Bloomberg reports that New York City boroughs are seeing the highest number of available homes under $1 million in years.
In Manhattan, the inventory of sub-$1 million apartments surged 27 percent in June from a year earlier to 3,087, the most for the month since 2013, according to StreetEasy. Such listings jumped 17 percent to 2,738 in Brooklyn, and climbed 6 percent to 2,314 in Queens, a borough usually sought out for its relative affordability.
Combined with listings over $1 million, Brooklyn and Queens both saw the largest number of available homes since 2008 in June, and Manhattan reached its highest availability since 2011. If purchases remain low, the city could see a new record inventory level later this year, with another surge of listings expected in September.
