Sales volume, pricing, and inventory across NYC residential and commercial real estate in 2026.
NYC sees roughly 40,000–50,000 ACRIS deed transfers per year (excluding intra-family transfers and corporate restructurings). Brooklyn and Queens together account for the majority of unit volume; Manhattan accounts for the majority of transaction dollars.
The NYC market splits into clearly different segments by property type:
Inventory has rebuilt from the 2021–2022 lows. Days on market in residential have stretched back toward pre-pandemic norms (60–90 days median, longer at the top of each segment).
Properties with high rent-stabilized share (visible via DHCR registration history and HPD data) trade at meaningfully different cap rates than free-market properties. The 2019 HSTPA fundamentally changed the math — vacancy decontrol is gone and IAI/MCI recoveries are capped.
