The Brooklyn housing market remains strong in the second quarter of 2026, where the median price of a home rose 6% from the same time the previous year to hit a median sales price of $899,000, according to the latest report from PropertyShark.
Carroll Gardens was the most expensive Brooklyn neighborhood to buy a home, the report said. The median sales price was $2.68 million, doubling its year-over-year median for the sharpest price increase among the city’s neighborhoods.
This also marked the third consecutive quarter the neighborhood notched median sales north of $2 million, the report said.
The most recent price performance was shaped by multiple factors, including three units at 238 Degraw St. that sold for between $2.35 million and $4.49 million. Another contributing factor was a change in the mix of properties sold with two co-ops and two houses trading in Q2 2026 versus four co-ops and no houses a year ago, according to the report.
In addition, there were two houses sold in Q2 2026 that commanded hefty prices: A 3,960-square-foot brownstone sold for $7 million while a 4,478-square-foot brick townhouse fetched $7.5 million.
The Columbia Street Waterfront District was the second most expensive Brooklyn neighborhood, with a $1.88 million median sale price, while DUMBO was third in the borough, with a median sales price of $1.83 million. While DUMBO prices rose modestly, sales increased by nearly half to total 37 deals in Q2 2026, 12 more than during the same period last year. This increase was driven entirely by two addresses with 60 Front St. and 70 Washington St. closing six sales each.
Park Slope, Fort Greene, Cobble Hill and Greenpoint also notched higher median sales for the second quarter, the report said.
At the opposite end of the pricing spectrum stood Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn Heights and Gowanus where homes in these neighborhoods had some price drips, likely due to a result of fewer houses changing hands, PropertyShark said.
