2Q26 Manhattan
The Corcoran Report Buyer demand proved more resilient than many expected. Signed contracts increased 5% YOY to 3,477 deals – the eighth annual increase in nine quarters and a five-year high.

Inventory remains the defining story of the Manhattan market. New development launches fell 37% YOY to just 160 units – roughly half the historical second-quarter average.

Pricing continues to strengthen despite broader economic headwinds. Average sale price climbed 6%, extending Manhattan’s streak of annual price appreciation to six consecutive quarters.

The market has become increasingly segmented. Affordability pressures continue to weigh on lower price points, with sales under $2 million declining 11% YOY.

“If this quarter proved anything, it’s that Manhattan buyers remain remarkably confident — but the market is also beginning to show the early effects of the new pied-à-terre tax. While overall contracts climbed to a four-year high, activity above $5 million has softened since the tax was announced, with the sharpest pullback at the ultra-luxury end of the market, suggesting some buyers are already recalibrating as they assess the new landscape." – Pamela Liebman, Corcoran President & CEO
