Method & coverage
Method. Condos are measured per square foot, co-ops per room (room counts from listing data; sales without a usable room count are excluded). The percentages are movement of the annual median — not a constant-quality or repeat-sale index — so transaction mix moves them as well as value. Real-terms figures deflate that same median by CPI.
Coverage. 2,092 recorded sales. Before the figures above, 17 non-arms-length transfers (nominal estate, gift, or intra-family deeds and mis-recorded bulk filings) and 4 duplicate records of the same deed (a combined apartment or penthouse recorded under more than one unit label) were removed. Corridors may overlap — a sale can appear in both a neighborhood set and a narrower avenue set. Recorded transfers via NYC Department of Finance, enriched by The Roebling Research Library.
