Lower East Side.

The Lower East Side presents an unusual analytical picture at this moment: the active listing feed currently shows zero available units, leaving sold-side data as the primary lens through which to assess market conditions. ACRIS records 44 deeds recorded in the trailing 12 months at a median of $1,728,436, a figure that positions the neighborhood above comparable inventory-constrained corridors such as the East Village but materially below Tribeca's closed-sale medians, which have consistently cleared $3.5M over the same period.

The building-level ACRIS data surfaces meaningful price dispersion across a compact geography. At 50 Clinton Street, 7 closings landed at a $1,750,000 median, while 232 East Broadway recorded 5 closings at a $1,500,000 median—both numbers consistent with the neighborhood-wide figure and indicative of a mid-market tier that dominates volume. The notable outlier is 180 Broome Street, where ACRIS records 3 closings at a $12,660,000 median, a figure that skews any simple average and reflects a fundamentally different product type—likely larger-format or commercial-residential—operating within the same zip code boundaries. At 66 Clinton Street, 3 closings cleared a $2,400,000 median, occupying the upper band of what is otherwise a tightly clustered distribution. Stripping the 180 Broome Street transactions from the picture, the remaining building-level medians cluster between $917,500 at 199 Bowery and $1,750,000 at 50 Clinton Street, a spread that reflects unit-size and condition differentials rather than any structural divergence in location pricing.

With no active listings currently available through the feed, per-square-foot asking metrics and days-on-market figures are not calculable for this report. What the ACRIS record does confirm is that 44 transactions cleared over 12 months—a pace that, normalized against the neighborhood's residential building stock, is consistent with selective but sustained buyer engagement rather than a market experiencing extreme illiquidity. The concentration of volume at four buildings—50 Clinton Street, 199 Bowery, 232 East Broadway, and 42 Allen Street—accounts for 21 of the 44 recorded deeds, suggesting that close-out or resale activity at specific addresses, rather than broad-based turnover, drove the majority of recorded transfer activity.
