Condo prices on the Upper East Side have remained stable, while high end new releases have come into the market and sold very well. A great example is 255 East 74th Street. With 2 bedrooms starting at $2.25 Mil and 3 beds starting close to $3.5 Mil., the building has been selling like hotcakes. So much so that the building was better than 50% sold out before they spent $1 on marketing- talk about well received! They are not alone, The Lucida, with average prices above $1700psf is already 85%+ sold. The Brompton, the Robert A.M. Stern project which is more reasonably priced and opened later is around 60% sold. While pricey new condos may scare off potential buyers of moderate means, there are still some relatively reasonable new condos and new condo conversions with prices that are a bit more palatable. If you are looking for a studio or 1 bedroom and don't mind going a bit East in the 80's and 90's there are numerous options below $750k. If it is a family sized apartment that you need, there are a handful of options available for less than $2 Million in the 70's and 80's. The king of amenities, Miraval Living, has some units as low $1.8, and if it's the ever coveted PS 6 school district that is of utmost importance, at last check, The New Yorker Condominium had a 3 bedroom left for just under $2 Million.
In synopsis, the Upper East Side market has held very strong, while the appetite for higher and higher priced apartments is quite healthy.
