The luxury slowdown is real.

Pads priced at $4 million-plus are lingering on the market for around 15 months, according to Olshan Realty’s [TRDataCustom] latest market report. On average, that’s 462 days, the report found.

One result? A slower-than-normal summer market, with 93 contracts signed for properties $4 million and up this month — the first August since 2012 where the number of contracts didn’t hit 100. For the week of Aug. 22-28, there were 13 contracts signed, compared to 22 for the same week last year.
