Home Prices in Brooklyn
Median sale prices by property type from NYC Department of Finance records. Brooklyn sees a mix of co-op, single-family, condo, and multifamily transactions — the median sale price varies significantly by type, so blending them together gives a misleading picture.
Quarterly Price Trends
Median sale price by property type, last four quarters. Price-change arrows compare each quarter to the prior quarter.
Why This Data Is More Complete
The numbers on this page come 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, 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 individual homes are actually selling for in your market.
Data source: NYC Department of Finance. Current 12 months (April 2025 – March 2026) from the rolling sales file; prior-year comparison period (April 2024 – March 2025) from the annualized sales files. Excludes $0 transfers, nominal sales, non-arms-length transactions, and bulk portfolio transfers. Last updated: May 2026.
Best Time to Sell in Brooklyn
Monthly closing volume across the borough over the past 12 months. Peak closing months are highlighted (≥110% of average monthly volume).
Takeaway for Brooklyn Sellers
Closing volume in Brooklyn peaks in July and August. Since the typical sale takes 3 months from listing to closing, you should be listing approximately 3 months before these peak windows — typically in April and May — to hit the optimal closing window.

What This Means for Sellers
Brooklyn has the most diverse housing mix of any New York City borough — no single property type dominates, and meaningful submarkets exist across condos, co-ops, single-family detached, and two- and three-family townhouses. For sellers, this means pricing strategy is almost entirely neighborhood-specific. A Park Slope brownstone competes in a fundamentally different market than a Mill Basin detached single-family or a Williamsburg waterfront condo, even though all three sit within the same borough.

Brooklyn Real Estate FAQ
Median home prices in Brooklyn vary significantly by property type. Based on 11,955 recorded residential sales from April 2025 – March 2026: Co-op Apartments at $460,000 (1,977 sales); Single-Family Homes at $950,000 (1,866 sales); Condominiums at $1.1M (3,334 sales); Two-Family Homes at $1.2M (2,683 sales); Three-Family Homes at $1.5M (937 sales).

Brooklyn at a Glance
Brooklyn is New York City's most populous borough, home to roughly 2.6 million residents across 50 published residential neighborhoods. It occupies the western end of Long Island, bordered by Queens to the north and east, the Atlantic Ocean to the south, and New York Harbor to the west, with the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge connecting it to Staten Island. The Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge, and Williamsburg Bridge link the borough to Manhattan. Brooklyn has the most varied housing stock of any New York City borough, with substantial inventories across every property type — co-ops, condos, single-family detached, two- and three-family townhouses, and converted brownstones. Major institutions include Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Brooklyn Bridge Park, Barclays Center, and the Coney Island boardwalk.
Brooklyn's residential character varies dramatically across neighborhoods. Historic brownstone districts — Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Park Slope, Fort Greene, and Boerum Hill — are dominated by 19th-century two- to four-family townhouses and remain among the most expensive submarkets in the city. The condominium market is concentrated in newer construction along the East River waterfront in Williamsburg, Greenpoint, DUMBO, and Downtown Brooklyn. Single-family detached housing is most common in southern Brooklyn: Mill Basin, Manhattan Beach, Bergen Beach, Marine Park, and Gerritsen Beach. Two- and three-family row houses serve as the predominant housing in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Crown Heights, Bushwick, and East New York. Co-op buildings are clustered in Bay Ridge, Brighton Beach, Sheepshead Bay, and along Ocean Parkway.
