Manhattan Resale Appreciation - August 9-15, 2026

This past week, 63% of matched Manhattan resales gained value, similar to the prior week. This week's resales had a median dollar gain of $45,000 and median appreciation of 4.7%. Among winners only, the median gain was much stronger at $175,000, or 15.7%, while losing resales had a median decline of $150,000, or 10.2%. Compared with the prior appreciation batch we discussed, the market was broadly similar but a touch softer by median appreciation, down from 5.2%.

The strongest performance again came from longer holds. Apartments last purchased before 2010 were clear winners, with 25 of 33 resales gaining value and a median appreciation of 19.8%. The 2010–2019 cohort was much more mixed, with 53 gains, 42 losses, and 2 flats across 97 resales, for a median gain of just 2.0%. More recent 2020-and-later purchases held up well, with 41 of 58 gaining value and a median appreciation of 4.7%, though those gains were generally more modest. By neighborhood, the West Village was the standout, with all six matched resales gaining and a median appreciation of about 33.8%. Greenwich Village also went 4-for-4. Softer pockets this past week were Central Park West and Midtown West.

The biggest dollar gain was 201 West 16th Street #PH, which sold for $7.5 million, up $4.4 million from its prior price, or about 142%. The largest percentage gain was The North Moore #PHC in Tribeca, up 175% from its prior sale. On the downside, 224 Mulberry Street #7 was the largest dollar loss, selling for $16.3 million, or $4.7 million below its prior price.
