Given the boom in sales here, I'm not surprised

Manhattan home sales prices dropped 18% in past quarter. Prices and volume, raising the question of who’s buying our houses? I’ll speculate that it’s a combination of people who can afford to own two houses, for a while, and those who’ve been lucky enough to find a buyer, albeit at a lower price than hoped for.

Manhattan Home Sales Fall Most on Record in Locked-Down Quarter

(Bloomberg) -- Manhattan home sales plunged the most on record in the second quarter, while New York was shut down to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

Purchases of co-ops and condos in the borough tumbled 54% from a year earlier to 1,357, according to a report Thursday by appraiser Miller Samuel Inc. and brokerage Douglas Elliman Real Estate. It was the biggest annual decline since the firms started keeping the data in 1990.
