At a time when demand for most Manhattan apartments is still declining, there was an exception last month: cheap co-ops.[NEW YORK] At a time when demand for most Manhattan apartments is still declining, there was an exception last month: cheap co-ops.

Contracts to buy co-op units for US$500,000 to US$999,000 jumped 12 per cent from a year earlier, according to a report on Thursday by appraiser Miller Samuel and brokerage Douglas Elliman Real Estate. In the range of US$1 million to US$1.99 million, pending purchases climbed 9.9 per cent. The annual increases were the first for co-op contracts at any price point in data going back to May.

It's a small sign of life for the Manhattan market in the Covid era, when a rush to buy suburban homes has outstripped demand for apartments in New York's costliest borough. Now, entry-level buyers who see a future in the city are sensing a chance to get a place at a discount. They're zeroing in on co-ops, where units are older and cheaper and whose owners might be primed to make a deal.

"That's what's getting the first look," said Jonathan Miller, president of Miller Samuel."We're not seeing the same upswing in the condo market in those same price points." For Manhattan condos across all price levels, contracts fell 28 per cent in October from a year earlier, according to the report.
