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 $3,825,000, 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. For more information, check out Brick Underground’s tips on buying a luxury apartment in NYC.

One of the hallmarks of the current market is that you can find luxury apartments for sale for less than the owners paid for them—and that’s sometimes even after a renovation. 

That appears to be the case with this renovated co-op at 23 West 73rd St, #1207. The two-bedroom, three-bath apartment has been on and off the market since the beginning of the year, when it was originally asking $5,250,000, according to StreetEasy. Two price cuts later, it is now asking $4,450,000. That’s less than it sold for in April, 2013, when it went for $4,539,000. Maintenance is $4,183.
