Contracts to buy Manhattan luxury homes are outpacing their pre-pandemic levels thanks to discounts and optimism about New York City’s reopening a year after the lockdown.

Last week, 41 deals were signed for homes priced at $4 million or more, bringing the year-to-date total to 343, according to a report Monday by brokerage Olshan Realty. That’s a 60% increase from 215 contracts in the same period of 2020.
