Manhattan Resale Appreciation - May 24 - 30, 2026

Approximately 60% of matched Manhattan resales sold for more than their prior purchase price, down from 72.8% last week, while 38.7% traded at a loss and about 1.1% were flat. Among gainers, the median resale increase was approximately +20.6%,

Appreciation remains highly dependent on holding period. Apartments purchased before 2010 continued to show the strongest appreciation, with 88% selling above their prior price and a median overall gain of roughly +47%. By contrast, units purchased from 2020 onward were much weaker, with only about 42% selling at a gain and a median overall change of about -1.8%.

The biggest gains were tied to long-held, lower-price-point purchases in neighborhoods like Tribeca, SoHo, Lenox Hill, Greenwich Village, and Carnegie Hill, while losses were concentrated in more recent or higher-basis purchases, especially in parts of the Financial District, where all seven matched resales sold below their prior price.
