MANHATTAN
Manhattan sale prices saw healthy growth in the
second quarter, though the growth rate was roughly
half the 2014 annual rate.
Page 4
Sluggish inventory growth in Manhattan kept prices
at an all-time high, especially as the number of co-op
listings decline.
Page 6
Tight inventory and resilient demand, both domestic
and international, meant that the typical Manhattan
homeseller received nearly 100 percent of initial asking
price in the second quarter.
Page 8
Manhattan rent prices inched up as the busy summer
season approaches - led by strong price growth among
studio apartments.

Welcome to the StreetEasy Quarterly Market Report
BROOKLYN
Brooklyn sale prices reached an all-time high, led
by double digit growth in the borough’s Northwest
submarket.
Page 12
Homes priced in the top price tier spent the shortest
amount of time on the market in Brooklyn, highlighting
strong buyer demand for newer and more luxurious
apartments.
Page 15
Bidding wars were the rule and not the exception in
some neighborhoods in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park
submarket.
Page 16
Brooklyn rent prices eased slightly from last year,
though lagging income growth makes Brooklyn’s rent
burden the greatest among all boroughs.

We’re pleased to introduce our new Quarterly Market Report , powered by New York City’s largest and most comprehensive database of sales and rental
listings. Here you will find analysis and an extensive range of metrics for the sales and rental markets in Manhattan and Brooklyn in the second quarter of
2015. Our team of researchers highlighted a few notable trends in each borough from Q2 data:

While Manhattan home prices reached a record-high in June, annual
price growth among resales was roughly a quarter less than the 2014
rate at the close of the second quarter. The median resale price of all
Manhattan homes rose 5.8 percent year-over-year in June to a median
of $936,683, according to StreetEasy’s Manhattan Price Index (MPI).
Monthly price growth across the borough has slowed for 17 consecutive
months.
The key market force driving high prices in Manhattan is constrained
inventory. Although the number of for-sale listings available
throughout the quarter rose by 14.1 percent from the previous quarter
in an expected seasonal boost, inventory was just 0.1 percent above
last year’s total. The lack of significant growth of available units was
due in large part to a 3.1 percent decline in co-op listings. Listings for
condos and townhouses in Manhattan managed to grow by 3.0 percent
and 11.0 percent from last year, respectively.
SELLERS GET SMART WITH PRICING STRATEGIES
Key price indicators in the second quarter show that many Manhattan
sellers are effective with their pricing strategies. The share of all listings
that saw a price cut during the second quarter declined to 25.9 percent
from 32.0 percent last year and the size of the median discount fell
slightly to 6.25 percent from 6.51 percent in the second quarter of 2014.
The median sale-to-list price ratio in Manhattan rose to 98.9 percent,
an increase of 0.5 percent from last year, meaning sellers were able to
receive most if not all of their initial asking price in the second quarter.
CONTRACT ACTIVITY STRONG IN Q2
As is typical for second quarters, the total number of pending sales
saw healthy growth from the previous quarter, increasing by 25.3
percent to 3,338, which was 0.8 percent greater than last year. The
fact that pending sales volume increased since last year despite price
growth and short supply is a testament to the strength of domestic
and international demand for Manhattan real estate. Homes that went
into contract in the second quarter spent a median time of just 44 days
on the market, one day longer than last year which itself was a record
low according to StreetEasy data. Eagerness to lock in a low mortgage
interest rate and fierce competition among other buyers are the key
drivers behind the resiliency of contract activity and near-historic short
time on market.
LOW VACANCY FUELS HIGHER RENT PRICES
According to government figures, Manhattan’s rental vacancy rate was
just 4.1 percent in 2014. The result is fierce competition among renters,
higher rents, and a growing affordability problem for many Manhattan
residents as rent price growth outpaces income growth. The median
asking rent in the second quarter increased by 1.5 percent from last
year to $3,300, a new record high according to StreetEasy data, which
goes back to 2008. Studios saw the greatest increase in price, with
median asking rent increasing by 5.1 percent to $2,495, while the
median asking price for 1 bedroom units was unchanged at $3,200.
The most expensive submarket was Downtown, with a median asking
rent of $3,700, followed by Midtown ($3,500), Upper West Side ($3,350),
Upper East Side ($2,850) and Upper Manhattan ($2,150).
Supply shortgage fuels high prices in Manhattan, but price growth slows in Q2

Although homes in Upper Manhattan had the lowest median resale
price, they posted the highest annual growth rate at 9.6 percent -
nearly twice the Manhattan-wide rate.
Prices are expected to rise yet again in July, according to StreetEasy’s
Manhattan Price Forecaset, which calls for the median resale price to
increase 0.4 percent from June to $940,217.

Key price indicators point to a strong seller’s market A smaller share of Manhattan homes saw
a price cut in Q2 - and the typical price
cut for those homes was smaller than last
year. The share of all homes available
for sale that saw a price cut fell to 25.9
percent from 32.0 percent a year ago,
while the median discount fell slightly to
6.25 percent from 6.51 percent a year ago.

MANHATTAN SALES INVENTORY
1 Inventory data based on sales listings of condos, co-ops, townhouses, and single family homes available on StreetEasy.2 Price tier shares are based on total number of all Manhattan homes available during Q2 2015. Bottom tier is comprised of homes priced up to $673,000; middle tier are homes priced between $673,000 and $1.46 million; top tier is homes priced above $1.46 million.
StreetEasy Quarterly Market Report Q2 2015 | PAGE 6
Homes snatched up quickly as demand exceeds supplyLow supply in Manhattan and a seasonal
boost to buying activity meant that
available homes went into contract
quickly in Q2. The typical home spent
just 44 days on the market , one day more
than last year and 15 days shorter than
last quarter. Co-ops spent the least time
on the market, typically lasting only 41
days, while condos took a median time of
49 days to enter contract.
How is time on the market measured?
The number of days from the original
listing on StreetEasy to when it enters
contract. After a buyer enters contract on a
unit, it is pulled from the market and is no
longer available to other buyers - creating
a logical end point to “days on market.”

apartments saw the greatest increase in
the last year, rising 5.1 percent to $2,495.

Manhattan sellers get more of initial asking price in Q2Manhattan home sellers were able to
get more of their initial asking price
in the final sale price in Q2 as supply
continues to lag behind strong domestic
and international demand. The typical
Manhattan home sold for 98.9 percent of
the intial asking price set by the seller, an
increase of 0.5 percent from last year. The
Upper West Side and Upper Manhattan
submarkets saw the highest sale-to-list
price ratios, both at 100 percent, while
the Midtown submarket saw the greatest
annual growth at 0.8 percent.
StreetEasy Quarterly Market Report Q2 2015 | PAGE 10
The median resale value of all Brooklyn homes reached an all-time high
at the close of the second quarter according to StreetEasy’s Brooklyn
Price Index (BPI), although annual price growth slowed to less than half
the 2014 annual growth rate. While the resale value of Brooklyn homes
grew by 10.1 percent in 2014, the year-over-year price growth in June
2015 slowed to 4.1 percent.
The small but rising number of homes available for sale has helped
to slow price growth in Brooklyn. Although the number of homes
available for sale throughout the second quarter jumped 17.4 percent
from last year to 5,262, it was still less than half (44.6 percent) of the
total number of homes available for sale in Manhattan. Inventory grew
in all five of Brooklyn’s submarkets, although the strongest growth
was seen in East Brooklyn (which includes Crown Heights, Bedford-
Stuyvesant, Bushwick, Brownsville and East New York) and North
Brooklyn (which includes Williamsburg and Greenpoint).
THE TYPICAL BROOKLYN SELLER GETS 100% OF ASKING PRICE
The median sale-to-list price ratio rose by 0.4 percent from last year to
100.0 percent in the second quarter, meaning Brooklyn home sellers
could expect to receive most if not all of their initial asking price in the
final sale of their home. Sale-to-list price ratios exceeded 100 percent
in the Prospect Park (101.8 percent) and East Brooklyn (101.2 percent)
submarkets, which were fertile grounds for bidding wars as buyers
fiercely competed for available units in those areas. Other key price
indicators show that sellers retain more of the bargaining power in
Brooklyn. The share of all homes for sale that saw a price cut fell by 4.4
percent from last year to 21.2 percent in the second quarter, and the
median discount between initial asking price and final recorded sales
price fell to 5.65 percent.
BROOKLYN HOMES SELL FASTER THAN MANHATTAN
Despite the growth in prices, Brooklyn buyers were quick to close on
sales in the second quarter. The median time on market of homes that
went into contract was 41 days – three days shorter than Manhattan
homes during the same quarter but 6 days longer than last year. Homes
sold the quickest in the Prospect Park submarket (31 days), followed
by North Brooklyn (35 days), Northwest Brooklyn (36 days), South
Brooklyn (55 days) and East Brooklyn (58 days). The demand for higher-
priced homes in Brooklyn was particularly acute in the second quarter.
Homes priced in the top price tier (above $716,000) took just 36 days to
sell, whereas homes priced in the bottom price tier (below $381,000)
took 54 days to sell, indicating that newer or higher-quality units in
Brooklyn were far more attractive to existing buyers than older and
perhaps lower-quality listings.
BROOKLYN RENTS DIP SLIGHTLY
Renters in Brooklyn face the highest rent burden in the city according
to a recent StreetEasy study, although price trends in the second
quarter could spell relief for Brooklynites. The median asking rent fell
1.0 percent from last year to $2,550. Two-bedroom rentals saw the
greatest price drop, with the median asking rent declining 7.1 percent
from last year to $2,500. The most expensive submarket was North
Brooklyn, with a median asking rent of $3,100, followed by Northwest
Brooklyn ($2,990), Prospect Park ($2,650), East Brooklyn ($2,400) and
South Brooklyn ($1,800).

resale price of all homes closed the second quarter 5.8 percent above
the previous market peak level ($497,449) set in November 2006,
according to the Index.

BROOKLYN PENDING SALES
StreetEasy Quarterly Market Report Q2 2015 | PAGE 15
1 Pending sales data includes condos, co-ops, townhouses, and single family homes.
2 Price tier shares are based on total number of all Brooklyn homes available during Q2 2015. Bottom tier is comprised of homes priced up to $381,000; middle tier is homes priced between $381,000 and $716,000; top tier is homes priced above $716,000.
High demand leads to bidding wars in Prospect Park & East BrooklynThe median sale-to-list price ratio among
Brooklyn homes edged up to 100.0
percent in Q2. In Prospect Park and East
Brooklyn, the sales-to-list price ratio
exceeded 100 percent (101.8 percent and
101.2 percent , respectively), hinting at
particularly fierce competition among
buyers in those markets which led to
bidding wars for available units.
What is the sale-to-list price ratio?
The final recorded sales price of a home
divided by its initial asking price. A sale-to-
list price ratio of 90 percent means the home
sold for 90 percent of its initial asking price.
The sale-to-list price ratio reported is the
exact middle ratio among all homes that
we are able to match a recorded sale with a
listing on StreetEasy.

BROOKLYN RECORDED SALES
StreetEasy Quarterly Market Report Q2 2015 | PAGE 16
1 Sales data is based on Brooklyn condo, co-op, townhouse, and single family home transactions recorded by the New York City Department of Finance as of July 15, 2015 and adjusted using a multiplier. This may not represent all Q2 2015 sales transactions.
Prices ease slightly in Q2, but Brooklyn rents remain highly unaffordable for most rentersAccording to a StreetEasy study of asking
rents and incomes across the city, the
typical Brooklyn household will need to
spend an estimated 60.0 percent of its
annual income on asking rent in 2015 -
the highest rent burden among all five
boroughs in New York City. The median
asking rent declined 1.0 percent from last
year to $2,550, providing a small measure
of relief to highly burdened renters in
Brooklyn.

StreetEasy Quarterly Market Report Q2 2015 | PAGE 25
GLOSSARY
Days on Market
The number of days from the original listing on StreetEasy to when
it enters contract. After a buyer enters contract on a unit, it is pulled
from the market and is no longer available to other buyers - creating a
logical end point to “days on market.” Measuring days on market by the
number of days from the original listing to the recorded closing date
may be skewed by lengthy closing periods during which the unit is not
technically on the market.
Inventory
The sum of all homes that were available on StreetEasy at any point
during the quarter. For example, if a unit was originally listed in
February and sold in May, it would be included in the inventory number
for the first quarter and the second quarter. This approach allows us to
analyze what was available to buyers in a given quarter - instead of an
arbitrary moment or cut-off point.
Median Asking Price
The exact middle asking price among all asking prices of listed homes
during the quarter.
Median Price Cut
The exact middle price cut (as a percentage of total asking price)
among all listings on StreetEasy during the quarter that saw a price cut.
Median Price Per Square Foot
The exact middle recorded price per square foot among all homes that
sold during the quarter that included square footage information in
closing documents with the New York City Department of Finance.
Median Sale-to-List Price Ratio
The final recorded sales price of a home divided by its initial asking
price. A sale-to-list price ratio of 90 percent means the home sold for
90 percent of its initial asking price. The sale-to-list price ratio reported
is the exact middle ratio among all homes that we are able to match a
recorded sale with a listing on StreetEasy.
Median Sales Price
The exact middle sales price among all recorded sales prices of homes
that closed during the quarter. In general, median values are more
accurate than average values, which may be skewed by price outliers
(a few sales that are extremely expensive or extremely inexpensive).
In order to consider only arms-length transactions, we do not include
foreclosures or sales prices lower than $10,000 in this calculation.
Pending Sales
The number of all homes that entered contract during the quarter.
Price Tiers
All listings are placed into one of three price tiers - bottom, middle, and
top - using price cut-offs derived from a 12-month weighted moving
average of recorded sales prices at the 33rd and 66th percentiles. Price
tier cut-offs change each month in order to capture evolving trends
in homes that are being sold. The top tier corresponds with the most
expensive home listings.
Share of Inventory with a Price Cut
The share of all active inventory during the quarter that saw a price cut.

GLOSSARY
StreetEasy Price Forecasts
The Manhattan Price Forecast and the Brooklyn Price Forecast predict
the change in resale prices one month out from the current reported
period. Each forecast incorporates the Price Index for each borough,
StreetEasy’s comprehensive database of listing prices and days on
market - two leading indicators to future resale prices to accurately
forecast what next month’s resale prices will be before the release of
publicly recorded sales data.
StreetEasy Price Indices
The Manhattan Price Index (MPI) and Brooklyn Price Index (BPI) are
monthly indices that track changes in resale prices of condo, co-op,
and townhouse units. Each index uses a repeat-sales method of
comparing the sales prices of the same properties since January 1995
in Manhattan and January 2004 in Brooklyn. Given this methodology,
each Index accurately captures the change in home prices by
controlling for the varying composition of homes sold in a given month.
Data on arms-length sales of homes is sourced from the New York City
Department of Finance.
