As we head into July, Manhattan is entering its typical summer slowdown. New listing activity often eases as people travel, but motivated buyers remain active, and the quieter pace can create opportunities for those prepared to move. On the sales side, May contract activity was ahead of last year, while inventory remained below last year’s levels. Buyers are still weighing interest rates, monthly carrying costs, and overall value, so pricing strategy matters.
As we head toward the close of the spring market, Manhattan real estate continues to show impressive resilience and momentum. Activity remains particularly strong in the luxury sector, where all-cash buyers are highly active and well-priced properties are attracting significant attention. Contract activity above $4 million remains robust, while the $2 million to $5 million market is benefiting from mortgage rates that have eased from last year's highs.
