The Weekly Manhattan Market Report - 01/12/2026
The Luxury Sector:
Twenty contracts were signed last week in Manhattan at $4 million and above, seven more than the New Year's–shortened week prior. Condos continue to dominate, outselling co-ops at 12 to 4, with one condop and three townhouses in the mix. The top contract of the week was Unit 36 at 111 West 57th Street, asking $18.25 million, after being reduced from $21.25 million when the building first began selling off of floorplans in June 2016. The second-highest contract was Penthouse 20 at 1049 5th Avenue, asking $11.6 million, down from $11.95 million when it was listed in May.
Overall City/Market Supply:
Last week, overall listing supply came in at 4,895 apartments, up 2% from the prior week, but still well below the 5,000 threshold. Inventory hasn’t been this tight in several years–the last time we saw supply dip below 4700 was back in 2015, which occurred the week before last. That said, it appears overall listing supply likely bottomed out the week prior, so expect listings to begin re-entering the market as we move toward the spring selling season. Looking at the weekly supply numbers, 260 new listings came to the market last week–a 584% week-over-week increase. That’s a strong rebound from the prior week and a welcome sign, though once the spring market fully kicks in, weekly supply volume will likely be double of that level. Still, it’s a meaningful uptick. Another notable data point: only 179 apartments were taken off the market last week, 20% fewer than the week before. As we head deeper into spring, expect fewer listings to be pulled and more sellers to step back into the market in anticipation of the prime selling season.
Liquidity Pace (The 30-Day Pace of Buyer Demand):
Over the past 30 days, buyers have put 716 apartments into contract. The 30-day pace of buyer demand is up 3% compared to this time last year, though activity is likely to slow further as we move deeper into January. That said, expect the spring season to begin taking shape in early to mid-February, with momentum building more meaningful after March 1. On the weekly front, 167 apartments went into contract last week–an increase of 43.9% from the week before. As we get closer to the spring selling season, look for more listings to begin moving into contract. While there will be some week-to-week volatility, the broader trend should continue to strengthen as we head deeper into spring.
