Downtown Brooklyn’s housing market continued to show resilience in the second quarter of 2025. Prices generally moved higher across both condos and co-ops, while sales pace varied depending on property type. The data points to a market where buyers remain active, but are making careful choices, and sellers who price strategically continue to see strong results.
Downtown Brooklyn’s inventory is defined mostly by vertical living, with townhouses largely absent. Alongside high rise condos and co-ops, there exists a unique mixed use building type — the condop. In a condop, the commercial spaces (like retail or office units) are structured as individual condominium units, while the residential portion of the building functions as a single, large co-op. This hybrid model allows for the benefits of co-op pricing and rules for residential buyers while the developer retains the freedom of condo ownership for the commercial spaces. Brooklyn Point, located at 1 City Point, is a prime example of a condop in Downtown Brooklyn.

Q2 brought slight price increases for two-bedroom co-ops, offset by longer selling timelines. The median price edged up just over 2% and the average climbed 7% from the first quarter, despite showing YOY drops. However, homes took longer to trade, with days on market increasing from 42 to 66. Compared with a year ago, both median and average prices remain lower, and the longer timelines suggest buyers are approaching these properties more cautiously despite the recent uptick in values.
