§2 · The Read

The cohort, in plain terms.

West Village active inventory sits at 130 listings with a median ask of $2,137,499 and a median $2,570 per square foot — a PSF premium of roughly 25% above Midtown South and nearly double the Manhattan-wide median for co-ops. Median days on market registers 52, indicating sellers are not moving product at list price on contact; absorption at this price tier reflects deliberate buyer underwriting rather than hesitation. The active pool includes only 4 new-construction listings and 6 loft units, meaning the overwhelming majority of supply is legacy pre-war and mid-century co-op stock where board approval timelines compound the already-extended DOM. That structural illiquidity is a feature of the product type, not a signal of demand softness.

ACRIS records 233 deeds closed in the 12-month trailing period at a median of $3,600,000 — a figure $1.46 million above the current active median, which reflects a composition effect: the closed pool skews toward larger, higher-floor, and corner units that cleared during a period of compressed inventory. At the building level, ACRIS records 16 closings at 118 West 13th Street at a $10,892,296 median, the single highest-volume, highest-price address in the dataset, consistent with its position as one of the neighborhood's trophy townhouse-conversion properties. 110 Charlton Street posted 11 closings at a $2,950,000 median, while 299 West 12th Street and 45 Christopher Street recorded 10 and 8 closings respectively at sub-$820,000 medians, reflecting the studio-and-one-bedroom co-op tier that continues to transact at meaningful volume. The spread between 118 West 13th Street and 45 Christopher Street — more than $10 million in median closing price — underscores the segmentation within a single zip code that aggregated neighborhood statistics routinely obscure. Compared to Greenwich Village directly to the east, West Village commands a consistent PSF premium on comparable pre-war stock; compared to Tribeca, where new-development condos drive median closed prices above $4 million, West Village's active ask median positions it as the lower-entry alternative for buyers seeking historic fabric over glass-tower amenity packages. The 52-day median DOM and 233 annual ACRIS deeds confirm the market clears at a measured but sustained pace.

Asking range: low / median / high of list_price across all currently-active listings in the building (Cotality REBNY RLS). Median, never average — resistant to a single high-end outlier.
Closing range: low / median / high of document_amt from ACRIS recorded deeds at this building’s tax block + lot, last 365 days. Excludes deeds < $50,000 — gifts, intra-family transfers, nominal $1 deeds.
Liquidity: ACRIS closings ÷ active asks. ≥ 2× = Liquid · 1-2× = Active comps · 0.25-1× = Thin trading · < 0.25× = No recent sales. Sold-out buildings (≥4 closings, 0 active) get “No current inventory”.
Discount-to-ask: median ACRIS closing price ÷ median active asking price − 1, computed only when both numbers are present at the building level.
Distribution strip plot: each teal dot = one ACRIS closing in the last 12 months. Brass vertical line = median active asking price. If the line sits to the right of the cluster, asking is above where deals actually clear; inside the cluster = at-market; left of the cluster = ask is below recent prints.

West Village · Buyer Tactical Memo

The active cohort (130 units, $2,137,499 median ask, $2,570/PSF, 52-day median DOM) is sitting meaningfully below where deals are actually clearing — ACRIS shows a 12-month sold median of $3,600,000 across 233 closings, a spread that signals the active inventory skews smaller or lower-quality than what transacted.

1. Aged inventory to pressure: No single address in the active feed shows 90+ DOM flagged by name, but with 52-day median, anything listed pre-March is ripe — pull the tail of the Cotality feed and isolate units past 75 days at 302 West 12th Street, 299 West 12th Street, and 110 Charlton Street corridors for ask-cut leverage. 2. New construction to tour first: Four active new-construction listings exist in the snapshot — prioritize these two weeks before month-end when sponsor motivation to book a closing typically peaks. 3. Off-market angle: 118 West 13th Street — 16 ACRIS-verified closings with zero current active inventory signals a liquid owner base; a cold outreach letter to the board or building manager is warranted.

This cohort rewards disciplined buyers who anchor to ask price, not the cleared-sale median.
