"Have Manhattan real estate prices finally bottomed?" The better question might be: Did they already bottom out years ago? Despite talks of a permanent slowdown, Q1 2026 data shows NYC condos hitting brand-new record highs in average price per square foot.

If you've been waiting on the sidelines for a pullback, it's time to look at the numbers: https://t.co/0Chs3QpUSG

Unlike many Downtown Manhattan neighborhoods that lean more heavily toward smaller investor-oriented layouts, Upper East Side new developments are often designed around larger residences, quieter residential streets, and long-term ownership. Many buyers here are purchasing for personal use, multi-generational living, or long-duration wealth preservation rather than purely short-term investment returns.

For global buyers, few addresses carry the symbolic weight of Fifth Avenue. Many of our investor clients ask about this address at the first conversation. Similar to Mayfair in London or Orchard Road in Singapore, Fifth Avenue represents more than just a street — it represents prestige, permanence, and global recognition.

However, “buying on Fifth Avenue” can mean very different things depending on the building, ownership structure, location, amenities, and buyer profile.

When NY developers travel abroad to sell a Manhattan property at luxury hotel showcases, you have to ask why. In NYC, 70% of buyers are local. If a project is being aggressively marketed overseas, it's often because the development is not doing well locally.

In this update, Weimin analyzes the current state of Manhattan real estate, focusing on price trajectories, interest rate impacts, and investment yields in 2026.

Key Market Insights:
- Price Stagnation: Current price-per-square-foot levels remain below 2017 peaks, despite a recovery period between 2021 and 2022.
- Financing Challenges: With mortgage rates holding around 6.5%, a significant portion of the buyer pool has shifted toward renting.
- The Cash Buyer Advantage: Approximately 70% of current market transactions are cash deals, bypassing high-interest rate hurdles.
- Rental Market Dynamics: Recent policy changes regarding broker fees have contributed to a rise in rents, leading to improved yields for those pursuing a property investment strategy.
- Inventory Status: The market is currently leaning toward a slight seller's market, with high-demand inventory moving quickly.

Summary:
While financing costs remain high, the combination of lower-than-peak pricing and rising rental yields presents a specific opportunity for cash buyers looking to enter the New York market.

Manhattan real estate remains a top choice for global investors. In this video, Weimin Tan outlines the three primary drivers behind international capital allocation in the New York City market:

Irreplaceable Asset: As a global hub for finance and technology with a finite supply of land, Manhattan property offers a unique value proposition that cannot be replicated.

USD Currency Hedge: International clients utilize Manhattan property as a US dollar-denominated asset to provide a stable hedge for their global portfolios.

High Optionality: Owners benefit from multiple exit and usage strategies, including personal use, housing for children studying in the US, or renting. Manhattan maintains one of the lowest vacancy rates in the US at approximately 2.5%.

The global liquidity of the Manhattan market ensures demand from local and international buyers alike, from Singapore to Dubai.

Weimin Tan, top Manhattan property agent focusing on investment property, talks about the acquisition framework in this case study. Weimin represented a buyer client in acquiring this high floor 2 bedroom condo at Four Seasons Private Residences Downtown New York.

The entry basis/price is perhaps the most important, and his client paid much less than the original developer price.

Liquidity at point of resale and rent is also important. This being a Four Seasons property, when it comes time to sell, there will be a global buyer pool who will recognize this brand. If renting out, the Four Seasons brand will be very appealing to high-end tenants.

The view: The apartment is a SouthEast corner unit, facing East towards the Woolworth Building, and South towards the World Trade Center, Oculus and New York Harbor.

Most Manhattan Investment Decisions Are Framed Incorrectly

Many buyers begin by focusing on:
- the neighborhood
- the building name
- or the broker involved

This is a flawed starting point.

In Manhattan, two apartments in the same building can behave like two different assets.

The difference is driven by:
- building characteristics
- line positioning
- and entry price

Hi, I'm Wei Min, and I guide clients through the process of capital allocation into Manhattan real estate.

I always explain at the beginning that buying in Manhattan is not a yield play, nor is it speculative. Our clients usually have sizeable exposure in their operating businesses and stock market portfolios. For them, Manhattan real estate is a way of diversification and a method of acquiring an irreplaceable asset that can be handed down through generations.

What I do is explain to clients what is a good buy and what is not, detailing the upsides and downsides. Ultimately, I coordinate every step so that they end up buying a premier asset at a strong entry point.
