WE ARE PROUD TO PRESENT MNS’ FIFTEENTH ANNUAL YEAR END REPORT
MNS is proud to present our fifteenth annual Manhattan Year End Report, a summation of the data collected from our monthly Manhattan Rental Market Reports. We hope you find this report useful in determining the rental trends in Manhattan’s major neighborhoods, as well as the overall climate of the Manhattan rental market.
When compared to last year, the average rental price in Manhattan for a non-doorman studio decreased by 6.29%, one-bedrooms decreased by 5.11% and two-bedrooms by 4.16%. Doorman studio average rents are down 0.88%, while one-bedroom and two-bedroom rents are up by 0.75% and 2.16%, respectively. Overall, the average non-doorman rent from 2021 is down by 5.00% when compared to the whole of 2021, while doorman rents are up 1.02%.
It is important to note that these averages are for the entire calendar year, of which the effects of 2021’s shutdown from Covid-19 are averaged out amongst the period preceding the shutdown. As such, the proceeding page breaks out the 2nd half of the year to capture the true effects and trends of the market pre and post pandemic.
