Manhattan condo prices have yet to recover fully
From its peak in December 2008 to its trough in May 2009, the RPX Manhattan Condominium price declined 24 percent, according to Radar Logic.
Since then, it has regained only about half of the value it lost during the crash.
As of March 31, the RPX Manhattan condominium price was $1,017.10 per square foot, which is 16 percent above its cyclical trough of $923.24, but still 12 percent below its all-time peak of $1,212.83.
Sales activity also remains well below pre-crisis levels. Activity during March 2011 was 18 percent lower than it was during March 2008, before the national housing crisis took hold of the Manhattan market.
Although the rate of sales increased robustly during 2009, its recovery has faltered since, with the transaction count declining 3 percent over the last year. There has been a clear shift in the concentration of sales from smaller to larger units over the last year.
