NYC Days on Market Tracker 2026: How Fast Homes Sell by Borough

All five NYC boroughs are selling faster than their 10-year June norms. Citywide, the median listing spent 58 days on market in June 2026, 8 days under the 66-day June average, and Staten Island runs fastest at 37 days, 22 under its norm.

I have worked NYC real estate since November 2001. Strategy is in the guides on when to sell an NYC apartment and when to buy one.

What Days on Market Measures

Days on market (DoM) starts the day a listing goes live and stops when it leaves the market, whether it goes into contract or gets pulled. It excludes contract-to-close, so a co-op that finds its buyer in 54 days still has board review ahead. Every figure below comes from the StreetEasy Market Reports, June 2026 edition.

Days on Market by Borough: June 2026 vs the 10-Year Norm

Staten Island at 37 days is the fastest borough, 22 days under its decade norm, the largest gap in the city. Manhattan's 64 days is the slowest of the five, yet 11 days under its 75-day norm. Brooklyn repeated its 52-day June.

The Bronx's 79-day June 2026 reading is up from 51 days in June 2025, but last June was the outlier, well under the borough's 83-day norm. Against that norm, June 2026 still came in 4 days fast.

Prices are in the 5-borough price tracker.

Days on Market by Property Type, June 2026

Citywide, single-family homes move fastest at 50 days, with co-ops at 59 and condos at 61. The widest gap inside one borough is the Bronx, where single-family homes sell in 55 days and condos take 89. Staten Island single-family homes are the fastest segment at 36 days.

The Long-Run Trend: 2010 to 2026

NYC days on market has tightened four years running: 77 in 2023, 75 in 2024, 71 in 2025, and 68 across the first half of 2026. The slow years are the crisis years: 2010 (post-crash), with Queens at 123 days and the Bronx at 126, and 2020 (pandemic), including Manhattan's 109. The fastest full year remains 2015, at 54 days citywide.

Staten Island's 2010 average is n/a because the series covers only 3 of that year's 12 months. Its move from 92 days in 2015 to 47 in 2024, 2025, and 2026 year to date is the sharpest acceleration of any borough. For how prices behaved over the same stretch, see the neighborhood price resilience tracker, 2010 to 2026.

The Seasonal Clock: NYC Days on Market by Calendar Month

April is the fastest month at 58 days and January the slowest at 101, a 43-day spread. May follows at 60, and March and June both round to 66. December through February is the slow quarter, and September's 81 is slower than either August or October.

Fastest and Slowest Neighborhoods, June 2026

Of 176 neighborhoods in the source data, 140 have a June 2026 reading and 114 have a value in at least 10 of the last 12 months. Staten Island reports only at the borough level.

Gerritsen Beach in Brooklyn is the fastest at 16 days. Five of the ten fastest are in Queens, led by Little Neck at 19 and College Point at 22; Hamilton Heights at 26 is the lone Manhattan entry.

Bedford Park's 394 days is a thin-sample median: a few long-sitting units in a small pool produce an extreme reading that can swing sharply month to month.

Cross-Check: Contracts per Active Listing, October 1, 2026

The RLS feed does not report days on market, but it does show how many listings are already in contract against how many are still active. That ratio is a second read on pace: the higher it is, the faster inventory is being absorbed.

The ordering matches the StreetEasy days-on-market table: Queens, at 55 days in June, has the most contracts per listing, and Manhattan, at 64 days, the fewest. Manhattan's 6,172 active listings against 2,781 closings in 90 days is the deepest inventory of the three, which is why a Manhattan listing has more competing supply to outlast.

What This Means If You Are Selling

The 43-day spread between April at 58 and January at 101 is the cost of listing into the wrong season. Your borough's June median, 52 in Brooklyn, 55 in Queens, 64 in Manhattan, is the benchmark for your listing.

What This Means If You Are Buying

Buyers read the same tables in reverse. Listings sit longest in January (101 days), February (95), and December (83). A listing that has outlasted its borough median, 64 days in Manhattan or 79 in the Bronx, is a data-backed opening for a price conversation.

In a 37-day borough like Staten Island, or a 16-day pocket like Gerritsen Beach, holding out for a discount risks losing the home. Month-by-month buying strategy: the best time to buy an NYC apartment.
