The 2Q 2006 _Manhattan Market Overview_ that my appraisal firm, [Miller Samuel](https://millersamuel.com), prepares for [Prudential Douglas Elliman](http://www.prudentialelliman.com), was released today. Each quarter I place links throughout the day of publication to make it easy to compare how each media outlet (big and small media, blogs) presents the exact same set of data.

Even more interesting to me is how the other real estate brokerage companies who write alternative reports, frame their comments in the articles. While I have not had access to their specific results, I understand that some of the statistics such as average sales price, differed from the results in our report. Some of the reporters that cover the real estate market in New York have expressed frustration at trying to discern what actually happened this quarter.

To view the actual [data](https://millersamuel.com/data) and [charts](https://millersamuel.com/charts) (going live by noon Friday 7-7-07). The [actual report pdf will be available next week](https://millersamuel.com/reports).

This list is _in no particular order_ and were generally presented when I found them. I included some of the duplicate news feeds because I found it interesting who picked up the story. I will keep adding to the list through the remainder of the week.

    I also saw something in USA Today, although I don’t believe they posted it online. They pointed out that, while the median price is up, inventory is also up and sales are taking longer.

    Wait, isn’t the most important statistic the one that says the number of condo sales were down 15%, compared to second quarter, 2005?

    Or, was that decrease in condo sales offset by an increase in co-op sales?

    I don’t see much in any of these reports about actual number of sales, only about average price of properties and inventory levels.

    Thanks!

    The Aggregate Data Search Engine on the Miller Samuel website is an excellent analytic tool.

    Is this data dated from the closing date or contract date? If so, there could be a significant time lag from contract to closing date. Is there any data on the lag between contract and closing date? Could it be as much as 3 months? It took me more than 1 month to close from contract signed in early may ’06… but i’m just one data point.
