The Luxury Lines
Three tiers measured by the trailing 12 months of Manhattan-wide signed contracts. These entry prices are Manhattan-wide thresholds, not Lincoln Square's own line — paired here with Lincoln Square's own trailing-12-month contract count, average price per square foot, and dollar volume against each tier. Thresholds update weekly as new data enters the window.

Lincoln Square's Manhattan position
Lincoln Square ranks 6th for luxury dollar volume over the trailing 12 months among Manhattan neighborhoods with steady luxury activity, a measure of how much money moves through the neighborhood. It ranks 13th for luxury intensity, the share of its contracts clearing the Manhattan Luxury (Top 10%) price line, just ahead of upper west side at 10.7%: 0 of undefined trailing contracts, or 0%. Size and concentration are different things, so a neighborhood can move large dollar volume without a high share of its deals clearing the luxury line. The median of those Lincoln Square deals is $5.05M, 32% below the $7.38M median for all Manhattan Luxury (Top 10%) deals.
Sellers: Measure against qualified Lincoln Square luxury deals and the Manhattan Luxury (Top 10%) median.
Buyers: Compare like with like, using deals above the same Manhattan Luxury (Top 10%) price line.

What this means for you
2-Bed residences accounted for 30% of Lincoln Square's luxury dollars this month on 10 contracts. 1-Bed residences were the most frequent trade, with 13 contracts. Sellers of 2-Bed should price against the small set of comparable large-format sales rather than the neighborhood median. Buyers at 1-Bed are working in the deepest part of this market, so assume other offers on anything priced correctly.

Key Takeaway
At ~26 months of luxury supply, Lincoln Square is a deep buyer's market and sits in line with the borough. Supply is well ahead of demand; buyers control the pace.
Sellers: Price to current market activity.
Buyers: There is room to negotiate on price and terms, and look closely within your submarket. Building-by-building comps carry the clearest signal.

Methodology & Notes
Lincoln Square residential signed contracts, last asking price, trailing 12 months (TTM). · Luxury $5.01M / Prime $7.38M / Trophy $18.11M = Manhattan-wide top 10%, 5%, 1% of TTM contracts. Cutoffs update monthly. · September 2026 is the latest reporting month (provisional; may revise through ). · Lincoln Square's local luxury line is the median of its own contracts that clear the Manhattan Luxury cutoff (top 10%), currently $5.05M. Consumer reference only; every Luxury figure on this page is measured against the Manhattan threshold. · In each tier card, the contract count is Lincoln Square's own contracts that clear that Manhattan tier. Average price per square foot and 12 month volume are Manhattan-wide totals for the tier, shown as the benchmark Lincoln Square is measured against, and are labeled "Manhattan" on the card. · Metrics based on fewer than 5 contracts are marked "insufficient sample" rather than shown as a percentage change. · Two rankings appear in this section, refreshed weekly. Both cover only neighborhoods with at least 11 luxury contracts over the trailing 52 weeks, the floor for a stable reading. Luxury dollar volume ranks those neighborhoods by the dollars transacted above the Manhattan Luxury (Top 10%) price line over the trailing 12 months. Luxury intensity ranks them by the share of their trailing-12-month contracts that clear that same price line.
