All five NYC boroughs posted year-over-year price gains in June 2026: Brooklyn led at +10.3% to a $1.07M median, Manhattan rose 6.5% to $1.23M, and the citywide median sales price hit $900K, up 5.9%. Queens added 1.1% to $715K, the Bronx rose 2.6% to $585K, and Staten Island edged up 1.4% to $730K. I've been selling NYC real estate since 4-line ads in the Daily News, and I pull these StreetEasy numbers every month because borough medians only tell half the story. The neighborhood tables below are where the real information lives.
This page tracks NYC real estate prices by borough: median sales price, year-over-year change, days on market, and the median asking rent for a 1-bedroom, all from StreetEasy Market Reports as of June 2026. Bookmark it; the tables get refreshed as new monthly data lands.

Related NYC Data Trackers
This tracker is part of a set. The companion pieces go deeper on three questions this page raises:
- Neighborhood price resilience, 2010 to 2026: which NYC neighborhoods held their value across the full data record
- Price cuts and discount tracker: where sellers are trimming asking prices right now
- Days on market tracker: how long listings actually take to sell, neighborhood by neighborhood
Manhattan: $1.23M Median, Volume Concentrated Uptown
Manhattan's median sales price reached $1.23M in June 2026, up 6.5% from a year earlier. Listings took a median 64 days to sell, and the median asking rent for a 1-bedroom hit $4,807, the highest of the five boroughs. The volume story sits uptown: the Upper East Side and Upper West Side recorded 2,657 and 2,257 sales over the trailing 12 months, the two most active neighborhoods in this data, anchored by deep pre-war co-op stock along the Q on Second Avenue and the 1/2/3 on Broadway.
Five Highest-Volume Manhattan Neighborhoods
| Neighborhood | Recorded Sales (12 mo) | Median Price (Jun 2026) | YoY | Days on Market |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Upper East Side | 2,657 | $1.40M | ↑9.8% | 60 |
| Upper West Side | 2,257 | $1.33M | ↑7.2% | 55 |
| Midtown East | 1,536 | $875K | ↓12.4% | 79 |
| Chelsea | 609 | $1.39M | ↑33.8% | 64 |
| Greenwich Village | 486 | $1.98M | ↑33.9% | 52 |

How to Read a Neighborhood Median
A neighborhood median is the median of what sold that month, not a like-for-like price change on the same apartments. When Chelsea prints +33.8% or Greenwich Village +33.9%, the swing mostly reflects which units happened to close: unit mix, new development closings, a handful of large deals in a small sample. Treat big swings as a description of that month's sales, not proof of appreciation.
One more note on the sales counts: they cover recorded deeds from July 2025 through June 2026 and are used here to rank neighborhoods by activity. Deed recording lags closings, so recent months undercount. Don't read them as complete annual totals.
Brooklyn: +10.3%, the Steepest Borough Gain
Brooklyn posted the steepest borough-level gain in June 2026: a $1.07M median, up 10.3% year over year, with a median 52 days on market and a $3,600 median asking rent for a 1-bedroom. Bedford-Stuyvesant led the borough in activity with 656 recorded sales over the trailing 12 months, and its 38 days on market is among the fastest in this table. Williamsburg's +59.8% and Park Slope's +41.9% are the mix effect at work: those medians describe the units that closed, not a sudden repricing of the whole neighborhood. Sheepshead Bay cuts the other way, down 20.1% on the same logic.
Bed-Stuy Leads Brooklyn Activity
| Neighborhood | Recorded Sales (12 mo) | Median Price (Jun 2026) | YoY | Days on Market |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bedford-Stuyvesant | 656 | $1.46M | ↑7.9% | 38 |
| Williamsburg | 646 | $1.95M | ↑59.8% | 57 |
| Sheepshead Bay | 610 | $611K | ↓20.1% | 66 |
| Park Slope | 529 | $2.20M | ↑41.9% | 32 |
| East New York | 478 | $659K | ↓5.8% | 46 |
Source: StreetEasy Market Reports · Data: June 2026
The property stock explains part of the spread. Bedford-Stuyvesant and Park Slope are brownstone Brooklyn, rowhouse blocks with landmarked stretches. Williamsburg's condo inventory runs along the L train and the East River ferry. Sheepshead Bay, on the B and Q lines, brings lower entry prices near the water, and East New York remains one of the lowest-cost points of entry in the borough's sales data.

Schedule a Buyer ConsultationQueens: The Steadiest Line at $715K
Queens is the steadiest line in this month's tracker: a $715K median, up 1.1% year over year, the smallest move of the five boroughs, with 55 days on market and a $3,000 median 1-bedroom asking rent. When you compare NYC real estate prices by borough, Queens keeps offering the widest range under the citywide $900K median. Flushing was the most active neighborhood in the entire borough with 1,246 recorded sales in 12 months, even as its median slipped 12.7% to $550K. Astoria's +43.1% and Jackson Heights' +30.3% carry the same mix caveat as the big Brooklyn swings; read our full Astoria waterfront guide for what's being built along the N and W.
Flushing: Most Active in the Borough
| Neighborhood | Recorded Sales (12 mo) | Median Price (Jun 2026) | YoY | Days on Market |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flushing | 1,246 | $550K | ↓12.7% | 61 |
| Forest Hills | 741 | $365K | ↓15.1% | 59 |
| Astoria | 547 | $1.09M | ↑43.1% | 55 |
| Bayside | 491 | $550K | ↓34.1% | 34 |
| Jackson Heights | 467 | $580K | ↑30.3% | 47 |
Source: StreetEasy Market Reports · Data: June 2026
Two reading notes on this table. Forest Hills' $365K median and Flushing's $550K sit well below the borough-wide $715K; that gap is the mix effect again, driven by which units closed, and it cuts in both directions. And Bayside's 34.1% drop paired with a fast 34 days on market says what sold moved quickly, it just skewed lower-priced. Along the 7 train, Sunnyside gets its own median price and commute breakdown.

The Bronx: Big Swings, Small Samples
The Bronx median rose 2.6% to $585K in June 2026, and its 79 days on market is the longest of the five boroughs. This is also where the sample-size warning matters most. Parkchester printed +74.0%, but that's a jump from a $200K median in June 2025 to $348K in June 2026 on just 239 recorded sales in twelve months: the median of what sold, not a neighborhood doubling in value. Riverdale, the borough's most active neighborhood in this data with 428 recorded sales, posted a steadier +10.1% to $402K, with Metro-North service to Grand Central. StreetEasy publishes June 2026 days on market for 140 of its 176 tracked neighborhoods; our days on market tracker sorts every one of them.
Throgs Neck: 30 Days on Market
| Neighborhood | Recorded Sales (12 mo) | Median Price (Jun 2026) | YoY | Days on Market |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Riverdale | 428 | $402K | ↑10.1% | 59 |
| Parkchester | 239 | $348K | ↑74.0% | 97 |
| Throgs Neck | 205 | $715K | ↓1.0% | 30 |
| Soundview | 180 | $665K | ↓7.6% | 92 |
| Wakefield | 133 | $455K | ↓3.2% | n/a |

Throgs Neck is worth a second look in this table: a $715K median, in line with the borough-wide Queens figure, and just 30 days on market, the fastest of any neighborhood on this page. Priced-right inventory there is not sitting.
Staten Island: Fastest Market at 37 Days
One note before the numbers: StreetEasy does not publish neighborhood-level data for Staten Island, so this section tracks the borough as a whole. In plain terms, the table below covers all of Staten Island, and a neighborhood-by-neighborhood breakdown isn't possible from this source.
The borough-level story is the fastest market in the city. Staten Island's median 37 days on market in June 2026, down from 40 a year earlier, beats every other borough, on a $730K median sales price that rose 1.4%. Two details are worth watching together: for-sale inventory shrank to 263 listings from 305, while the share of listings taking a price cut rose to 12.2% from 10.2%. Tight supply and more price cuts can coexist; our price cuts and discount tracker follows that second number across the city. The sale-to-list ratio held at 97.1%, nearly unchanged from 97.2%, and the housing stock itself, heavy on detached and semi-detached houses served by the ferry and the Staten Island Railway, keeps the borough a different kind of purchase than the other four.

Conclusion: How to Use This Tracker
Every borough moved up in June 2026, but the spread is the story: Brooklyn's +10.3% and Manhattan's +6.5% did the citywide lifting while Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx moved between 1.1% and 2.6%. If you follow NYC real estate prices by borough to time a purchase or a sale, work from the neighborhood tables, not the headline medians, and remember the mix rule from the callout above: one month's median describes one month's closings. For the longer view, our companion piece on neighborhood price resilience from 2010 to 2026 shows which markets held value across the full data record. This series starts in January 2010, so nothing here speaks to earlier cycles.
