NYC Q1 2026 Investment Sales Volume Posts 50% Increase Over Q1 2024
New York City’s investment sales market recorded $6.8 billion in dollar volume in the first quarter of 2026, a 4% year-over-year increase and a 50% increase over Q1 2024 levels, Ariel Property Advisors reported. Led by free-market properties, multifamily dollar volume rose 11% Y-O-Y, according to Ariel’s New York City All Asset Investment Sales Report Q1 2026.
“New York City’s investment sales market got off to a robust start in 2026, with dollar volume up 50% from two years ago,” said Shimon Shkury, president and founder of Ariel Property Advisors. “While we see a clear bifurcation in the multifamily sector—with free-market assets thriving and rent-stabilized portfolios continuing a painful repricing—the broader investment landscape is gaining significant momentum.”
He continued, “With development filings hitting a 12-year high in March and institutional conviction returning to the office, hotel and industrial sectors, it is evident that capital is no longer sitting on the sidelines; it is actively positioning for the city’s next growth cycle.”
