As May arrives, New York City reveals its true vibrancy. The High Line offers a tranquil retreat with panoramic views, while the Brooklyn Botanic Garden remains a peaceful oasis just moments from the city’s energy. From the sweeping greenery of Central Park to the sophisticated streets of SoHo, the city’s most cherished spaces are at their most captivating, inviting those who know and love the city to embrace the season’s elegance.
In step with this seasonal vibrancy, the real estate market continues to thrive. According to April data, Manhattan’s average price per square foot rose to $1,589, reflecting an 8.7% increase year-over-year. Brooklyn also saw strong growth, with the average price per square foot reaching $1,231—up 9.1% from the previous year. These figures speak to the ongoing strength and desirability of New York’s market, where exclusive opportunities await both buyers and sellers.
As we move closer to summer, renewed buyer interest and limited inventory are setting the stage for a dynamic season ahead. Whether you’re looking to buy, sell, or simply get a sense of your home’s current value, the Richard Steinberg Team is here to provide the expertise, insight, and dedication needed to navigate the market with confidence.
