Manhattan Sales:
- From May 29-June 4, 2022, $689.6 million worth of transactions across 312 condo, condop, and cooperative deals were recorded
- 145 condo sales came to a median price of $1,950,000 ($1,859 per square foot)

- 161 co-op sales came to a median price of $911,000
In this article:
While sales volume remains historically strong, May was the first time since prior to the pandemic that the number of sales were down year-over-year. May 2022 saw 1,262 deals recorded, just below May 2021 which saw 1,279 deals recorded. However, thanks to the booming condo market, especially of the Upper East Side super-luxury variety, the average price paid for an apartment is 23% higher year-over, jumping from $1.75 million in 2021 to $2.16 million this past month.
High-priced sales at One57, 432 Park Avenue, and 56 Leonard Street made the past week another good one for architecturally adventurous supertalls in hip neighborhoods. However, the top sale by far took place in a Rosario Candela-designed cooperative on the Upper East Side. An apartment in the highly selective building closed for $25,000,000.

The top condo sale and second-highest overall sale was a loft apartment in The American Express Carriage House in Tribeca. It closed for $15,000,000, or $1 million below the last asking price of $16 million when it entered contract in March 2022. The building has come a long way from its original use as stables, and this particular unit was designed by AD100 designer Robert Stilin.
