The Brooklyn housing market in May 2026
Prices in Brooklyn edged up to a median of $1,050,000 in May 2026, 1.7% higher than a year earlier. Homes listed that month had a median asking price of $1,199,000, and sold for a median of $733 per square foot. The average sale closed at 98.0% of asking price, a sign that buyers are negotiating; just 10% of homes sold above list.
There were 3,569 homes for sale at the end of May, down 5% from a year earlier, or 7.3 months of supply, a market that favours buyers. The typical home that sold had been listed for 75 days, 13 days longer than a year earlier. 6% of homes went under contract within two weeks of listing. Compared with May 2025, owners listed 4% fewer homes and sales were down 18%.
21% of listings had a price cut in May 2026, a moderate share.
For FSBO outreach, this means buyers have plenty to choose from, so owners who have not sold within a few weeks are often ready to talk to an agent or weigh a direct offer. The trend to watch: slower sales than last year.

When Brooklyn homeowners list
Listings follow a clear seasonal cycle in Brooklyn. Over the three years to May 2026, new listings peaked in March and April, with April running about 29% above the monthly average, and bottomed out in December, about 44% below it. Homes that sold in July had spent the least time on the market (a median of about 51 days), and those that sold in November the most (about 85 days).
Have your list, scripts and mail pieces ready by February, so you reach new FSBO owners in their first weeks. Sales are slowest around November, so FSBO owners still on the market then have often been waiting for months and tend to be the most open to help.
What sells in Brooklyn: homes by type
Condos and co-ops made up 50% of sales in Brooklyn in the 12 months to May 2026, followed by two-to-four-unit buildings at 26%. In May 2026, two-to-four-unit buildings sold for a median of $1,454,500, 84% more than condos and co-ops ($792,500), and took 19 days longer to sell. Two-to-four-unit buildings, a common target for investors buying from owners, made up 26% of sales. Because condos lead the market here, expect many Brooklyn FSBO sellers to be unit owners rather than owners of houses.
| Type | Homes sold, 12 months | Share of sales | Median sale price, May 2026 | Median days on market, May 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Condos and co-ops | 3,418 | 50% | $792,500 | 70 |

Working Brooklyn FSBO leads
- Treat condo owners separately. Condos and co-ops made up 50% of Brooklyn sales over the past year and sold for a median $792,500 in May 2026, so tailor your pitch to unit owners, whose buyers weigh monthly association fees alongside the price.
- Flag small multifamily owners. Two-to-four-unit buildings made up 26% of sales in Brooklyn, at a median $1,454,500 in May 2026. Owners of these often weigh an offer against the rent they collect, so bring rent and return figures.
- Bring the numbers. On a $1,050,000 home, each 1% of commission is about $10,500, the money most FSBO owners are trying to keep, so a net-sheet comparison lands better than a pitch.
- Use the 75-day mark. Half of the Brooklyn homes that sold in May 2026 had been listed 75 days or less, so an FSBO still for sale after that is likely stalling.
- Stay compliant and verify. Stop contacting any owner who says "no agents" or "no investors", confirm ownership and liens in Brooklyn records before an offer, and add skip tracing for records without a phone number.
