Home Prices in Sunset Park
Quarterly Trends by Property Type
The numbers on this page come from the NYC Department of Finance public records — every legally recorded property sale in Sunset Park, 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: March 2025 – February 2026. Excludes $0 transfers, nominal sales, non-arms-length transactions, and bulk portfolio transfers identified through same-date/same-price pattern analysis. Last updated: April 2026.

Takeaway for Sellers
Sunset Park sees its strongest closing activity in June, September and December — 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.

Sunset Park, Brooklyn at a Glance
Sunset Park is a neighborhood in western Brooklyn, sloping from the elevated Sunset Park — the neighborhood's namesake hilltop park with sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline and New York Harbor — down to the industrial waterfront along the Upper Bay. The neighborhood is bounded by Green-Wood Cemetery to the north and Bay Ridge to the south, and is served by the D, N, and R subway lines.
Sunset Park's housing stock consists primarily of brick row houses and attached multi-family homes, with some co-op buildings and new condo construction. The neighborhood is one of Brooklyn's most ethnically diverse, with a large Chinese community centered on Eighth Avenue (Brooklyn's Chinatown) and a substantial Latino community along Fifth Avenue. Industry City, a redeveloped waterfront complex, has brought new commercial activity to the area.
