Manhattan $5M+ Luxury Sales: November 2025

Twin cream-colored, ornate skyscrapers with spires rise side by side against a clear blue sky—iconic symbols often featured in Manhattan luxury sales for their symmetrical facades, rows of windows, and decorative architectural details.

Manhattan’s luxury market cools.

Supply declined in November as marketing times and average price per square foot increased versus 2024.

November 2025 saw 70 contracts over $5M, down 22% year-over-year.

This was the fourth annual decline in the past six months for contract activity above $5M.

Active listings fell 5% year-over-year.

$5M+ active listings dropped to 849 — the lowest November total since 2013.

Days on market jumped 19% year-over-year.

  • The annual gain was driven by a higher new development average as low supply has buyers choosing from listings that have been on the market for two-plus years.

Average asking price per square foot rose 6% annually to $3,321.

The year-over-year gain was boosted by a resale at 220 Central Park South for over $10,500 per square foot. Excluding that sale, average price per square foot rose 2% annually.
