📊 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 Coney Island, 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, Rolling Sales Data — Brooklyn. Period: April 2025 – March 2026. Excludes $0 transfers, nominal sales, non-arms-length transactions, and bulk portfolio transfers identified through same-date/same-price pattern analysis. Last updated: May 2026.
Best Time to Sell in Coney Island
Monthly closing volume based on 116 residential sales recorded by the NYC Department of Finance over the past 12 months. Months highlighted in orange indicate above-average demand (≥110% of the average monthly volume).
Takeaway for Sellers
Coney Island sees its strongest closing activity in January, April, May, September, and November — the months highlighted in orange above. These peaks indicate when buyer demand is highest and the most transactions close.
Since the typical sale takes 3 months from listing to closing you should be listing approximately 3 months before these peak windows to position your home when competition among buyers is strongest.
The optimal listing date depends on your property type, your timeline, and current inventory levels. A strategy session can pinpoint the right window for your specific home.

What This Means for Sellers
Coney Island's market is dominated by co-op apartment sales, which represent 69.8% of all recorded transactions. Most buyers entering the neighborhood are looking for apartments in elevator or walk-up buildings, and most sellers are competing with other co-op units. If you own a single-family home or condo here, you're in a smaller, less competitive segment where pricing strategy and marketing can have outsized impact. For co-op sellers, understanding building-specific dynamics — maintenance costs, board approval timing, building reputation — matters more than neighborhood-level trends.
