MARKET SUMMARY
Quarter-over-quarter, the total sales volume of Queens sponsor units increased by 56.74%, from $164,077,512 in 1Q23 to $257,170,075 this past quarter.
The total number of sales increased by 53.04%, from 181 total sales in 1Q23 to 277 sales this past quarter.
Quarter-over-quarter, the median price per square foot increased by 10.5% from $1,175 psf to $1,298 psf. In that same span, the median price paid for a
Queens sponsor unit increased by 15.0%, from $724,000 to $832,524. Year-over-year, the median price paid per square foot decreased from $1,362 in
2Q22 to $1,298 in 2Q23, while the median sales price decreased by 22.1% from $1,068,350 to $832,524. This annual price decrease was largely attributed
to several more sales amongst studio and 1-bedroom apartments relative to 2Q22, and also less sales from higher priced areas like Long Island City.
This past quarter, the highest sales price was seen at the Tangram House South Condominium, 133-27 39th Avenue, where unit PH2A sold for $3,020,253
($1,228 psf). The highest price paid per square foot occurred at Skyline Tower, 23-15 44th Drive, where unit 2912 sold for $1,929 psf ($1,295,991).
This past quarter, the majority of Queens sponsor sales were in Long Island City, where 61.01% of all Queens sponsor sales occurred, which equated to 169
of the total 277 closings that took place in the neighborhoods tracked by this report.
