Executive Overview

As of April 2026, the real estate market in Brooklyn, NY (ZIP: 11223) reflects a median sold price of $1,346,500, indicating a robust market with a notable appreciation trend. The neighborhood has increased 15% since 2023, showcasing strong demand and a willingness among buyers to invest at higher price points. Despite this upward trajectory in sold prices, the median days on market stands at 413, suggesting a slower sales velocity and potential pricing friction as properties linger longer before closing.

The market appears to be characterized by elevated inventory levels, with 5 active listings compared to 90 sold properties analyzed, indicating excess supply relative to sales activity. This dynamic may provide buyers with some negotiation leverage, even as the overall market temperature remains neutral. With median market rent at $3,330, the rental demand continues to support property values, although moderate interest rate pressure, with current 30-year fixed mortgage rates averaging 6.38%, may impact affordability for potential buyers.
