Massey Knakal Realty Services Releases Third Quarter 2013 Property Sales Reports
New York, NY (PRWEB) October 30, 2013 -- Massey Knakal Realty Services is pleased to announce the release of their exclusive Third Quarter 2013 Property Sales Reports. These unique, industry-leading, reports provides a comprehensive study of the investment sales market by product type in the entire New York City area (Manhattan, Northern Manhattan/Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens).
“The recovery in New York City’s property sales market accelerated in the third quarter of 2013, but its dynamics have changed. As pricing for existing Manhattan properties has exploded, investors are stepping up the risk ladder, increasingly chasing yield in development and value-added properties as well as properties outside of Manhattan,” stated Bob Knakal, Massey Knakal Chairman.
During the first three quarters of 2013 (1Q-3Q13), there were $22.6B in NYC sales, an increase of 5% from 1-3Q13. Thus far, there have been 2438 properties sold, an increase of 2% from the same period last year. In 3Q13, there was $8B citywide, up 8% from 3Q12, and 2% from 2Q13.
“The most notable statistic with respect to the breakdown of sales volume is that development sites, thus far in 2013, represent about 17.2 perfect of all dollar volume, more than double the average seen in the period from 2009-2012. In fact, in the third quarter alone, dollar volume in the development sector was responsible for 22 percent of the total dollar volume, a record high surpassing the 2006 record. This emphasis on the development market is indicative of increasing confidence in the future of NYC’s property performance by the development community, as well as a lack of yield on existing properties,” added Knakal.
