Manhattan home prices fell in April by the most in almost a decade. And buyers have pounced.

They signed 1,193 purchase contracts -- more than any month since April 2015, according to a report this week by StreetEasy. The listings website’s price index fell 5.2% from a year earlier to $1.11 million. That was the biggest decline since April 2010, when the index -- which measures changes in resale prices for the same properties over time -- dropped 6.1%.
