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. This page is the reference table for NYC days on market: current pace by borough and property type, the long-run trend back to 2010, the seasonal calendar month by month, and the fastest and slowest neighborhoods.

Since I started on the floor in November 2001, days on market has been the first number I pull before pricing a listing. Pricing is marketing, and days on market is the market grading the price. This tracker is the data half of that conversation. The strategy half lives in the seasonal guides on when to sell an NYC apartment and when to buy one.

What Days on Market Measures

Days on market (DoM) is listing time on market. The clock starts the day a listing goes live and stops when it leaves the market, whether it goes into contract or gets pulled. It does not count the contract-to-close stretch: a co-op that finds its buyer in 54 days still has board review and closing ahead. Every figure below comes from the StreetEasy Market Reports, June 2026 edition, which track the median listing time each month.

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

Staten Island at 37 days is not just the fastest borough; it is running 22 days under its own decade norm, the largest gap in the city. Manhattan is the opposite case: 64 days is the slowest absolute pace of the five, yet 11 days under its 75-day norm, the biggest improvement after Staten Island. Brooklyn repeated its 52-day June exactly.

The Bronx needs both endpoints quoted. Its 79-day June 2026 reading looks like a sharp slowdown from 51 days in June 2025, but last June was the unusual number, well under the borough's 83-day norm. Against the decade average, June 2026 still came in 4 days fast.

Speed is half the borough picture; prices are tracked 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 while condos take 89, a 34-day spread. Staten Island single-family homes are the fastest segment in the table at 36 days; the borough's co-op figure is not available in the source data, so that cell reads n/a.

The Long-Run Trend: 2010 to 2026

Annual averages put June 2026 in context; the 2026 column covers January through June.

Two things stand out. 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. And the slow years are the crisis years: 2010 carries the post-crash overhang, with Queens at 123 days and the Bronx at 126, while 2020 carries the pandemic freeze, including Manhattan's 109, its slowest of the years shown. The fastest full year remains 2015, at 54 days citywide.

Staten Island's 2010 average is n/a; the source series covers only 3 of that year's 12 months, below the minimum for an annual figure. Its move from 92 days in 2015 to 47 in 2024, 2025, and the 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

Averaging each calendar month across 2016 through 2025 gives the city's seasonal rhythm. All 12 months carry a full ten years of data.

April is the fastest month at 58 days and January the slowest at 101, a 43-day spread on the same citywide series. May sits right behind at 60. March and June both round to 66 (unrounded, June edges it, 66.2 to 66.25), so the spring window genuinely runs March through June. The slow quarter is December through February, and September's 81 is the autumn wrinkle: slower than either August or October, worth knowing before a post-Labor Day listing.

Fastest and Slowest Neighborhoods, June 2026

Of 176 neighborhoods in the source data, 140 have a June 2026 reading and 114 clear the ranking threshold: a value in at least 10 of the last 12 months plus June 2026. Staten Island reports at the borough level only, so its neighborhoods cannot appear in these tables.

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

Read the slow list with the sample-size caveat in mind. Bedford Park's 394 days is a thin-sample median: a small pool of listings with a few long-sitting units can produce an extreme reading, and the same goes for the other tail values. The rankings are correct per the source, but a single neighborhood's extreme says as much about limited inventory that month as about the market, and can swing sharply month to month.

What This Means If You Are Selling

NYC days on market is a seller's metric: it prices your decisions in time. Three numbers above do most of the work. The 43-day spread between April at 58 and January at 101 is the cost of listing into the wrong season. Your segment matters as much as your borough: citywide single-family homes at 50 days run 11 days faster than condos at 61. And your borough's June median, 52 in Brooklyn, 55 in Queens, 64 in Manhattan, is the benchmark your listing gets judged against; every week past it moves you toward a price conversation.

My own pricing calendar follows this table: aggressive in January through March, ahead of the fast spring window, and conservative in August through October as the market slows toward winter. The numbers set the strategy, not the other way around. The tactical playbook for timing a sale is in the best time to sell an NYC apartment. And when a listing does outrun its borough median, the next numbers that matter are tracked in the price cuts and discounts tracker.

What This Means If You Are Buying

Buyers read the same tables backwards. The months when listings sit longest, January at 101 days, February at 95, December at 83, are when sellers see the fewest competing offers, which is where negotiating room comes from. A listing that has already outlasted its borough median, say 64 days in Manhattan or 79 in the Bronx, is a data-backed opening for a conversation about price.

Two cautions. Speed cuts both ways: in a 37-day borough like Staten Island, or a 16-day pocket like Gerritsen Beach, holding out for a discount usually means losing the home. And a long-sitting listing is not automatically a bargain; sometimes the market is commenting on the price, sometimes on the property itself. The month-by-month buying strategy is in the best time to buy an NYC apartment.
