📊 Why this data is more reliable than other sites
The numbers on this page come from the NYC Department of Finance public records — every legally recorded property sale in Clinton Hill, 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.

What This Means for Sellers
Clinton Hill has a heavy condo market — 40.2% of recent sales. Condo buyers tend to be more flexible than co-op buyers because there's no board approval process, but they're also more price-sensitive because they have more options. Building amenities, monthly common charges, and unit-level renovations significantly affect sale price. Marketing needs to highlight what makes the building and the unit competitive within the local condo set.
