4th Quarter Corcoran Report

This quarter there is reason to be hopeful that the significant devaluation we have tracked since the demise of Lehman Brothers is coming to an end. Although values are down significantly compared with 2008 (median prices are 15% lower than they were one year ago; average price per square foot is 17% lower), prices in the Fourth Quarter were essentially unchanged from the Third, suggesting that buyers and sellers reached price equilibrium after twelve months of downward pressure. This was particularly apparent in the comparison of quarter-over quarter resales: the median price for a re-sold apartment in the Fourth Quarter was $725,000, down 3% from the prior quarter, while the average price per square foot rose 1% to $936.
