Manhattan And Brooklyn Townhouse Sales Stall


NEW YORK, July 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Stribling & Associates, a top New York residential brokerage, today releases the first half 2018 townhouse sales report. The report, which covers 1-3 family home sales in Manhattan and Northwest Brooklyn, showcased a market with increasing inventory and decreasing sales, as properties spent more time on the market. However, discounts were not spread evenly throughout the city.

"The townhouse market, like the market as a whole, has not been immune to stagnating sales amid a supply increase," said Garrett Derderian, Director of Data & Reporting at Stribling. "Two prime townhouse markets, the Upper East Side and Downtown, both saw sales volume decline despite an increase in total sales." Derderian cited a yearly reduction of 6% in sales volume in the Upper East Side, despite a 5% increase in sales, and a 25% decrease in volume Downtown, where the number of sales grew 11%.

The report highlighted that market-wide, the average sales price is 42% less than the average inventory price. Similarly, the median sales price is 34% less than the median inventory, while the average sales PPSF is 24% lower. "The townhouse market is a buyers' market. Virtually all deals see some negotiation. For the seller, it is a matter of pricing to where the market is going, rather than where it has been."

The report noted that while virtually all markets saw a decrease in total sales, more affordable areas continued to show improvements, particularly in the sub-$4 million market. Upper Manhattan, the most affordable market in the borough, recorded a 4% increase in the average sales price ($2,943,000), and an 8% increase in the median sales price ($2,700,000), coupled with a 2% rise in the average PPSF to $759. Likewise, Northwest Brooklyn saw a 5% increase in average sales price ($3,412,834) and 4% rise in its median price ($3,022,329).

To get a sense of current conditions, Derderian pointed to contracts signed in the first half of the year, "When looking year-over-year, contract price metrics are up overall, with the number of signings increasing 1%. While not a large change, this does indicate the market, in terms of total sales, is maintaining." Derderian also specified the average contract price, which reflects that last known asking price, was up 10%, while the median price increased 17%. "While the final sale prices are sure to be lower than the contract numbers, it is still a promising sign buyers are engaged with the market."
