What this means if you're selling in New York

A median sale price of $899,000, up just 0.5% year-over-year, describes a market that is stable rather than surging. Homes took about 58 days to sell, four days longer than the 54 days a year ago, which gives buyers a bit more time to decide and tells sellers that pricing in line with recent nearby sales matters more than aiming high and waiting.

Frequently asked questions

Is New York a buyer's or seller's market right now?

The numbers sit closer to balanced. The median sale price is $899,000, only 0.5% higher than a year ago, and the typical home takes about 58 days to sell versus 54 last year. Demand is steady, but the longer time on market means buyers are not being forced into rushed decisions.

How long does it take to sell a home in New York?

Over the three months ending August 2026, the median home spent about 58 days on the market, up from 54 days a year earlier. Individual timelines vary a lot by borough, building type and price point, so a well-priced home in a high-demand pocket can move faster than the citywide figure.

How accurate is the New York median for my neighborhood?

The $899,000 median covers all of New York, and values can differ sharply between neighborhoods, blocks and home types. Treat it as a market-wide reference point, not a price for your property.
