Ten-Year Research

The decade divides into two chapters: 87 qualifying transfers in 2016–2020 and 72 in 2021–2025. The recent chapter carried a 19.6% higher median, but its smaller count and property mix remain essential context.

A quieter market at a higher price level.

The recent five years recorded fewer transfers, yet both median sale price and median price per square foot moved higher.

The decade, distilled

Three findings.

  1. 01 · Price level

    The market reset higher. With 15 fewer transfers, the recent chapter carried a 19.6% higher median and a 7.7% higher median price per square foot.

  2. 02 · Property mix

    The shift was broad, not uniform. Every reportable property-use category moved higher; the recent 3–4-family result remains a limited sample of six.

  3. 03 · Architecture

    The three largest LPC samples moved higher. I/I′ (n7) and R/R′ (n6) also clear the decade threshold, but both remain limited samples.

Methodology, definitions and privacy

The analysis reconciles qualifying NYC Department of Finance and ACRIS deed transfers completed from 2016 through 2025. Prices are nominal. Reported property categories use tax-class data as a descriptive proxy and do not verify current legal use.

LPC families combine mirrored primed and unprimed variants and describe façade and fenestration rather than floor plan, condition or value rank. Cells below five are withheld. Subgroup samples of five to nine are labeled limited. No addresses, owners, parcel identifiers, exact transfer dates, court rankings or address-to-type matches appear.
