What the list shows

• Big buildings dominate. The co-op complexes on the list, such as Lincoln Towers on West End Avenue and London Terrace in Chelsea, have hundreds of apartments, so even a normal turnover rate puts them near the top.

• New supply drives the rest. Buildings selling their first apartments account for much of the list, which is why a building can appear here with no sales the year before.

• Median prices vary more than tenfold, from co-ops under $1 million on the Upper West Side to new condominiums above $6 million.

How these figures are made

• Source: New York City Department of Finance recorded sales, updated weekly as the city publishes them.

• Included: condominium and co-op apartment sales of $100,000 or more in Manhattan. Whole townhouses and commercial property are not included.

• Bulk transfers are excluded. When several apartments change hands in one deal, the city records each unit at the whole deal price, so three or more records in one building on one day at the same price are left out.

• A building filed under more than one tax lot is counted once.

• Medians, not averages, so a single very large sale does not distort a building's figure.
