The New York City residential sales market recorded a five percent decrease in citywide consideration (monetary value for completed transactions) totaling $12.8 billion in the third quarter of 2018, compared with the third quarter of 2017.

The number of sales fell year-over-year in the third quarter in all sales ranges.The biggest decline this quarter though was in the lowest bracket of $100,000 to $500,000. A rapid mortgage rate increase spurred the 17 percent decline in sales for this range, which affected the amount of free income a buyer may have for paying down the principal on a home mortgage.

Notably, the decrease in sales over $5 million was only three percent. This segment of the market had experienced the most precipitous sales volume declines in the first two quarters of 2018. Year-over-year, the $500,000
to $1 million range fell by one percent, the $1 million to $3 million range decreased seven percent, and the $3 million to $5 million range decreased nine percent.

This was 10 percent greater than the previous record set in the first quarter of this year for a one-to-three-family dwelling. This was a result of the decline in transactions at the lower end of the market as well as overall price increases.

2nd Quarter 2018

The New York City residential sales market recorded an eight percent decrease in citywide consideration (monetary value for completed transactions) totaling $12.3 billion in the second quarter of 2018, compared with the second quarter of 2017.

The approximately $1 billion decrease in total consideration during the second quarter of 2018 was smaller than the previous quarter’s year-over-year drop of $2 billion.

Despite the year-over-year consecutive decreases in citywide total consideration, this quarter was among the highest in total consideration recorded since the second quarter of 2006.

The average sales price of a condominium in New York City decreased 10 percent year-over-year to $1,707,000. The citywide condo average sales price decline was driven by a 10 percent decline in the Manhattan condo average sales price to $2,726,000 from 2017’s second quarter average sales price of $3,023,000.

The New York City residential sales market recorded a 16 percent decrease in citywide consideration (monetary value for completed transactions) totaling $10.3 billion in the first quarter of 2018, compared with the first quarter of 2017.

The New York City residential sales market has not experienced three-quarters of consecutive year-over-year decreases since the third quarter of 2009.

4th Quarter 2017

The New York City residential sales market recorded a 12 percent decrease in citywide consideration (monetary value for completed transactions) totaling $10.7 billion in the fourth quarter of 2017, compared with the fourth quarter of 2016.

Total residential sales consideration increased: four percent to $2.40 billion in Brooklyn; 12 percent to $2.35 billion in Queens; and 17 percent to $455 million in the Bronx.

The average sales price for a condominium in Manhattan eased off all-time highs to $2,524,000 this quarter, a 14 percent decrease year-over-year due to fewer recordings of sales in top tier new developments.

The median price of a New York City hoREBNY_2020_Resi-SalesReport_Q2_FINALme increased 12 percent to $650,000 in the third quarter of 2017, demonstrating that the demand for New York City homes remains broad-based.

Manhattan’s year-over-year surge was pushed by sales at the very high end of the market. However, the median price of a New York City home increased seven percent to $600,000 in the first quarter of 2017, signaling that the demand for New York City homes is not only at the upper end of the market. Home sales volume increased year-over-year citywide. The number of sales for all homes in the City rose two percent from the first quarter of last year to 12,112 with Brooklyn experiencing the greatest increase in sales at four percent with 2,905 sales, and Queens posting the greatest volume with 3,789 sales.

3rd Quarter 2016

In the third quarter of 2016, the New York City residential sales market posted a new all-time high in citywide total consideration (monetary value for completed transactions) at $13.6 billion, a 15 percent rise from the third quarter of 2015. Bouncing back from a lukewarm second quarter 2016, the average sales prices for a home (cooperatives, condominiums, and one-to-three-family dwellings) in Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx also set new records since the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY) began tracking home sales data in 2006.

The average sales price for a home hit $891,000 in Brooklyn; $523,000 in Queens; and $400,000 in the Bronx. The average sales price for a condominium in Manhattan also hit a new record of $2,952,000 driven by sales in high-priced, new developments. The average sales price of a New York City home increased eleven percent to $981,000 in the third quarter of 2016 compared to $888,000 in the third quarter of 2015. All five boroughs individually posted year-over-year increases in the average sales price for a home.

2nd Quarter 2016

The New York City residential sales market started to face some resistance in the second quarter of 2016. While the average sales price of all homes in the city increased – reaching a new, all-time high since the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY) began tracking home sales data in 2006 – and average sales prices for a home in each of the five boroughs rose year-over-year, sales volume started to weaken. The Bronx and Staten Island were the only boroughs to record increases in sales volume this quarter when compared to last year.

The average sales price of a New York City home (cooperatives, condominiums, and one-to-three-family dwellings) increased ten percent to $1,018,000 compared to $923,000 in the second quarter of 2015. Average price increases were posted by all the boroughs this quarter compared to last year’s second quarter, but recordings at some of Manhattan’s most expensive, new condominium buildings drove the average price to this all-time high average price for a home in New York City.

1st Quarter 2016

The New York City residential sales market continued to post small, healthy increases in both average homes sales price and homes sales volume in the first quarter of 2016 compared to last year’s first quarter. The most significant percentage increases in residential sales volume occurred in the Bronx and Staten Island, driven by the sale of one-to-three family dwellings. The sale of one-to-three family dwellings in both boroughs has been on a relative upward trajectory over the last five years since the start of 2011.

The average sales price of an NYC home (cooperatives, condominiums, and one-to-three-family dwellings) increased one percent to $911,000 compared to $898,000 in last year’s first quarter, despite average home sale price increases of five and eight percent in Manhattan and Brooklyn respectively. Declines in sales volume in Manhattan and Brooklyn, whose average home sale prices are the highest in the city, combined with increasing sales in the Bronx, Staten Island and Queens, whose average home sale prices are considerably lower, moderated average home sales price growth.

4th Quarter 2015

The New York City residential sales market had small increases in both average homes sales price and homes sales volume in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to last year’s fourth quarter. The average sales price of a NYC home increased one percent to $843,000 compared to last year’s fourth quarter of $841,000 due to fewer sales recordings of condos in the ultra-luxury segment of the market. In the fourth quarter of 2015 there were six sales recorded at 157 West 57th with an average sales price of about $17 million, while in the fourth quarter of 2014 there were eleven sales with an average price of about $34 million. A decline in sales volumes in Manhattan and Brooklyn, whose average home sales prices are the highest in the city, combined with increasing sales in Queens and the Bronx, whose average home sales prices are considerably lower, also played a significant role in the lower average home sales prices within NYC in the fourth quarter.

3rd Quarter 2015

The New York City residential sales market had slightly lower average sales prices but with increased sales in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter of 2014. The average sales price of an NYC home decreased 2 percent to $888,000 compared to last year’s third quarter of $910,000 due to fewer sales recordings in the upper echelons of the market as well as a pickup of sales in the boroughs. The weakening of sales at the top of the market is clearly evident by looking at the following statistic. In the third quarter of 2015, the average sales price of a home in the top 5 percent of sales was $5,103,107. In the third quarter of last year, the average sales price of the top 5 percent of sales was $5,974,991, 17 greater than this year’s third quarter.

2nd Quarter 2015

The New York City residential sales market posted higher average sales prices along with increased sales in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2014. The average sales price of a NYC home increased 12 percent to $923,000 compared to last year’s second quarter of $826,000 driven by a large average price increase in Manhattan as well as substantial average price increases in the other boroughs. NYC homes sales increased by 5 percent over last year’s second quarter to reach a total of 11,262. The Manhattan condo segment of the market again had the largest effect on the overall NYC home average sales price. The average price of a Manhattan condo increased 31 percent over last year’s second quarter to $2,353,000 with the number of sales increasing 2 percent. This large average price increase is again partly attributable to more closings at 157 West 57th Street where 6 sales over twenty million dollars were recorded during the quarter, including one over ninety million dollars. The average Manhattan condo sales price in the quarter without the 157 West 57th sales was $2,143,000, still a 19 percent increase over the second quarter of last year.

1st Quarter 2015

The New York City residential sales market posted higher average sales prices and stronger sales volume in the first quarter of 2015 compared to last year’s first quarter. The average sales price of a NYC home increased 12 percent to $898,000 compared to last year’s first quarter of $801,000 driven once again by large price increases in Manhattan and Brooklyn. NYC homes sales increased by 8 percent over last year’s first quarter to reach a total of 11,216. The Manhattan condo segment of the market had the greatest impact on the overall NYC home average sales price. The average price of a Manhattan condo increased 28 percent over last year’s first quarter to $2,344,000 with the number of sales increasing 11 percent. This large average price increase is partly attributable to more closings at 157 West 57th Street where 6 sales over twenty million dollars were recorded during the quarter, including one over one hundred million dollars. The home sales markets in Brooklyn and Queens also had strong average price increases of 12 percent and 7 percent respectively.

The average price of a Manhattan condo increased 37 percent over last year’s fourth quarter to $2,338,000, but the number of sales fell 11 percent. This large average price increase is partly attributable to closings at 157 West 57th Street where 9 sales over twenty million dollars were recorded during the quarter.

The number of sales in the third quarter fell by 15 percent through to 11,954. The biggest price gains were in the Manhattan condo segment of the market.

The average sales price of a NYC home decreased slightly by less than 1 percent compared to last year’s first quarter to $801,000 due to fewer sales in Manhattan compared to last year. Looking at individual market segments though, this quarter had very robust price gains. Manhattan recorded all time high condo and coop average sales prices, Brooklyn had record condo and 1-3 family home average sales prices, average sales prices of 1-3 family homes, coops, and condos all increased year over year in Queens, and the average 1-3 family home sales price increased in the Bronx over the first quarter of last year.

The average sales price of a NYC home slipped 2 percent to $760,000 from last year due to a higher percentage of sales occuring outside of Manhattan, where the average price of a home is substantially lower. The number of sales of homes over 10 million dollars increased by 1 from last year;s fourth quarter to 31.

3rd Quarter 2013

4th Quarter 2012

Overall, 2012 was the strongest year for the New York City residential sales market in terms of total consideration since the financial crisis of 2008. Total consideration for the entire year was $30.3 billion. The next highest year was 2010 with total consideration of $29.7 billion Total sales this year were the second highest since 2008 at 39,381. In 2010, there were 41,039 sales, but that figure was boosted by the home buyer tax credit program. Based on the annual growth in total consideration and total sales since 2008, the New York City market continues to show clear signs of a recovery from the financial crisis.

3nd Quarter 2012

Slowly rising prices and sales volumes in the New York City residential sales market continued in the third quarter of 2012, continuing a trend that we have seen since the official end of the recession. Average prices increased by 1 percent year on year citywide and sales increased 6 percent year on year. The lack of forceful economic winds in either direction seemed to act as a stabilizing factor for the market. The only major development systematically important to the market as the Federal Reserve’s announcement of a round of mortgage backed security purchases aimed to keep mortgage rates at near bottom levels. Given the sustained level of demand and the decline in inventory both in Manhattan and the boroughs, development of new units should pick up in 2013.

2nd Quarter 2012

The second quarter of 2012 was another stable and steady period for the New York City
residential sales market. Sales volume and average prices posted small gains or losses
depending on borough and property class. There was nothing in the data to suggest a significant trend in either direction. The continual stress on banks in Europe, the slow job growth domestically, and the lack of new residential developments in New York City have all contributed to this steady state in the residential sales market. Thankfully, mortgage rates have continued to dip lower, due to the economic unease around the world and Federal Reserve policy. These low rates have preserved home values and help sustain modest demand.
