NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- If there's one place where the housing slump seems to be a figment of the imagination, it's New York City. A home in Manhattan is more expensive than ever, according to the latest reports from several big New York real estate brokers.

The median Manhattan condo or co-op apartment sold for between $840,000 and $895,000 during the three months ended June 30. The low estimate was reported by two brokers, Halstead Property and Brown Harris Stevens, while the Corcoran Group pegged it at $875,000, and Prudential Douglas Elliman recorded the high figure among the group.
