henry, a new construction condominium designed by RAMSA and offering such amenities as a state-of-the-art fitness center, a half basketball court, an indoor pickleball court, a bowling alley, a club room, a dining room, and a roof terrace with outdoor kitchen and bocce court. Penthouse W, a five-bedroom only a little bit larger than The Umbria duplex at 4,853 square feet, closed for $24.9 million. Not only was this the third-highest sale of the week, but its price of $5,131 per square foot was the highest per square foot of the week and more than four times the price per square foot of The Umbria apartment.
Philanthropist buys Fifth Avenue penthouse; Choreographer Amanda Selwyn buys Soho loft
1050 Fifth Avenue, #PHB (Sotheby's International Realty)
Last week's top co-op sales included a penthouse at post-war building 1050 Fifth Avenue, which closed for an even $8 million, slightly over ask in the week's second-highest co-op sale and eighth-highest overall. Public records list the buyer as philanthropist Elizabeth Sackler, and she is not the first heiress to call the two-bedroom penthouse with a wraparound terrace home. The listing notes that it was once the home of Marion Labau Dickerman, a great-granddaughter of railroad magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt. Additionally, when it came on the market for nearly $10 million in February 2026, the listing reported that it was the second time in 70 years the penthouse had been listed.
Additionally, public records list philanthropists Derek Schrier and Cecily Cameron as the buyers of a $7.5 million condo at 250 West Street. This 2015 building's aluminum-framed facade and oversized, divided light windows offer a modern take on Tribeca's industrial past, and public records show that they are only the third owners of the recently renovated, never lived in three-bedroom home.
Also of note, public records list choreographer Amanda Selwyn as the buyer of a full-floor Soho loft that closed for just over $4 million. The store building was completed in 1872, and original details like exposed brick and ceiling beams are still on display after an extensive renovation. The closing was recorded days before Amanda Selwyn Dance Theatre is to present an immersive preview of Exposed, an evening-length work set to debut at the BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center in March 2027.

Biggest profits
(top-bottom) The Alwyn Court (CityRealty); Residence #3C (Douglas Elliman)
Last week, approximately 62 percent of resale Manhattan apartments appreciated in value. These included a one-bedroom home at The Alwyn Court, a French Renaissance-style cooperative distinguished by its ornate terra cotta facade with carvings of cherubs, flowers, plants, and animals that include fire-breathing crowned salamanders above the doorway. Even as glassy supertalls have risen around it to an extent that the street is now known as Billionaires' Row, nothing has come along to supplant The Alwyn Court in terms of ornamentation.
Behind this elaborate facade, Residence #3C sold for nearly $1.3 million, or 39 percent above the previous sale in January 2024. Features include a living room with a decorative fireplace, a formal dining room with a built-in hutch, a windowed kitchen, and a large bedroom with generous closet space.
