In the market for a New York luxury unit and hoping to talk your way into a better price? You’re officially out of luck.
Negotiability in Manhattan for units priced $4 million and up fell to 0 percent, a stat not seen since 2014, according to the latest market report from Olshan Realty. Year-to-date, the luxury market has averaged 4 percent negotiability from the original asking price to the last asking price before a property goes into contract.
Last year, negotiability was 9 percent on average for the year, according to Donna Olshan, president of Olshan Realty and author of the report.
The priciest home to go into contract the week of April 11 was a 46th-floor pad at JDS Development Group, Property Markets Group and Spruce Capital Partners’ 111 West 57th Street, asking $30 million. That’s up from the $28.5 million it was asking when it was listed off of floor plans in 2016.
The three-bedroom, 3.5-bath condo spans nearly 4,500 square feet and boasts a 50 x 21-foot great room overlooking Central Park.
The second priciest contract was PH30 at 301 East 80th Street, asking $27.5 million, raised from $25 million when the property was listed off of floorplans in October 2019. The penthouse, which spans nearly 5,500 square feet, has five bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms.
