Manhattan's luxury housing market showed signs of improvement after a sluggish period, as reported by Olshan Realty's weekly roundup. In the week ending Sunday, 21 homes with a price tag of $4 million or more were sold, marking the first time in a month that more than 20 contracts were signed. Donna Olshan, the president of Olshan Realty, noted that the new contracts consisted of 17 condos, three co-ops, and one townhouse. The total value of these contracts exceeded $208 million, indicating a substantial increase of nearly 50% compared to the previous week.

The surge in Manhattan's luxury housing market was influenced by a substantial penthouse sale at the One High Line development in Chelsea. The most expensive home sold last week was a $49 million penthouse in the building, spanning over 7,000 square feet with five bedrooms, six and a half bathrooms, and a standout feature—a nearly 5,000-square-foot wraparound terrace. The second-highest sale was a townhouse on the Upper East Side, priced at $27.995 million, reduced from its peak asking price of $35 million. The townhouse, a 25-foot-wide building, has been on and off the market for several years, subdivided into two apartments and a dental office, according to Olshan Realty.
