Brooklyn Housing Market Data (Continuously Updated)
Data refreshed July 7, 2026 · Homix
Brooklyn's borough-wide median is firm and grinding slowly higher, while the markets underneath that number pull in opposite directions. The tables below gather the sourced figures: the borough median and price per square foot, plus median, PPSF, and days on market across five core neighborhoods.
A blunt warning: neighborhood-level monthly samples in Brooklyn are small and single-month medians swing violently — a couple of penthouse closings can move a number 90% overnight. Prints like Brooklyn Heights at +91.8% or DUMBO at 220 days on market are almost certainly small-sample artifacts, not trends. Read every single-neighborhood figure as directional. For the full read see The Brooklyn Market in 2026, Block by Block; for communities see Bensonhurst and Sunset Park. Every number carries its source and as-of date.

Quick answers
What is Brooklyn's median home price in 2026?
Per Redfin (as of June 2026), Brooklyn's borough-wide median sale price sits near $1.05M over the most recent three-month window, up about 0.7% year over year, with price per square foot around $750, up roughly 4.5%. Douglas Elliman / Miller Samuel clocked a Q3 2025 borough median of $1.05M, up 7.7%.
Which Brooklyn neighborhood is most expensive?
The waterfront DUMBO and Brooklyn Heights are the trophy submarkets, both above $2M at roughly $1,250–$1,510 per square foot (Redfin, recent month 2026). Note, though, that Brooklyn Heights' reported +91.8% YoY and DUMBO's reported 220 days on market are almost certainly small-sample artifacts, not real trends.
Where in Brooklyn is most affordable and fastest-moving?
Bay Ridge is the southern value anchor: a median asking price around $699K, down about 4.2% year over year, with inventory up roughly 7% (StreetEasy / market reports, 2026). The standout is entry-level velocity — single-family houses priced under $1M move in roughly 18 to 28 days, fast by any 2026 standard.
Why is Williamsburg's median down while PPSF is up?
Redfin's recent-month read put Williamsburg's median near $1.3M, down about 21% year over year, while price per square foot was around $1,520, up roughly 3%, with homes selling in about 69 days. A falling median alongside a rising per-foot number almost always signals a mix shift — more smaller, well-priced condos trading — rather than a true 21% collapse in value.
