📊 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 Mount Hope, 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 — Bronx. 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. Note: NYC Department of Finance reports Mount Hope together with Mount Eden as a combined dataset. The figures on this page reflect that combined data. Last updated: May 2026.

What This Means for Sellers
Mount Hope has a heavy three-family housing stock — 36.4% of recent sales. Three-family buyers are dominated by investors and owner-occupants planning to live in one unit while renting the other two. Pricing is highly sensitive to rental income, building condition, and the legal status of all three units (rent-stabilized vs. free-market makes a significant difference). Marketing needs to reach the right investor pool and present rental performance accurately.
