Prices in high-rise Manhattan condos — while still among the priciest in the city — have fallen over the last 12 months, according to CityRealty’s High-Rise Condos Index.
The index, which tracks closing sale prices in Manhattan buildings with 50 or more floors, shows the average price per ft² in 35 sky-high buildings at $2,431 per ft² over the last 12 months, lower than in the same year-long periods in 2017, 2016, and 2015. The average price per ft² in 2017 was $2,689; the year-over-year decline is 10%. Prices were also higher in 2016 when the average price per ft² was $2,500, and in 2014, when it was $2,530. However, prices in the last several months have begun to inch back up.
