Our latest Market Analysis video launches on our Harlem Lofts YouTube channel released on October 15th, 2022, at Harlem Lofts with Robb Pair below:
This article focuses on factors that may drive recovery in the Upper Manhattan market.
As mentioned in last month’s column, after a busy year in 2021 the market now faces economic uncertainty and higher interest rates.
Townhouse inventory and Seller discounts have surged, and supply now outstrips demand.
Interestingly, our Research suggests that this imbalance is leading to signs of an uptick, led by lower-priced listings (Graphs 1-3, below)!
Graphs 1-3 analyze current Townhouse Listings, In-Contract Listings, and Sales by price (<$2M, $2-3M, $3-4M, >$4M):
- Note that of the 103 Listings currently on the market (high!), 68 (66%) are priced below $3M (Graph 1, left)
- Of the 10 In-Contract Listings (low!), 9 (90%) are priced below $3M (Graph 2, center, green asterisk, and bar)
- Of 95 Sales Oct 21 to Sept 22, 84 (88%) sold below $3M (Graph 3, right)!
These graphs show that the lower end of the Townhouse Market is dominating Listings, In-Contract Listings, and Sales.
The upper end of the Market (>$3M) has not yet followed suit.
This suggests that in the light of increased inventory and discounts, investors are starting to seek quality properties at discount prices amenable to cash purchases – a pattern that also drove the early recovery from COVID!
Needless to say, we are following this trend closely.
