Although last year the overall activity in the commercial sector in NYC was the most upbeat we’ve seen in 5 years, the hotel segment was far from boasting the same results.The sales volume dropped by 58%, totaling only $1.6 billion. This is a sharp fall from the results seen in 2011, but still at least twice the figure in either 2008 or 2009.
The number of transactions saw a 30% decrease year-over-year, with only 31 deals closed in 2012, while the median sale price also dropped by 78% over 2011, from $46 million to 10 million.
