Methodology and Data Sources
Listing coverage
Asking figures come from 25,693 active for-sale and 11,512 active for-lease listings across New York in Realmo's public listing index. They are asking prices, not closed-transaction prices. Sale and lease counts are separate and may overlap. Land listings are not counted. The medians are based on the 12,202 for-sale and 2,626 for-lease listings that state a price or rent per square foot.
Asking prices and rents
Prices are medians of each listing's asking price per square foot, so a few very high or very low listings do not skew them. Data-entry errors are left out, and a median is published only with at least 10 listings with a usable price. A listing with a price range can contribute both endpoints.
Neighboring states
Neighboring-state comparisons use the same method and the same snapshot for every state, plus the United States as a reference.
City markets
The city list includes cities with more than 3 active listings whose market page has enough data to publish, ordered by active listings, up to 40. The price ranking covers cities with at least 10 priced listings for each metric and leaves out a city more than three times above or below the statewide median. City counts and prices use the same method as the statewide figures, so the table compares like with like; a city's own market page uses its own method, so its figures can differ.
