May 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026).
Compared to a year ago, Manhattan’s typical home value has climbed about 9 percent, highlighting solid price appreciation even as conditions favor buyers. Listing inventory is up from winter levels, with more than 7,300 active listings in May and months of supply rising roughly 45 percent year over year, pointing to more options and less urgency than in past cycles.
In the latest monthly snapshot, prices continued to push higher, with the typical home value increasing more than 3 percent from April while the median list price ticked up modestly. At the same time, fewer new listings came to market, down about a quarter month over month, which may help keep upward pressure on values despite the overall buyer’s market backdrop.
Sales activity shows a mixed picture, with homes sold down nearly 13 percent from last year but pending sales up almost 14 percent year over year, suggesting buyers are still writing contracts even if closings lag. Homes are taking longer to sell than a year ago, yet the median days on market fell sharply from April, and nearly 14 percent of sales closed above list price with sale-to-list ratios holding near 99 percent. Whether you are a buyer looking to navigate increased inventory or a seller aiming to price strategically, Agent Pronto can connect you with a Manhattan agent who understands these shifting dynamics.
Manhattan offers its residents a dynamic blend of culture, opportunity, and community, featuring world-class arts, parks, dining, and a vibrant yet accessible urban life.
Manhattan is a densely populated urban island at the core of New York City, known for its extensive public transit, walkability, and proximity to major employers, universities, and cultural institutions. Express subway and bus routes connect neighborhoods like the Upper West Side, Harlem, and Washington Heights to Midtown and Lower Manhattan, while regional access comes via Grand Central Terminal and Penn Station.
Daily life is shaped by parks, waterfronts, and local amenities. Residents enjoy Central Park’s trails and recreation facilities, managed by the Central Park Conservancy, as well as the Hudson River Greenway along Hudson River Park. Neighborhoods offer distinct retail and dining options, from the galleries of Chelsea to the historic streets of Lower Manhattan, all within reach of schools, libraries, and cultural destinations like the New York Public Library.
Housing options span prewar co-ops, full-service condos, and walk-up rentals, each with its own rules, fees, and expectations. Understanding building policies, co-op boards, and neighborhood-level pricing is critical to planning a move or sale.
A knowledgeable local agent can explain nuances by block and building, navigate competitive bidding, and coordinate inspections and timelines. Agent Pronto connects you with the right Manhattan real estate professional so both buying and selling become more efficient and far less stressful.

“I had an incredible experience working with Samuel Okine for my first NYC apartment. From start to finish, he was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping me find the perfect place. Sam's guidance made the entire process stress-free, and I couldn't be happier with my new home. I highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional agent in New York City!”
“I am glad that I contacted Agent Pronto, so I got to connect with Martha Gaffney. It has been a great pleasure working with her and she worked really hard to get me a house which is well worth it. Thanks Martha and thanks Agent Pronto for the opportunity. ”
“Kevin was very professional and knowledged. He assisted me so much throughout this stressful buying process and worked in any way possible to decrease the load on my shoulders. I would recommend Kevin to my family and friends.”
“Travis is the best. He loves his job.”
“Andrea was the best realtor agent. From the start, she understood the difficulty of the seller in making this big decision to let go of the home. She listened and supported me all throughout this journey. She is not only an agent, but she became like a family that cares to make the transition easier. For the seller, you need a trusted realtor who also respects your property and cares about your emotional well-being. Up to the end, Andrea was there to offer her services. I highly recommend Andrea and if I have the power, she should receive an 'Excellent Service' award. Thank you, Andrea, for your services and support!”
“Kay answered all our question and was always there when we needed her. She always made herself available. Thank you! ”
“As a first-time home seller I felt a bit overwhelmed. Agent Pronto referred me to two realty teams, one of which, Charlie and Amy Chang, turned out to be exactly what I needed and much more than I could have expected. Extremely grateful for the referral.”
“We thought Hermi Aquino was an exceptional realtor—one we recommend to others without hesitation.”
“Daniel had a clear strategy, was extremely professional in all regards, and sold our apartment after the first open house. After having a different broker for six months with no results, I am sure it was Daniel’s excellent ideas and execution of the marketing that moved the apartment so quickly. Daniel is clearly very competent, and consistently courteous and professional, always making us feel completely at ease through this emotional and often stressful process. He is prompt and clear in his correspondence and always patient when we are not. I would highly recommend him to anyone.”
“The experience was great, quick, and easy. The match was perfect.”
