The median price for a condo in Long Island City during the second quarter was $905,800, up 5.6% from the second quarter 2023, when it was $857,765. However, contracts signed have trended in the opposite direction, falling 44.5% from 227 to 126.

Most of the contracts signed in the second quarter were in the Hunters Point section of Long Island City. Of the 126 contracts signed in Long Island City, 70 were in Hunters Point.

Most of the condos that went into contract were one-bedroom or two-bedroom units. They accounted for 111 out of the 126 contracts, or 88%, according to the report.
