From Bay Ridge to Park Slope and Beyond: What 2026 Brooklyn Home Sales Tell Us
SELLING OR BUYING IN BROOKLYN? UNDERSTANDING THE MARKET STARTS WITH THE RIGHT COMPARISONS.
Bay Ridge had a busier first seven months of 2026 than last year, with more homes sold overall and prices holding steady or rising for every property type. In Dyker Heights, Bath Beach, Sunset Park/Greenwood Heights, South Slope and Park Slope, the picture was more mixed. Multi-family median prices rose in five of the six neighborhoods, while co-op prices softened in Park Slope.
We looked at every recorded home sale by property type from January through July in all six neighborhoods and compared it with the same months of 2025. Because the data comes from NYC Department of Finance records, it includes off-market and for-sale-by-owner sales, not just homes listed publicly.
Here is what we found, neighborhood by neighborhood, and what it means if you are thinking about selling or buying.
BAY RIDGE
Bay Ridge recorded 278 sales, up 9% from 255 a year earlier. The median price across all home types rose 3%, to $950,000.
Year to date through July
| Property type | Sales 2025 | Sales 2026 | Median price 2025 | Median price 2026 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single-family | 58 | 56 | $1,287,500 | $1,430,000 | +11% |
| Multi-family | 76 | 89 | $1,417,500 | $1,470,000 | +4% |
| Co-op | 104 | 110 | $350,000 | $350,000 | 0% |
| Condo | 17 | 23 | $800,000 | $850,000 | +6% |
Single-family homes. The 11% rise in the median reflects larger homes selling, not an 11% rise in value. The typical house that sold this year was about 1,630 square feet, compared with 1,515 last year, while price per square foot held at about $860. The top sale was $3.675 million on Harbor View Terrace.
Multi-family homes. Two-family homes made up nearly three quarters of these sales. Half sold between $1.2 million and $1.73 million. The top two-family sale was $2.6 million on 77th Street.
Co-ops. Co-ops account for about 40% of Bay Ridge sales, and the $350,000 median combines two different markets. The 31 sales on Shore Road had a median of $405,000, with a high of $860,000. The other 79 sales across Bay Ridge had a median of $329,000.
Condos. Bay Ridge has few condos, so the median can move with just a handful of sales. Half sold between $661,000 and $975,000. The top sale was $1.39 million on 92nd Street.
DYKER HEIGHTS
Fewer homes changed hands in Dyker Heights, 78 compared with 89, but house prices increased.
Year to date through July
| Property type | Sales 2025 | Sales 2026 | Median price 2025 | Median price 2026 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single-family | 21 | 24 | $1,170,000 | $1,280,000 | +9% |
| Multi-family | 50 | 39 | $1,510,000 | $1,600,000 | +6% |
| Condo | 17 | 15 | $795,000 | $778,961 | -2% |
Single-family homes. The median rose even though the homes that sold were smaller. The typical house was about 1,340 square feet, compared with 1,670 last year, yet the median rose 9%. Unlike Bay Ridge, the increase can’t be explained by larger homes selling, which points to a real gain in value.
Multi-family homes. Sales slowed while the median rose 6%. Two-family homes made up about two thirds of these sales.
Condos. Prices were tightly grouped, with half selling between $696,000 and $828,000.
BATH BEACH
Bath Beach recorded 90 sales, down from 108, and multi-family buildings posted the biggest price gain.
Year to date through July
| Property type | Sales 2025 | Sales 2026 | Median price 2025 | Median price 2026 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single-family | 8 | 13 | $1,020,000 | $985,000 | -3% |
| Multi-family | 48 | 51 | $1,290,000 | $1,480,000 | +15% |
| Co-op | 20 | 18 | $336,500 | $321,500 | -4% |
| Condo | 32 | 8 | $694,956 | $701,525 | +1% |
Single-family homes. This is a small part of the Bath Beach market, with just 13 sales through July, so a few sales can move the median.
Multi-family homes. This was the strongest segment. The median rose 15%, with half of sales between $1.13 million and $1.9 million. Three-family homes on Bay 25th Street reached $2.8 million.
Co-ops. Bath Beach remains one of the most affordable co-op markets of the six, with every sale this year between $225,000 and $420,000.
Condos. The drop in condo sales needs context. Last year included 18 sales at one new building on Bay Parkway, and this year had nothing comparable.
SUNSET PARK/GREENWOOD HEIGHTS
The city groups Sunset Park and Greenwood Heights together. Combined, they were the steadiest market of the six, with 178 sales compared with 180 last year and a median of $1.275 million, down 1%.
Year to date through July
| Property type | Sales 2025 | Sales 2026 | Median price 2025 | Median price 2026 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single-family | 14 | 5 | $1,477,000 | $1,380,000 | -7% |
| Multi-family | 91 | 87 | $1,505,000 | $1,520,000 | +1% |
| Co-op | 14 | 10 | $480,000 | $571,250 | +19% |
| Condo | 61 | 76 | $850,000 | $801,709 | -6% |
Single-family homes. Only five sold this year, compared with 14 last year, too few for the 7% dip in the median to mean much. Price per square foot held at about $925.
Multi-family homes. These made up about half of all sales, and prices were consistent, with half selling between $1.26 million and $1.66 million.
Co-ops. All 10 sales were in Sunset Park, mostly between 40th and 47th Streets. With so few sales, the 19% rise should be read with caution.
Condos. The combined median hides two very different markets. At least 34 of the 76 sales were in Greenwood Heights, mostly in newer buildings, at a median of about $1.3 million. Sunset Park condos sold for a median of about $612,000.
SOUTH SLOPE
South Slope recorded 96 sales, up from 65, and the median rose 13%, to $1.687 million.
Year to date through July
| Property type | Sales 2025 | Sales 2026 | Median price 2025 | Median price 2026 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single-family | 7 | 6 | $2,195,000 | $2,706,250 | +23% |
| Multi-family | 23 | 18 | $2,525,000 | $2,312,500 | -8% |
| Co-op | 5 | 8 | $1,185,000 | $1,225,000 | +3% |
| Condo | 30 | 64 | $1,192,500 | $1,643,573 | +38% |
Single-family homes. With only six sales, the 23% rise in the median largely reflects bigger houses selling. Price per square foot was roughly flat, at about $1,500.
Multi-family homes. Both sales and the median dipped, with half selling between $1.88 million and $3.03 million.
Condos. New construction drove much of the 38% jump. Newer buildings accounted for 29 of the 64 condo sales, including 22 at The Slope on Fifth, 445 5th Avenue, where the median was $1.71 million. Condos in older buildings rose too, from a median of $1.19 million to $1.47 million. With a relatively small number of sales, though, the mix of apartments sold can move that number.
Even without the 22 sales at 445 5th Avenue, sales would have risen from 65 to about 74, so the pickup went beyond one building.
PARK SLOPE
Park Slope sales fell 13%, to 269, while the median rose 3%, to $2.05 million.
Year to date through July
| Property type | Sales 2025 | Sales 2026 | Median price 2025 | Median price 2026 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single-family | 11 | 17 | $5,175,000 | $4,400,000 | -15% |
| Multi-family | 83 | 72 | $3,335,675 | $3,861,250 | +16% |
| Co-op | 114 | 98 | $1,140,038 | $997,000 | -13% |
| Condo | 102 | 82 | $1,925,000 | $1,997,000 | +4% |
Single-family homes. The lower median mostly reflects smaller houses selling, about 3,000 square feet compared with 3,600 last year. Price per square foot rose 22%, to about $1,790, but smaller homes usually sell for more per square foot, so some of that rise reflects the mix of homes sold. The top sale was $9.5 million on 3rd Street.
Multi-family homes. The median rose 16%, with half selling between $2.76 million and $5.34 million. The top sale was $9.5 million on President Street.
Co-ops. This was the softest part of the Park Slope market. The median fell 13%, with half of sales between $696,000 and $1.64 million. The highest sales, up to $4.3 million, were on Prospect Park West.
Condos. The median rose 4%. Half sold between $1.6 million and $2.73 million, with a high of $4.3 million at 1 Prospect Park West.
What the Numbers Tell Us
A higher median doesn't necessarily mean higher values.
Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights show why it pays to look past the median.
In Bay Ridge, the single-family median rose 11%, but the typical house that sold was larger, and price per square foot stayed flat at about $860. If you own a house in Bay Ridge, that 11% doesn’t mean your home gained 11% in value.
Dyker Heights tells a different story. The typical single-family home that sold was about 20% smaller than last year’s, yet the median still rose 9%. Buyers paid more for less space, a sign of rising values.
The gap between Bay Ridge and Park Slope single-family homes is wide.
Single-family homes in Bay Ridge sold for about $860 per square foot this year, compared with about $1,790 in Park Slope. A year ago, the figures were about $870 and $1,465.
If you’re shopping for a house in Brooklyn, the same budget buys roughly twice the space in Bay Ridge.
Multi-family was one of the strongest segments.
Multi-family medians rose in five of the six neighborhoods. In Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights and Bath Beach, most of these sales are two-family homes.
If you own a two-family home, recent sales are on your side. If you’re buying one, expect to pay more than a year ago in most of these neighborhoods.
Bay Ridge co-ops held steady, but location matters.
The Bay Ridge co-op median was exactly $350,000, the same as last year. But that number hides a real difference. Shore Road co-ops sold for a median of $405,000, compared with $328,000 elsewhere in Bay Ridge, about 24% more.
Even within one neighborhood and one property type, location makes a difference.
Park Slope moved the other way. The co-op median fell 13%, another reason sellers and buyers should look at the most comparable recent sales, not the neighborhood median.
New buildings can skew the numbers.
When many units in a new condo building close around the same time, they can move a neighborhood’s numbers.
South Slope is a good example. Newer buildings accounted for 29 of 64 condo sales and helped push the condo median up 38%. Condos in older buildings rose too, but by less, about 24%.
If you’re pricing an apartment in an older building, don’t compare it with the neighborhood median. Compare it with what similar apartments in similar buildings are selling for.
About These Numbers
All figures come from recorded sales published by the NYC Department of Finance, covering January 1 through July 31 of 2025 and 2026. Neighborhoods follow the city’s boundaries.
We removed three types of sales that don’t reflect a single home’s market value: anything under $100,000, partial-ownership transfers and deals where one price covered several properties.
August is not included yet because recent sales are still being recorded.
Planning a Home Sale or Search?
Neighborhood numbers tell the broader story. Your home’s value is more specific. It depends on many factors, including location, property type, size, condition, distinctive features, the sales that truly compare, timing and the competition.
If you’re thinking about selling, we can help you understand where your home fits in the market, how to position it and how to price it. If you’re buying, we’ll guide you through the process, from finding the right home to understanding what it’s really worth before you make an offer.
