As of October 2024, the median sale price of a home in New York City was $800,000, marking a 2.6% increase compared to the same period last year. This rise is accompanied by a slight decrease in the number of days homes spend on the market, down to 62 days from 106 days last year.
The demand for homes remains robust, with 2,763 homes sold in October 2024, although this is slightly down from the 2,766 homes sold in the same month last year. The sale-to-list price ratio has also seen a minor increase, standing at 98.1%, up 0.2 percentage points year-over-year.
