June 2026 Rent Report

June 2026 Market Data

Summary

June 2026 recorded 25,503 new rental listings in New York City, up 13% from May's 22,662 and the busiest month of 2026 so far. The extra inventory barely moved the citywide median asking rent. It reached $3,995, just $10 above May and close enough to call the market flat.

Across 152 neighborhoods with comparable data, the median month-over-month rent change was 0%. The largest swings were concentrated in smaller submarkets: Middle Village fell 22%, Secaucus dropped 21%, and Red Hook rose 41%.

The full dataset, 25,503 listings with 34 columns each, is available on the Open Data page.

By Bedroom Count

2 Bedroom7,955$4,350+$50
3 Bedroom3,370$4,650-$50

More apartments came to market in every major bedroom category, but prices moved in different directions. Studios posted the biggest increase at $95. One-bedrooms and 3BRs each slipped $50, while 2BRs gained $50. That mix explains why the citywide median barely changed despite the surge in supply.
