Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Lower West Side real estate market, updated for May 2026. *
Lower West Side currently leans toward sellers, with a strong market gauge reading of 8 out of 10 and limited homes available. With only 5 active listings and 6 pending sales in March 2026, demand is outpacing supply even as prices and activity adjust.
Home values and asking prices have shifted downward, helping explain some of the recent cooling. The typical home value sits around $232,500, down about 24.27% from last year and 32.61% from the prior month, while the median list price of $264,900 is about 3.67% lower than in February.
Listings are taking a bit longer to find buyers, yet sellers still hold an edge. Homes spent a median of 45 days on the market in March, about 34.33% longer than the previous month but still roughly 10% faster than a year ago, and about two-thirds of sales closed above the asking price with an average sale-to-list ratio near 0.99. Inventory has dropped sharply, down 16.67% month over month and 58.33% year over year, and projections suggest inventory could slip to 4 homes and the median list price to about $259,850 in April while typical values could ease toward $176,250. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these changing numbers can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local Lower West Side agent who understands both sides of the deal.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
