The Manhattan real estate market recorded a near-metric-high in the first three quarters of 2025, the strongest sustained pace since before the pandemic. Luxury prices hit all-time highs, cash buyers set a new record at 64% of all transactions, and new development closings surged 71% year over year.

Buying a condo in Manhattan requires more than signing a contract. Most condo buildings require a formal board application before the sale can close, but the process is far less invasive than what co-op buyers face. Condo boards typically review the application materials required by the building’s governing documents. In many Manhattan condo deals, that review ends with a waiver of the condominium’s right of first refusal, allowing the sale to move forward.

New York condominium law is governed primarily by the Condominium Act (RPP Article 9-B) and the Martin Act (GBL Article 23-A), which together regulate how condos are created, marketed, and sold. Every transaction involving a Manhattan condo requires careful review of the offering plan, by-laws, and declaration, as well as an understanding of the tax obligations, board approval procedures, and title issues that arise at closing.

In a Manhattan FSBO transaction, the seller’s real estate attorney typically draws up the purchase contract. When no attorney is involved, the buyer’s agent or the buyer’s attorney may draft it instead, but the seller may face increased legal risk in either scenario. Understanding who prepares the contract, what it must include, and how New York law applies to the process is important for any seller pursuing an FSBO sale.

Avenue Law Firm just earned another five-star review!

"Michael and Anna were a really big help with our closing. It took us some time to get there as we were waiting for a new construction but thanks to Michael’s support and professionalism it was just a breeze. Michael was always on point, responsive and was able to negotiate us a truly amazing contract! Can’t recommend Michael and Anna more for any of your real estate needs!! Look no further!!!"

You should hire a real estate attorney before you make a purchase offer or begin negotiations on a property in Manhattan. While the state does not have a statute requiring attorney representation for most transactions, the longstanding custom in New York City is for both buyers and sellers to retain separate legal counsel. An attorney protects your interests from the earliest stages of a deal through closing and beyond.

Title insurance is a one-time policy that protects property buyers and mortgage lenders against financial losses caused by defects in a property’s title. If you are purchasing a condo, townhouse, or house in Manhattan with financing, your lender will typically require a lender’s title policy, and many buyers also purchase an owner’s policy for additional protection. Different rules often apply to co-op purchases.

Property law governs how real estate is owned, transferred, and protected in Manhattan and throughout New York. It establishes the legal framework that determines who holds title to a property, what rights come with ownership, and how disputes between buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants are resolved. Without property law, every real estate transaction would carry significant risk.
