The Harlem brownstone market has seen an increase in the last quarter. In Q1 2024, sales volume increased 34.71% from Q1 2023 and a 5.71% decrease from 2019 (pre-pandemic). Average prices in Q1 2024 rose 14.76%, with price per square foot rising 25.09%. Transactions increased 17.39% from Q1 2023 and stayed the same from pre-pandemic numbers; although there is demand for new inventory, sellers must take into account increased interest rates as buyers’ carrying costs have gone up substantially. Moving forward, it appears that buyers might have another two, three quarters to secure properties at lower costs before anticipated rate decreases later this year where the Harlem townhouse market may shift to a more neutral market.
