From the 2008 financial crisis through the 2020 pandemic, the NYC metro Case-Shiller composite fell about 25% peak-to-trough between 2007 and 2012, then fully recovered by 2017 and gained another 15% through Q1 2020. Highbridge and West Harlem both tracked this broader NYC arc, with annual closing volume contracting sharply in 2009 and again in Q2 2020 before normalizing.
West Harlem tracked the more resilient Manhattan price path with a 10% to 15% peak-to-trough decline, while Highbridge moved closer to the broader NYC metro pattern of a 20% to 25% retracement before recovering through 2017.
