New Listings + Sales of Manhattan lofts in last 7 days


This is my second report on the number, price distribution and neighborhood distribution for Manhattan lofts reported as new to the market or as closed sales in the last 7 days.

For information about how I get this stuff and why I slice it as I do, see methodology for New + Sold in The Last Seven Days.

Further wrinkle on the ‘quality’ of the statistics reported: some new developments will report an occasional contract at the same time they report the unit is On The Market. I noticed one such example this week at The District, 60 Ann Street. I suspect that this occurs sometimes due to poor record-keeping and I know that it sometimes occurs because the developer will release a specific unit for sale because a specific buyer wants that unit (“I am not interested in #7C but would buy #17C f you released it now”) or because the developer announces a string of “pre-sales” contracts taken before they began actively marketing (such as at The Alexander, 250 East 49 Street) this week.

I am still at the stage of just spitting this out, without analysis of any weight. The stats as of this morning …

  • there were 45 lofts reported as new to the market in the last 7 days, and 11 as sold

  • about 70% of the new ones are offered under $2mm

  • 40% of the new loft listings are in new developments, and 2 of 11 of the closed sales
