- Market-wide median price and average price declined relative to last month and last year. This was mainly due to an increased proportion of studio and one bedroom sales in January, as well as a larger share of co-ops being sold.
- Average price per square foot rose 3% year-over-year despite a drop in average price as the average apartment size sold this month was 18% smaller than last year.
