Four of NYC's five boroughs posted year-over-year price gains in July 2026: Queens rose 14.1% to an $810K median, Brooklyn 12.4% to $1.15M, the Bronx 3.1% to $670K, and Manhattan 0.7% to $1.23M. Staten Island slipped 1.3% to $680K, and the citywide median sales price rose 8.7% to $935K. I've been selling NYC real estate since 4-line ads in the Daily News, and these StreetEasy numbers are the baseline I start from.

How to Read a Neighborhood Median

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: $1.23M Median, Volume Concentrated Uptown

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.

Five Highest-Volume Manhattan Neighborhoods

Neighborhood Recorded Sales (12 mo) Median Price (Jul 2026) YoY Days on Market
Upper East Side 2,653 $1.31M ↓1.0% 76
Upper West Side 2,266 $1.25M ↓5.7% 64
Midtown East 1,520 $795K ↓14.1% 86
Chelsea 592 $1.41M ↑1.1% 72.5
Greenwich Village 547 $2.25M ↑55.2% 73

Brooklyn: +12.4% to $1.15M

Brooklyn's median rose 12.4% to $1.15M, with 55 median days on market against 63 a year earlier and a $3,650 median 1-bedroom asking rent. Bedford-Stuyvesant led the borough in activity with 669 recorded sales over 12 months. Williamsburg's +46.5% to $1.91M came with 95 days on market, a reminder that a one-month median reflects which units closed.

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.

Staten Island Metrics, July 2026 vs July 2025

Median sales price $680K $689K
Days on market 48.5 50.5

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.
