Currently for sale on the market there are Four(4) One Bedroom Apartments asking a range of $675,000-829,000. The size of most of the apartments and different degrees of renovation along with lower to higher floors accounts for the fluctuation in pricing.

There are a number of apartments in contract right now that will probably close in the next couple of months.

So far in 2011 there have been approximately 13 closed sales. There is a possibility that there were more sales than that between individual owner's or properties that never came on the sales market, but we will get a good evaluation of pricing for 2011.

• Studio's-Two Studio's sold so far in 2011 ranging in price of $385,000-$390,000. Those prices reflected original condition apartments that needed renovation, lower floor units.
• One Bedroom's-Nine (9) One Bedroom apartments have sold so far in 2011. The price range was wide, ranging from $585,000-$875,000. The wide range is accounted for because of a varying degree of size, view and condition for each apartment.
• Two Bedroom's-Two (2) Two Bedroom apartments have sold in 2011. The price range was $1,235,000-$1,370,000.

For such a big building as the Vanderbilt Condominium, having 12-15 apartments sell in 2011 is a healthy number. That only makes up about 4% of the total inventory. All in all that is fairly low.

Something to consider is how long each apartment stays on the market, typically once it is priced within a fair market range it will sell very quickly.
