This month, we are mad about townhouses! They are trading like crazy in Brooklyn and Queens. To offer insight, we have the updates for you including yearly reports for both the Brooklyn and Manhattan townhouse markets, a featured article highlighting some of New York's most unique townhouses, as well as a grand 25 wide Neo-Grec townhouse as one of our featured listings.
Manhattan townhouse sales in 2017 were rare, and high-end. There were fewer than 200 closings last year, but the average price per square foot (PPSF) was $1,530, and the average price tag for a Manhattan townhouse was above $6.5 million.
Brooklyn on the other hand, had more than 6x the number of closings compared to Manhattan, with an average PPSF at less than ½ of that commanded in Manhattan. For both markets single family homes garnered higher PPSF compared with MFTHs.
Of course, we have both Manhattan and Brooklyn monthly snap shot reports for May. We are starting to see contrasting conditions between the Brooklyn and Manhattan markets...
AND, to round out this month's issue we have an article about the implications of the new tax law for condo and co-op owners, as well as potential bad news for real estate web portals like Zillow and Streeteasy, and a profile on a new hot-spot in Nomad with the longest bar in Manhattan. As always we have our featured properties, and both are stunning. Enjoy the summer!
