In Brooklyn, high-end listings have more than doubled and its starter apartment supply has fallen, according to the\u00a0report by John Walkup, co-founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.urbandigs.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">UrbanDigs,<\/a> a New York City real estate analytics firm.<\/p>\n<p>The report contrasted snapshots of Manhattan and Brooklyn sales inventory in June 2023 to June 2026 in four price ranges: under $1 million, $1-$2 million, $2-$4 million, and $4 million-plus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the past three years, Manhattan\u2019s under-$1 million is the only price band bringing more new listings to market than it did in June 2023, up 8.9 percent, while $2-4 million new listings have shrunk 18.3 percent, the steepest drop of any tier.\u201d Sellers in that $2-4 million band \u201cappear to be sitting out,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Brooklyn showed a mirror image, Walkup said. Its $4 million-plus tier has more than doubled its new-listing volume, up 111.5 percent, and $2-4 million is up 31.1 percent, while under-$1 million is the only tier bringing less supply to market than three years ago, down 5.2 percent, he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Why are the markets reversed?<\/p>\n<p>Walkup said the growth in listings \u201cappears concentrated where sellers are more confident they can get their price.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brooklyn\u2019s under-$1 million sector is the exception to this rule. Supply there \u201cis slipping, and that is where the two boroughs diverge most sharply,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>A mortgage lock-in effect may also be playing a role in Brooklyn: Sellers with low mortgage rates are reluctant to list properties if it means they must borrow at a higher rate to buy somewhere else, \u201cparticularly if prices have not fallen enough to justify a move,\u201d Walkup wrote.<\/p>\n<p>This does not mean the Brooklyn market is unhealthy, he wrote. Buyers and sellers are reacting differently across price tiers rather than one side pushing the market in a single direction, he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Manhattan properties under $1 million showed \u201cstability,\u201d Walkup told Brick. \u201cIt was the only Manhattan price tier to show a positive change, while the higher tiers were generally slipping.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Most of the supply at this price level comes from resales of small co-ops and condos, namely studios and one bedrooms. The amount of new development listings under $1 million is a tiny fraction.<\/p>\n<p>If there was any lock-in effect in this price range, it was likely \u201cunlocked by life,\u201d Walkup said. Sellers had to make a move for reasons that outweighed any other consideration.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new report compares Manhattan and Brooklyn sales listings in different pricing tiers and finds inventory moving in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":313589,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[9,24,63,134,136,135],"class_list":["post-313588","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-staten-island","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-staten-island","tag-staten-island-headlines","tag-staten-island-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313588","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=313588"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313588\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/313589"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=313588"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=313588"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=313588"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
