Brooklyn Market Video Briefing
Justin's latest video recap of what's happening in the Brooklyn real estate market right now — what's selling, what's sitting, and what sellers need to know.
Home Prices by Property Type
Median sale prices across Brooklyn for the april 2025 – march 2026 period. Broken out by property type because blending co-ops and single-family homes into one number would be misleading.

Quarterly Price Trends by Property Type
Median price per quarter for the most recent four quarters. Arrows indicate price change versus the prior quarter.
Why these numbers are more reliable. The data on this page comes from NYC Department of Finance public records — every legally recorded property sale in Brooklyn, not just MLS-listed transactions. Sites like Zillow and StreetEasy only capture listings that go through their platforms, missing FSBO sales, off-market deals, and transfers that never hit the MLS. This dataset includes all of them.
We also remove bulk portfolio transfers, nominal sales (recorded at $10 or less), and non-arms-length transactions that would distort median prices — cleaning that most data sources don't do. The result is a more accurate picture of what Brooklyn homes are actually selling for.
Data source: NYC Department of Finance. Current 12 months (April 2025 – March 2026) from the rolling sales file; prior-year comparison period (January – December 2024) from the annualized sales file. Excludes $0 transfers, nominal sales, non-arms-length transactions, and bulk portfolio transfers. Last updated: April 2026.
Closing Volume by Month
Total Brooklyn-wide residential closings by month over the past 12 months. At borough scale, monthly volume is a more reliable seasonal signal than any individual neighborhood — the mix-of-property-types noise smooths out. Months highlighted in orange are peak closing months (10%+ above the monthly average).
Takeaway for Brooklyn Sellers
Brooklyn's peak closing months are Jul and Aug. Since the typical sale takes about 3 months from listing to closing, you should be listing approximately 3 months before these peak windows — that means aiming for Apr and May.

Brooklyn Housing Mix
Every residential sale in Brooklyn over the past 12 months, grouped by property type.
What This Means for Brooklyn Sellers
Brooklyn has the most diverse housing mix in New York City. Co-ops (17%), condos (28%), single-family homes (16%), and two-family homes (22%) all represent meaningful shares of the market. This variety means sellers face very different competitive dynamics depending on what they own and where: a co-op in Park Slope competes primarily with other co-ops, while a single-family home in Dyker Heights competes with an entirely different pool of similar inventory nearby. Condo inventory is concentrated in waterfront neighborhoods (Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Downtown) and newer developments. The upshot for sellers: borough-wide averages are less useful than the property-type-by-neighborhood data in the sortable table below.

Selling in Brooklyn — What Sellers Ask
Median home prices in Brooklyn vary significantly by property type. For the 12 months ending March 2026, the median single-family home sold for $950,000, the median co-op sold for $460,000, the median condo sold for $1.1M, and the median two-family home sold for $1.2M. Blending these into one borough-wide number would be misleading because the mix of property types varies by neighborhood. Data source: NYC Department of Finance public records (11,935 sales).
Brooklyn recorded 11,935 residential sales over the past 12 months. The fastest-growing neighborhood by single-family median was mill basin (up 33.0% year-over-year), based on year-over-year 12-month median comparison. See the sortable neighborhood table above for every Brooklyn neighborhood's current medians and year-over-year trend.
Peak closing months in Brooklyn are July and August, based on 12 months of NYC DOF closing data. Since the typical sale takes about 3 months from listing to closing, sellers should list approximately 3 months before these peak windows to align their closing with peak buyer demand. For help picking the optimal listing date for your specific property, schedule a free strategy call.
The three most expensive Brooklyn neighborhoods by median single-family home price are Brooklyn Heights, Boerum Hill, and Park Slope — #1: Brooklyn Heights ($6.5M), #2: Boerum Hill ($5.3M), #3: Park Slope ($5.2M). Rankings are limited to neighborhoods with at least 10 single-family sales in the past 12 months.
The three most affordable Brooklyn neighborhoods by median single-family home price are Brighton Beach, Brownsville, and Coney Island — #1: Brighton Beach ($549,000), #2: Brownsville ($599,000), #3: Coney Island ($639,000). Rankings are limited to neighborhoods with at least 10 single-family sales in the past 12 months.
Across Brooklyn-wide DOF data the typical sale takes about 3 months from listing to closing, though this varies by property type and pricing. Justin Braithwaite's listings have averaged 24 days on market with a 102.8% sale-to-list price ratio across 261 seller transactions, reflecting effective pricing and presentation — which tend to be the biggest factors in reducing time on market.
Brooklyn at a Glance
Brooklyn is New York City's most populous borough, with approximately 2.6 million residents across roughly 71 square miles at the western end of Long Island. It spans some 50 distinct residential neighborhoods, from the brownstone blocks of Park Slope, Fort Greene, and Brooklyn Heights to the beachfront communities of Brighton Beach, Coney Island, and Manhattan Beach, the industrial-turned- residential waterfronts of Williamsburg, Greenpoint, and Red Hook, and the single-family house districts of Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Marine Park, and Mill Basin. The borough is served by most of the city's subway lines, with Downtown Brooklyn as its commercial and civic center and multiple neighborhood commercial corridors radiating outward.
Residentially, Brooklyn is one of the most diverse housing markets in the United States, encompassing nearly every building type: pre-war co-ops, new-construction luxury condos, multi-million-dollar brownstones, one- and two-family townhouses, beachfront bungalows, and large multi-family rental buildings. The market varies dramatically by neighborhood — Brooklyn Heights and Boerum Hill command some of the highest single-family prices in the city, while the southern and eastern reaches of the borough offer comparatively affordable entry points. Co-op inventory is heavily concentrated in the brownstone belt and along the park edges; condo inventory is concentrated in the waterfront neighborhoods and newer developments; single-family houses dominate the southern neighborhoods. This diversity makes borough-wide averages less useful than property-type-specific and neighborhood-specific data.
