From June 15-21, 2026, 224 residential contracts were signed in Manhattan. This is a marked week over week decline in both the number of contracts and the aggregate dollar amount. However, this is still ten more contracts than were signed on the same week in 2025, and likelier to indicate an abbreviated business week due to the Juneteenth holiday than a market slowdown. Contracts were almost evenly split between condos and co-ops, and the week was marked by trophy deals in buildings with rare availabilities.

Upper East Side mansion leads the pack
165 East 65th Street, #TH (Compass)
The top contract of the week was for 165 East 64th Street, an Upper East Side townhouse asking $18.5 million. Charlie Attias of Compass represented the seller, who is listed as an LLC in public records that note that they paid $6.75 million for it in September 2024. This would make for a generous profit; however, it does not account for a gut renovation and expansion.
The house has six bedrooms, five full baths, three powder rooms, and three private outdoor spaces. Enhancements include an elevator to connect all levels, radiant heated flooring throughout, snow-melt systems in private outdoor space, a basement with home gym and dog wash station, a chef's kitchen, a parlor floor with garden views and wet bar, a full-floor primary suite with private terrace and spa-like bath, and a roof terrace with kitchenette.
High-priced contracts in coveted Downtown neighborhoods

The week's top Downtown contracts took place in two of Manhattan's most in-demand and expensive neighborhoods. The penthouse at 224 Mulberry Street is one of only six units in the building, and was asking $17.5 million in the week's top apartment contract and second-highest overall; as impressive as that is, the LLC-identified seller will take a loss, having bought it from the sponsor for $21 million in December 2015. The four-bedroom, 5,656-square-foot duplex has a total of 985 square feet across four private terraces, and the asking price includes the penthouse, two deeded parking spaces, and a keyed storage room. Lauren Muss of Douglas Elliman represented the seller.
A short distance away, Residence #10B at The New Museum Building was asking $11.75 million in the week's fourth-highest contract overall. Public records show that the seller, who was represented by Christopher Franklin of Brown Harris Stevens, purchased the three-bedroom loft for $9.55 million in December 2021. They made the purchase with an LLC, and the buyer has not been identified, but past residents of The New Museum Building have included media mogul Arianna Huffington and musician Jon Bon Jovi. Additionally, public records show that former Bumble executive Selby Drummond recently sold an apartment in the building.
The New Museum Building
Downtown neighborhoods like Nolita, Soho, and Noho are highly attractive because of their beautiful prewar architecture, rich artistic histories, and robust dining and retail scenes. Scarcity is one reason for high real estate prices, but new Downtown housing is on the horizon. In July 2025, the Landmarks Preservation Commission approved modifications to the store building at 43 Bleecker Street in preparation for a residential conversion. More recently, they also approved plans to convert 26 Bleecker Street, the former Planned Parenthood headquarters, to a 15-unit luxury condominium. A hearing for a modified design for 277 Canal Street is scheduled for Tuesday, June 23, but this will be rentals with an affordable component.
Notable contracts on Billionaires' Row
252 East 57th Street, #60A (Compass)
The top Midtown contract of the week was for Residence #60A at 252 East 57th Street, which was asking $9.8 million in the week's fifth-highest overall. Lynne Mazin of Compass represented the seller of the high-floor four-bedroom with a private terrace overlooking views of the Manhattan skyline and Central Park. Inside, the apartment was curated by David Scott Interiors to feature a living room with fireplace and custom lighting, a library/family room with wet bar and custom shelving, a designer kitchen, and an enormous primary suite with two dressing rooms and a spa-inspired bath.
Several blocks west of 252 East 57th Street, two contracts were signed at Parc Beaufort, the recently launched condo conversion of The Beaufort, a 1908 artists' studio building at 140 West 57th Street. These included a penthouse with a private terrace and historic bay window; all newly created apartments at Parc Beaufort feature interiors by Stephen Sill Associates and kitchens with custom cabinetry and premium appliance packages. Public availabilities range from a one-bedroom for $1.175 million to a three-bedroom for $4.55 million.

Once-in-a-lifetime listings
Shortly after socialite Sunny von Bulow's childhood home at 990 Fifth Avenue entered contract for the first time in nearly 100 years, another rare turnover took place on upper Fifth Avenue: Penthouse B at 1050 Fifth Avenue entered contract for nearly $7.5 million, the week's ninth-highest overall. The listing notes that this two-bedroom home was once owned by Marion Labau Dickerman, a great-granddaughter of railroad magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt, and that the apartment has only been listed twice in 70 years. It has a thoughtful split bedroom layout, a living room with a massive bowed window, and a wraparound terrace with views of Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Stan Ponte of Sotheby's International Realty represented the seller.
325 West 22nd Street, #TH (Simple Real Estate)
Also of note, 325 West 22nd Street, a townhouse in Chelsea, has only had two owners in nearly 150 years. According to the Chelsea Historic District Extension designation report, surgeon William Cushman bought the Greek Revival-style house in 1880 as a wedding gift for his wife, and his descendants lived in the house until 1976. That was when journalist Hilda Reiger bought the house, where she was part of a successful effort to extend the Chelsea Historic District in 1981. The house was listed in late May 2026, following Ms. Reiger's death in March, and it entered contract with an asking price just under $6 million less than three weeks later. Christopher Palminteri of Simple Real Estate represented her estate.
