Manhattan’s luxury market once again saw only nine contracts signed last week, this time for a total of $51.25 million. That continued the drastic slowdown from last week, which followed 10 straight weeks of 20 or more sales, according to Olshan Realty.

The contracts signed at $4 million or above were again split between seven condominiums and two co-ops.

Sales were the same as the week before, while dollar volume dropped slightly from about $53.9 million. Last week’s dollar volume was the lowest since mid-November 2013, and it was the second week in a row where no properties went into contract for $10 million or higher, which hasn’t happened since September 2011.
