Manhattan and Brooklyn Rents Reach All-Time Highs as NYC Market Tightens
TL;DR
New data show Manhattan’s median rent rose to $5,000 in July (6.4% YoY) and Brooklyn’s to $4,500 (17% YoY), marking new records as mortgage-rate pressures keep would-be buyers renting. The 2025 FARE Act may be shrinking inventory by removing broker commissions, and landlords may hold units to dodge fees; only 6,000 Manhattan leases and 3,000 Brooklyn leases were signed in July, suggesting rents could keep rising through the fall.
