MARKET SUMMARY

Quarter-over-quarter, the total sales volume of Queens sponsor units decreased by 13.35%, from $257,170,075 in 2Q23 to $222,843,811 this past quarter. The total number of sales decreased by 10.83%, from 277 total sales in 2Q23 to 247 sales this past quarter.

Quarter-over-quarter, the median price per square foot decreased by 1.7% from $1,298 psf to $1,276 psf. In that same span, the median price paid for a Queens sponsor unit decreased by 7.5%, from $832,524 to $770,000. Year-over-year, the median price paid per square foot increased from $1,203 in 3Q22 to $1,276 in 3Q23, while the median sales price decreased by 12.0% from $875,302 to $770,000. This annual price decrease was attributed to less sales from higher priced areas like Long Island City.
