New York, NY 10028 Real Estate Market Report

ZIP Code: 10028
Report Date: April 2026
Market Temperature: NEUTRAL
Scope: Single-Family Residential (SFR) listings and comps only


Executive Overview

As of April 2026, the real estate market in New York, NY (ZIP: 10028) showcases a median sold price of $6,800,000, reflecting a robust market despite the 389 days on market for properties. This indicates a slower sales velocity, suggesting that while high-value properties are still transacting, the time taken to close deals is extended. The neighborhood has experienced an upward trend in prices, which may indicate a resilient demand amidst the current market conditions.

The overall market temperature is classified as neutral, which implies a balance between supply and demand. However, the presence of elevated inventory levels relative to sales activity suggests that buyers may have more options available, potentially leading to pricing friction. The median price per square foot stands at $2,507.27, indicating sustained value in this premium market segment. Furthermore, the rental market remains strong with a median market rent of $4,980, reflecting increasing rents due to persistent inventory shortages in the rental sector.
