New York practice valuations reflect a wide spectrum of market conditions. A practice in Manhattan operates in one of the most expensive dental real estate markets in the country — lease costs, staffing rates, and overhead are meaningfully different from a general practice in the Hudson Valley or Western New York. These cost structures directly affect net income, which is one of the primary drivers of what a buyer will offer.
Key value factors include annual collections, net income (EBITDA or seller's discretionary earnings), number of active patients, specialty mix, age and condition of equipment, and the terms of your lease. In New York City specifically, lease assignment terms and landlord cooperation can significantly affect transaction timing. Suburban and upstate practices often attract buyers from metropolitan areas seeking lower cost-of-entry ownership outside dense urban markets.
