For the overall Manhattan residential market CityRealty analyzed, consisting of condos, co-ops, and condops south of 96th Street on the East Side and south of 110th Street on the West Side; approximately 10,400 residential units are expected to close in 2019, down from 10,531 in 2018. There was a small increase in the average price paid for an apartment in 2019, rising from $2.07 million to $2.12 million. The median price of all apartments also rose slightly from $1.18 million to $1.2 million this year. Largely due to big-ticket purchases near the southern end of Central Park, most notably at 220 Central Park South, total residential sales of units sold for more than $10 million are projected to reach $4.60 billion by the end of 2019, up from $4.23 billion in 2018.
