Low inventory, hidden contracts drive new dev swoon
Briefly

New York City's development contracts decreased in the second quarter, totaling 648, marking a 9 percent decline year-over-year. The luxury market also faced a downturn, with 105 contracts for units priced over $4 million, down from 136 the previous year. A lack of new development inventory is attributed to the weak performance of the new development sector. Supply levels in Manhattan are currently 18% below the 10-year average, contributing to fewer sales and longer market durations for existing units.
