Q1 was the strongest first quarter Manhattan and Brooklyn have seen since 2022 — but the headline numbers need context.
Median sales price climbed 8% year-over-year, but that figure is doing some heavy lifting: luxury activity above $3M was up 10%, while median price-per-square-foot only moved about 2%. So the mix shifted, not the underlying values.
• Well-priced, move-in-ready homes are trading at ask in 79 days — the fastest Q1 pace in 8 years
• Signed contracts were down 11% YoY, indicative of where Q2 is headed
• Brooklyn was more susceptible to Iran War-related disruption — flat pricing, softer sales, and looser inventory (albeit loosening from all-time lows).
Full breakdown in the video. Leave questions in the comments!

Architectural Oddity: Edward Durell Stone Townhouse at 130 East 64th St
Check out one of the most controversial townhouses in Upper East Side history...
In 1956, architect Edward Durell Stone — the man behind MOMA — bought a conventional 1878 brownstone, tore off the entire façade, pushed the building forward to the lot line, and refaced it with floor-to-ceiling glass shielded by a sculptural concrete grille of intersecting circles and squares.
Neighbors hated it. Architects fought about it for decades. When Stone's widow tried to remove the deteriorating screen in 1987, the Landmarks Commission slapped her with a violation — and Robert A.M. Stern personally argued to preserve it. The screen was rebuilt in 1999 and the house is now part of the Upper East Side Historic District. It last sold in 2015 (looks normal on the interior!) and today it's home to Gladstone Gallery.
Which side are you on — modernist masterpiece or block-ruining eyesore?
