Current Mortgage Rate Context

Market-level mortgage rate comparison for this area:

Current 30-year fixed mortgage rates in New York are approximately 6.46%, reflecting a stable market environment for property owners in this area compared to earlier 2026 trends.

Note: Interest rate comparisons provide market context. The existing "Interest Rate Pressure" metric above shows the qualitative market impact.


Key Findings

  1. The primary market indicator, the median sold price, stands at 6,800,000, which establishes a high-value baseline for recent transactions and suggests premium pricing for SFR and condominium assets in 10028; representative recent sale pricing should guide underwriting and comps.

  2. Sales velocity is slow: the median days on market is 419, which suggests extended marketing periods and pricing friction that may indicate a neutral to slightly deliberate buyer response rather than rapid turnover.

  3. Price density supports the high-dollar market: the median price per square foot is 2,548, reinforcing that per-unit area valuation remains strong even as transaction pacing slows; pair this with targeted pricing strategies to reduce time on market.

  4. Rental markets are strengthening while financing pressure is elevated: the median market rent is 4,600 and rent is trending up, offering income-side support, but interest rate pressure is elevated with current 30-year fixed mortgage rates near 6.46%, which may constrain buyer purchasing power and lengthen deal cycles.

Current Mortgage Rate Context

Market-level mortgage rate comparison for this area:

Current 30-year fixed mortgage rates in New York are approximately 6.46%, reflecting a stable market environment for property owners in this area compared to earlier 2026 trends.

Note: Interest rate comparisons provide market context. The existing "Interest Rate Pressure" metric above shows the qualitative market impact.


Key Findings

  1. median sold price: $3,168,500 — This figure represents the representative recent sale level in 10028 and, together with a notably long median days on market of 388, suggests slower sales velocity and possible pricing friction; balanced market dynamics appear to be in effect between buyers and sellers.

  2. median listing price: $3,600,000 exceeds the median sold price of $3,168,500, which may indicate persistent seller price expectations above realized transaction prices and potential negotiation leverage for informed buyers; pricing gap may require sellers to adjust expectations to match buyer willingness to pay.

  3. median price per square foot: $1,791 combined with the observed price trends shows prices are trending up year-over-year, supporting measured appreciation while maintaining a neutral market temperature; this suggests cautious confidence for long-term holders.

  4. median market rent: $5,195 and a rent year-over-year trend that is up point to continued strength in the rental market, while elevated interest rate pressure (current 30-year fixed mortgage rates ~6.46%) elevates financing costs and may temper transaction volume despite the rental upside.
