Manhattan $5M+ Luxury Sales: April 2026

A large green lawn with pink cherry blossoms in the foreground, trees in the middle, and tall modern skyscrapers—hallmarks of Manhattan luxury sales—rising under a clear blue sky in the background.

Manhattan’s luxury market remains active despite uncertainty.

Inventory continued to drop, marketing times declined, and average price per square foot increased.

April 2026 saw 86 contracts over $5M, up 9% year-over-year.

However, $5M+ contract activity declined 9% month-over-month.

Active $5M+ listings fell to a 12-year April low.

The 862 active listings represented a 14% year-over-year decline.

Days on market fell by nearly a month year-over-year.

The 13% annual drop was due to fewer contracts with marketing timelines longer than six months compared to a year ago.

Average asking price per square foot rose 13% year-over-year to $3,143.

This was the seventh consecutive month with an average ask of more than $3,000 per square foot.
