The Manhattan market held firm in Q2 2025, with key pricing and pace metrics pointing to overall resilience

Median sale price rose nearly 3% from the previous quarter, and sellers retained 95.7% of their asking price, slightly stronger than earlier in the year. Time on market also improved significantly, falling to 63 days, a nearly 39%

drop. These figures reflect the strength of deals signed in late winter and early spring when conditions were more favorable to sellers.

Beneath these solid numbers, however, more current indicators suggest the landscape became increasingly challenging as the quarter progressed Contract activity has come in light this year, with the gap between present and typical seasonal levels slowly widening. At the same time, the ratio of deals signed to listings removed from the

market, a proxy for market sentiment, has cooled meaningfully since March. Together, these trends suggest a summer environment where buyers may have more room to negotiate, even as closed sale prices remain elevated.

Midtown continued its slow but steady recovery in Q2, with pricing trends remaining

firm, despite muted deal activity. Contract

volume trailed other major neighborhoods, and market climate readings hovered near the more challenging end of the spectrum for most of the quarter. While motivated buyers are still

transacting, lingering caution and concerns cont

ue to weigh on the overall pace, keeping Midtown more balanced than bullish.

Downtown closed Q2 on solid footing, with

contract activity peaking in April before slipping slightly into June. While signed deal

volume generally trailed historical norms, it stayed within a productive range. The listing environment, however, became progressively more challenging, with the climate index fading from a strong March to a more neutral tone by

June. As the summer unfolds, pricing strategy and product quality will play an increasingly important role.

Brooklyn closed out the spring season on steady footing.

While the number of closed sales remains light due to the

usual lag in recording, other metrics tell a clearer story.

Time on market improved again, falling to 57 days, and listing discounts narrowed to just 3%, suggesting that well-

priced listings continued to find traction. Sellers still held the upper hand in many negotiations, especially early in the

quarter. But activity never quite reached full throttle.

Contract signings ran below seasonal averages, and by late

spring, the pace of deals had begun to taper off. Real-time

indicators of market sentiment show that the environment for sellers became gradually more challenging as the quarter

progressed Even so, pricing held up, and buyers stayed active for the right homes.
