Calculating market narrative...
A condo-dominant submarket with moderate rent growth, rising sale prices, and sale listings sitting longer than a year ago.
Median asking rent in Downtown Brooklyn is $4,695/month, $138 below the 5-year high set in Feb 2026. Rents are up +2.1% year over year and +28.6% over the past 5 years. Median sale price is $1.65M, near a 5-year high. Sale listings are clearing 38 days slower than at this point last year.
Across NYC, the FARE Act has tightened agent-listed rental supply since August 2024 by shifting the broker fee to landlords who engage a broker. Roughly 35 to 40% of NYC lease signings occur between mid-June and August 15.

In neighborhoods like Downtown Brooklyn, this has shifted some smaller landlords toward self-listing, which has tightened the supply of agent-listed rentals citywide and lifted competition for what remains on market.
