Welcome to Brick Underground’s luxury pick of the week, a feature spotlighting a condo, co-op, or townhouse for sale with an asking price of at least $3,000,000, the current entry threshold for luxury apartments in Manhattan. If you’re in the market for a high-end abode, you should know that while sales have slowed considerably over the past couple of years, that trend is starting to reverse as sellers come to grips with the new market reality and adjust their prices accordingly. It's good news for your wallet—just be aware that many luxe listings won’t linger on the market indefinitely.

A recent price drop brought this Murray Hill condo, 330 East 38th St., #24NO, just to the threshold of luxury pricing in New York City. The apartment, with three bedrooms and four baths, is currently asking $3,000,000, after a 6 percent cut in November. Monthly taxes are $2,218 and monthly common charges are $1,801.

According to StreetEasy, this combination apartment has been on and off the market since May 2018, when it was listed for $3,500,000. 

For comparison, another listing in the building offers buyers the opportunity to combine two apartments, #30MN, to create a four bedroom, four bath—the adjacent listings are being sold together for $3,650,000. And a slightly smaller, already combined apartment, #33CD, with an asking price of $2,950,000, is in contract.
