What these numbers mean

What is months of supply?

How long it would take to sell every home now listed if sales kept their recent pace and no new listings came on. A lower number means buyers have fewer homes to choose from.

What is the absorption rate?

The share of listed homes that sell in a typical month. An absorption rate of 25% means about one in four listings sells each month; it is the same measure as months of supply, turned around.

What is the original asking price?

The price a home was listed at when it first came on the market, before any price cuts. Comparing the sale price with it shows how much room buyers negotiated.

Own in Financial District? What it would sell for today

The Financial District mixes office towers converted to residential lofts with newer high-rise condominiums facing the rivers and harbor. Buyers weigh that stock against the Fulton Center and Oculus hubs, the 2/3/4/5/A/C/J/Z trains, Battery Park and Bowling Green. Condo sellers should have the offering plan amendments and common-charge history ready, along with the building's recent board minutes.

Reviews

Milton helped me purchase my first Manhattan condo, and I can't recommend him highly enough. What could have been a stressful process ended up feeling remarkably smooth. From the initial offer through closing, Milton was responsive, knowledgeable, and always willing to take the time to answer questions and explain the details. I always felt informed and supported, but never pressured. If you're looking for a broker who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping his clients succeed, I would absolutely recommend Milton.
