Separate New York-area markets before comparing the Northeast

New York, Newark and Long Island use separate statistical areas. Choose a realistic commuting area before comparing prices and selling times; adding these rows does not establish a New York inventory total. Boston, Philadelphia and Washington offer separate comparisons of market pace.

Ask whether buyers have more choice even where prices are rising. Read sale-price and inventory changes in the same row, then check days on market. This helps decide which neighborhoods to research next; it does not rank investment returns.

Try New York versus Newark: check the budget first and selling speed next. Verify commuting, property type, building age and ownership costs for the actual home.

Three steps for using this table

  1. Choose realistic locations using work, commuting and budget.
  2. Read same-week prices, inventory and days on market to identify differences to investigate.
  3. Check comparable sales, building condition and ownership costs for the actual home.

Asking and sale prices describe different sets of homes. Their difference is not a negotiating discount.
