New York, NY 10018 Real Estate Market Report

ZIP Code: 10018
Report Date: April 2026
Market Temperature: NEUTRAL
Scope: This ZIP code has limited single-family residential (SFR) inventory. Metrics are based primarily on other residential property types (e.g. condos/townhomes) as a proxy, so treat SFR conclusions as directional rather than precise.


Executive Overview

The median sold price in New York, NY (ZIP: 10018) is currently $5,461,875, reflecting a significant indicator of market value and transaction activity. Although the area has experienced a year-over-year decrease in home values, the broader New York City market forecasts suggest controlled growth moving forward. This indicates a potential stabilization as the market adjusts to changing economic conditions.

Transaction activity appears moderate, with elevated inventory levels suggesting a shift towards a more balanced market. The median days on market stands at 481 days, indicating slower sales velocity and potential pricing friction. As rental demand remains exceptionally strong, pushing the median market rent to $4,980, some renters may be incentivized to transition to homeownership, further influencing market dynamics.
