A weekend kiss-off from New York Magazine: Psst, want to buy a mega-mansion? Here in New York, we've got lenty, and more all the time. There are at least eleven properties now on the market for $50 million or more, according to Streeteasy.com's Sofia Song — the highest number ever. From April to June of this year, there were twelve priced at $50 million or more. In the same period in 2011, there were four; way back in the second quarter of 2008, before the market began its downward spiral, there were only three.
Even $50 million seems almost passé now amid recent arrivals
near the nine-digit mark. There’s the $100 million penthouse at 150 West 56th
Street that debuted last weekend and the
$95 million five-bedroom at the Ritz-Carlton that turned up on Thursday.
Another $95 million combo listing, half of which once housed A-Rod, is now
available at 15 Central Park West. (Check out the floor plan: The master bedroom
has a sitting room and a dressing room and another area, presumably for
sleeping, that could fit two taxis, easy.)
Within the last two weeks, eight listings asking at least
$20 million went on sale in the middle of the summer…..
Just can’t get enough?
