A neighborhood median is the median of what closed that month, not a price change on the same apartments. Large swings mostly reflect unit mix, new development closings, and a few big deals in a small sample.
Sales counts cover recorded deeds from August 2025 through July 2026. Deed recording lags closings, so recent months undercount; use the counts to rank activity, not as annual totals.
Manhattan's median sales price was $1.23M in July 2026, up 0.7%. Listings took a median 78 days to sell, down from 89 a year earlier, and the $4,820 median 1-bedroom asking rent is the highest of the five boroughs. The Upper East Side and Upper West Side recorded 2,653 and 2,266 sales over the trailing 12 months, the two most active neighborhoods in this data.

Staten Island: $680K, Down 1.3%
StreetEasy does not publish neighborhood-level data for Staten Island, so this section tracks the borough as a whole. The median sales price fell 1.3% to $680K, and days on market eased to 48.5 from 50.5, the fastest of the five boroughs. For-sale inventory shrank to 277 listings from 305, while the share of listings with a price cut rose to 13.0% from 8.9% and the sale-to-list ratio dropped to 93.3% from 98.2%. The price cuts tracker follows that last number citywide.

Conclusion: How to Use This Tracker
Queens and Brooklyn did the citywide lifting with gains of 14.1% and 12.4%, while Manhattan was nearly flat and Staten Island declined. One month's median describes one month's closings, so work from the neighborhood tables and multiple months. The price resilience piece covers the full record, which starts in January 2010.
Send the address you are looking at. The report covers what the listing leaves out: the recorded sale history, the tax and abatement picture, open building violations and permits, and the closed sales that set the price. Milton prepares it from public records. No obligation.
