Hurricane Sandy left most of lower Manhattan with out power for nearly a week, but that didn't stop some cutthroat New Yorkers from apartment hunting.
One buyer in-particular purchased a townhouse on West 15th Street last week for $6.95 million, despite that the home was powerless, according to the Olshan Realty's Luxury Market report.
The 19-foot-wide townhouse was originally on the market for $7.9 million, when it was listed in January.
The townhouse was the No.1 sale last week. Unsurprisingly, overall Hurricane Sandy affected sales negatively last week. Just five contracts were signed.
The two previous weeks were blockbuster ones in New York.
