Sales | Olshan
Only 13 contracts were signed in Manhattan at $4 million and above between Sept. 10 and 16. The slowdown was partially attributed to the Jewish New Year. The most expensive contract of the week was for a brownstone at 18 West 75th Street, which went into contract asking $15 million. Read the report here.
