Massey Knakal Realty Services Releases Third Quarter 2014 Property Sales Reports - A Comprehensive Study Of New York City's Investment Sales Market
New York, NY (PRWEB) November 16, 2014 -- Massey Knakal Realty Services is pleased to announce the release of their exclusive Third Quarter 2014 Property Sales Reports. These unique, industry-leading, reports provide a comprehensive study of the investment sales market by product type in the New York City area (Manhattan, Northern Manhattan/Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens.
“After a torrid start to the year, sales volumes stepped back a bit in the third quarter as market dynamics continued to exert upward pressure on record setting property values which continue to escalate. The pace of the dollar volume of sales continues slightly off the 2007 peak while the number of properties sold remains on an all-time record pace,” stated Bob Knakal, Massey Knakal Chairman.
Through the first three quarters of 2014, the New York City investment sales market continued its strong performance, with nearly $39 billion in total dollar volume. 2014 has already surpassed 2013’s annual dollar volume, and is on pace for $52 billion.
“We expect a strong fourth quarter and for dollar volume to accelerate in the final quarter, ending the year north of $60 billion,” said Adrian Mercado, Vice President, Research.
While Manhattan leads the way with $28 billion in activity this year, Brooklyn’s volume is on pace to exceed 2013 by 74%, with $5 billion sold thus far. As with dollar volume, transactional activity has remained strong, with five consecutive quarters of 1,100 or more properties sold, putting NYC on pace to exceed 5,100 properties sold in 2014. Northern Manhattan is nearing an all-time best in turnover (measured as the percentage of properties sold over total inventory) with 6.7% of the total stock on pace to sell this year.
Retail continues to drive pricing, as price per square foot has increased by 15% from 2013 for core property (Manhattan +26%, Northern Manhattan +19%, Brooklyn +14%, Queens +6%, Bronx no change).
Finally, scarcity of land continues to exert upward pressure on pricing citywide with price per buildable square foot up 25% from 2013, with Manhattan finishing out the third quarter at $655 per buildable square foot.
