Research · Midyear 2026
First-half activity remained below the public reporting threshold.
Fewer than five qualifying Sunnyside Gardens townhouse transfers were recorded from January 1 through June 30, 2026, compared with nine during the same period in 2025. The result describes transaction volume only. It is not evidence of a change in property values.
Read the signal carefully
What this record can—and cannot—say.
It describes pace.
The first-half record shows a quieter period for completed transfers. That is the conclusion supported by the public count.
It does not establish a value trend.
The group is too small to support a reliable median, price-per-square-foot benchmark, property-use comparison, court comparison or house-type comparison.
Individual houses still require context.
In a small market, differences in scale, condition, documented use, outdoor relationship and transaction terms can materially change the meaning of an individual sale.
Method and boundary
Why the detail stops here.
When a reporting group contains fewer than five observations, the Guide does not publish price statistics or property-level components. Addresses, owner information, exact transfer dates, parcel identifiers, individual property descriptions, court rankings and address-to-house-type matches are not included.
This boundary protects residents and avoids presenting a handful of readily identifiable homes as a market trend.
Research method
This note reviews qualifying deeds recorded for the completed period January 1 through June 30, 2026. NYC Department of Finance rolling-sales data and ACRIS records are reconciled before inclusion. Nominal, partial-interest, known non-arm’s-length and out-of-scope transfers are excluded.

Public-record limits
Public tax and building records are descriptive sources. They do not independently verify current legal use, condition, interior layout or alteration history.
Lauren’s note
Context before conclusion.
“Sunnyside Gardens is a small, uneven market. A half-year count can describe pace, but it cannot explain the value of a particular home. The public research stops before individual properties become the dataset; a careful property analysis remains private.”
