§2 · The Read

The cohort, in plain terms.

Financial District's active market carries 325 listings at a median ask of $1,250,000 and $1,285 per square foot, with a median days-on-market of 72 — roughly 40% longer than what peers like Tribeca and Hudson Square are clearing. That DOM figure is the most telling single data point: sellers are not moving product quickly, and the bid-ask friction visible at the building level explains why. At 1 Wall Street, a 1931 conversion that ranks among the neighborhood's highest-profile residential addresses, ACRIS records 24 closings at a $2,172,500 median against 26 active asks priced at $2,367,500 — a gap of 8.2% that buyers have consistently refused to close. At 75 Wall Street, the spread is wider in percentage terms but tighter in dollar terms: 20 ACRIS-recorded closings at $962,500 versus asking inventory at $1,062,000, a 9.4% discount. Both buildings illustrate the same dynamic — sellers list above where the market has actually transacted, and buyers extract that concession at the table.

ACRIS records 382 deeds in the trailing 12 months at a $1,322,500 median — 5.8% above the current active median ask of $1,250,000. That inversion is unusual and warrants attention: it means the pool of homes currently listed skews lower in price than what actually traded over the past year, either because higher-end owners are not listing, or because the active supply is concentrated in smaller or lower-floor units. The building-level data at 25 Broad Street sharpens that point: 16 ACRIS closings there recorded a $962,500 median, yet 14 active asks sit at $1,495,000 — a 35.6% premium to recent cleared prices that stands as the starkest ask-to-close divergence in the leaderboard. By contrast, 15 William Street presents the inverse: 16 closings at $1,373,000 versus active asks at $1,290,000, meaning sellers there are pricing below where the building has historically transacted. With six loft listings and six new-construction units active out of 325 total, the supply base is overwhelmingly existing residential product in converted commercial stock — the structural identity of the neighborhood — and that concentration defines where price discovery continues to be contested.

Asking range: low / median / high of list_price across all currently-active listings in the building (Cotality REBNY RLS). Median, never average — resistant to a single high-end outlier.
Closing range: low / median / high of document_amt from ACRIS recorded deeds at this building’s tax block + lot, last 365 days. Excludes deeds < $50,000 — gifts, intra-family transfers, nominal $1 deeds.
Liquidity: ACRIS closings ÷ active asks. ≥ 2× = Liquid · 1-2× = Active comps · 0.25-1× = Thin trading · < 0.25× = No recent sales. Sold-out buildings (≥4 closings, 0 active) get “No current inventory”.
Discount-to-ask: median ACRIS closing price ÷ median active asking price − 1, computed only when both numbers are present at the building level.
Distribution strip plot: each teal dot = one ACRIS closing in the last 12 months. Brass vertical line = median active asking price. If the line sits to the right of the cluster, asking is above where deals actually clear; inside the cluster = at-market; left of the cluster = ask is below recent prints.
§5 · Buyer Memo

Senior-broker memo, not investment advice. Compliance: we are a brokerage; this is tactical posture, not a recommendation.

Financial District — Buyer Tactical Brief

The FiDi cohort is carrying 325 active listings at a 72-day median DOM, with ACRIS showing 382 closings over 12 months at a $1,322,500 median — functional equilibrium, but with meaningful ask-to-close gaps that reward patience.

1. Stale inventory to press: 25 Broad Street is the standout — ACRIS-verified closings median at $962,500 against active asks at $1,495,000, a 35.6% gap; anything sitting past 90 days there is a leverage play. 1 Wall Street (26 active units, -8.2% ask-to-close spread) warrants the same approach.

2. New-construction to prioritize: Six sponsor-sale listings are active in the submarket — tour these first; sponsor inventory at 1 Wall Street carries fresh finishes and a motivated seller structure worth testing now.

3. Off-market angle: 75 Wall Street — 16 active asks, -9.4% ask-to-close historically; cold-approach owners holding $1M+ asks over 60 days directly.

Negotiating posture: open below ask, hard — the data supports it.
