This is great news overall, and esp as for our area in Westchester.  As Manhattan picks up, so does Westchester, but just lagged a bit behind it.  You guys picked up a while ago, and things have really started to pick up here, too. - Debbie

Mitch, silly me!  When I saw "city-wide"  my brain was thinking "Manhattan wide".  And those numbers looks so low!

It is good to hear that New York is experiencing a recovery in the housing market.  The prices are very high compared to a state like New Hampshire.

Mitchell, I find it interesting to read about markets around the country.  I'm impressed by these numbers and glad that there are a variety of micro markets to serve people in many price points.

Thanks for all the comments. My market reports in the past have been Manhattan only. Brooklyn has become the HOT NYC market. Park Slope is the new Upper West Side. Williamsburg the new Greenwich Village. I will also be doing Brooklyn market reports.

Mitchell, a great blog of information, and Brooklyn stands out with its enormous increase in sales and values. The lower end is moving up if you want to call Brooklyn, lower end.

Mitchell, first I really like the news that NYC is doing better. We pull second home buyers from NYC and if they aren't spending there, they aren't spending here. I have noticed a jump on my website searching IDX for homes, and calls and emails are growing as are actual face to face meetings and showings. They are slow to pull the trigger though, and many miss out on the  homes that are hot for second home buyers from NYC right now.

I love how you did this. I am a big fan of market reports and you have just given me a great idea! 'This is very clear, concise, easy to understand AND shows a growing market.

Mitchell, I am sure there is some degree of flipping taking place with these levels of rapid appreciation. Demand for limited housing drives it, not to mention all the international funds coming into your market. Good luck!

Jimmy, Brooklyn is becoming as expensive as Manhattan. Buyers used to go there to save. Nowe they just wnt to live there.

Lyn, I do too. My average sale prices are not necessarily the whole markets averages.

Andrea, Thanks, Litchfiued CT is a favorite town of New Yorkers for second homes.

Thanks Pat, On my way over

Hi Nina, Thanks for visiting.

Norman, Flipping only in condos. Many new construction developments won't allow resales for a certain period of time. The developer/sponser doesn't want to compete with resales.

70% of our housing is still coops. Coops are not investor friendly. Many have a "flip tax" that was originally meant to disuade insiders from flipping. The term flipping was coined in NYC in the 80's when rental buildings began converting to coops.

Mitchell good to see the improvement in NYC home sale over 2009.  I hope this trend will spread to the rest of the State.
