Elegran Monthly Round-Up: October 2018

It's still very much a buyer's market in New York City, particularly when it comes to luxury Manhattan apartments. Across the city, inventory is up while prices continue to rise. Despite these conditions, Elegran agents were still able to close several high-end deals last month on beautiful NYC apartments. Here are some of the tops deals closed by the Elegran team last October.
