By the Numbers: New York\u2019s proposed all-cash luxury home tax would hit these neighborhoods hardest<\/a><\/p>\n

New York state legislators are weighing a tax on all-cash properties of home purchases of over $1 million in the Big Apple \u2014 but where would such a levy have the greatest impact?<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, the city\u2019s wealthiest enclaves \u2014 Lincoln Square, Chelsea and the Upper West Side \u2014 had the highest number of $1 million-plus, all-cash home sales in New York in 2025, according to a TRD Data analysis of residential deeds recorded in the city from January 2023 through May 2026.<\/p>\n

In general, all-cash purchases have been on the rise over the past couple of years, particularly as borrowing costs have also risen. From 2023 to 2025, the number of all-cash home sales over $1 million climbed by 15 percent to about 4,500 deals, according to the TRD Data analysis. So far this year, there have been 1,530 such sales.<\/p>\n
