Manhattan Real Estate Q4 2025 Results Over Rhetoric

Manhattan Real Estate Q4 2025: Results Over Rhetoric

The Q4 2025 Manhattan real estate numbers are in — and the data tells a far clearer story than the headlines.

In this market update, I break down what actually happened in Manhattan during the fourth quarter of 2025, why this was the strongest Q4 in three years, and what seven consecutive quarters of contract growth reveal about buyer confidence heading into 2026.

You’ll learn:

• Why Manhattan just posted its strongest Q4 in three years
• What rising sales and faster deal velocity signal about demand
• Why inventory is increasing — but not where buyers want it
• Are Manhattan prices going up or down?
• Why the market behaves differently above and below $3 million
• Why three-bedroom inventory is becoming a quiet constraint
• Why more buyers are choosing co-ops over condos
• What the neighborhood data reveals across Manhattan
• What will actually matter in Manhattan real estate in 2026

This analysis is based on Corcoran’s Q4 2025 Manhattan Market Report and my on-the-ground experience advising buyers and sellers across Manhattan.
