2021 is off to a strong start for New York real estate: From January 3-9, 223 Manhattan apartment sales were recorded to a whopping aggregate total of $469,273,437, the biggest week since March 2020. There was an overall median price of $1,116,000, and the 94 condo sales came to a median price of $2,112,500, or $1,646 per square foot. The 128 co-op sales came to a median price of $788,000.

The top sale of the past week took place at the Robert A.M. Stern-designed 70 Vestry Street, where a 12th-floor unit owned by Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen sold for $36.8 million. The New York Post broke the news of the sale and noted that the power couple is not saying good-bye to New York - they will be keeping a smaller residence in the building despite building a dream Florida mansion.
