The Astoria Condo Market

What Astoria Condos Sell For

Over the last three years, 302 new condos closed in 26 Astoria buildings at a median $776,981, or $1,195 per square foot. Here's what sold, by size:

Sponsor closings (first deed for each new home, ACRIS), Sep 30, 2023 to Sep 30, 2026.

These are closing prices: the first recorded deed for each new home, matched to its unit in the offering plan. Resales are left out.

Astoria Condo Prices Over Time

The median was $1,041 a square foot in 2021–22 and $1,195 over the last three years (+15%). Years with only a building or two closing move with whichever building that was.

First recorded deed for each new home, from city deed records matched to the offering plan's unit list, through Sep 30, 2026. Years with fewer than 3 closings are left out; bedroom columns need 3 sales.

How Fast Astoria Condos Sell

Of the 58 Astoria buildings whose sponsor closings began in 2015 or later, 38 have sold out. The typical one took 10 months from its first closing to its last.

ACRIS sponsor closings through Sep 30, 2026, buildings whose first closing came in 2015 or later. Time to sell out runs from a building's first closing to its last, among buildings that have sold out. List: the sponsor's Schedule A price for the same homes.

• Closing vs. list. The median building's first sales closed 5% below list: the sponsor's Schedule A price for the same homes, across 33 buildings we could match. 21% of them closed above list.
• Sellouts have slowed sharply. 67% of buildings whose closings began in 2015–19 sold out within a year, against 10% for 2023 or later. 11 still had unsold homes two years or more after their first closing.

Why Astoria's Condo Market Has Slowed

Astoria adds far fewer new condos than it used to: about 167 homes a year in plans accepted since 2023, against 272 a year in 2020–22, 39% fewer.

Accepted condo plans. Asking $/sf: the median building's first Schedule A price list.

• Fewer, bigger buildings. About 6 plans a year since 2023, against 8 in 2020–22, though the typical one is larger (24 homes, against 14).
• The 421-a tax break ended. New projects had to start construction by June 2022 to get it. 71% of Astoria plans accepted 2015–22 that name a tax program used 421-a; of the 4 accepted since 2023 that name one, 25% do. Without it, buyers carry full property taxes from the start.
• Higher prices, slower sales. The median plan asked $1,177 a square foot in 2020–22 and $1,226 since 2023, and far fewer buildings now sell out within a year (above).

More are on the way: 11 plans filed since 2025 are still under review (below).

Where Astoria Condos Are, and the Walk to the Subway

Astoria is served by:

• N and W: along 31st Street (Astoria-Ditmars Blvd, Astoria Blvd, 30 Av, Broadway, 36 Av)
• M and R: along Steinway Street (Steinway St, 46 St)

Each plan counted once, at the station entrance with the shortest walk.

The median recent building is 8 minutes from a subway entrance; 38% are within 5 minutes and 35% are more than 10 minutes away. More in subway distance and condo prices.

Prices Within Astoria

We compared each building's closings with the Astoria average in the same year, so rising prices don't skew the comparison:

Sponsor closings since 2015, buildings with 2+ of them. Each sale is compared with Astoria's average $/sf that year; a row compares the median building inside the area with the median one outside it.

• North Astoria and Ditmars sell for more: buildings nearest the last stops on the N and W sell +8% against the rest of Astoria.
• The walk doesn't predict price here. Buildings 6 minutes or less from the subway sell −6%, and those 10 minutes or more away +6%. Location matters more: the longest walks are in North Astoria, near the Ditmars end of the line (see the station table), where prices are highest.

Amenities, Laundry and Doormen

What the offering plans accepted since 2015 include:

Plans accepted since 2015. Amenities: 50 new-construction plans; washer/dryer: 43 plans that say either way; front desk: 52 plans read.

• Elevators: 92% of the plans that say either way.
• Laundry: 12% provide washer/dryer hookups only. More in washer/dryers in NYC condos.
• Few doormen: 4% have a 24-hour desk; 15% rely on a virtual doorman instead.
• Heat pumps: 82% of plans, so heating and cooling run on your own electric bill.

Common Charges

A typical new Astoria condo charges $482 a month per home (median of 18 plans accepted since 2015). Here's where it goes, next to Long Island City and Ridgewood:

Plans accepted since 2015: the median first-year common charge per home (Astoria 18, Long Island City 24, Ridgewood 6 plans), split by the average share of each Schedule B budget line (18, 24, 6 budgets).

The biggest pieces are repairs & service contracts ($83) and insurance ($69). Astoria costs less than Long Island City ($571) and more than Ridgewood ($400), where buildings spend less on staff, utilities and reserves. Compare with common charges across NYC.

New Astoria Condo Plans Filed Since 2025

19 condo plans with 336 homes have been filed since 2025: 8 accepted and 11 still under review.

Asking $/sf: the sponsor's Schedule A average. A dash means the plan doesn't list enough priced homes, or its budget isn't read yet.
