The fourth quarter of 2015 was a record-breaker for Manhattan co-ops and condos, as the median price, average price and price-per-square-foot were the highest ever. The median sales price is  up 17.3 percent year over year to $1.15 million, price per square foot is up 28.1 percent to $1,645, and the average sales price is up 12 percent to $1.95 million, according to Douglas Elliman.

A reason to feel okay (maybe) about not being a one-percenter: Mo' money, mo' problems. One57 buyer loses $1 million on resale (Wall Street Journal)

We're having a hard time making heads or tails of this one-bedroom Park Slope apartment's layout, but that's not all that uncommon in a brownstone. There appear to be three rooms (in addition to the kitchen and bathroom), the middle one of which is a small home office/storage room.

Ten-and-half foot ceilings and extra large windows mean that this $650,000 studio condo is more lofty, and less claustrophobic. The apartment, on the second floor of 242 South First Street, between Havemeyer and Roebling, has a balcony and high-end finishes. But it also has remnants from its past: Built in 1911 and once serving as a cheesecake factory, it still has wide plank maple flooring and original exposed concrete beamed ceilings.
