Co-ops made up 47 of the 69 homes that closed in Brooklyn Heights between April and June, more than every other property type put together, and they set the tone for the quarter: a $750,000 median, 25 days to contract, and 73% clearing asking. At the other end sit 10 house sales with a $7,845,000 median. That split is the whole story here. Across all 69 closings the median came to $1,200,116, the typical listing reached contract in 27 days, and 57.5% closed at or above ask (Compass closed-sales records, Q2 2026). This is the monthly Brooklyn Heights market report, refreshed as new closings record; the borough-wide picture lives in our Brooklyn market report.
What sold, and for how much
Co-ops carried the volume, 47 of the 69 sales, and priced well below everything else at a $750,000 median. Condos took the middle at 12 sales and a $1,925,000 median. Houses were the thin, expensive lane: 10 sales, a $7,845,000 median, and an average north of $9,000,000.
Property type | Sales (Q2) | Median sale price | Average sale price | Avg. price per sq ft | Median days on market | Avg. vs ask | At or above ask |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Co-ops | 47 | $750,000 | $1,187,348 | $1,530 (7 reporting) | 25 (26 reporting) | +3.1% | 73% (26 reporting) |
Condos | 12 | $1,925,000 | $2,783,167 | $1,858 (12 reporting) | 26 (7 reporting) | -1.0% | 29% (7 reporting) |
Houses | 10 | $7,845,000 | $9,282,000 | $1,808 (10 reporting) | 89 (7 reporting) | -5.5% | 29% (7 reporting) |
Read the house row with the small sample in mind: 10 sales is enough to move a median a long way, and the average of $9,282,000 sits well above the $7,845,000 median because the top of the market runs far. Price per foot is where the three types converge rather than separate. Condos ran $1,858 a square foot, houses $1,808, and co-ops $1,530, a tighter band than you find in most neighborhoods we track. The quarter's highest sale was 192 Columbia Heights, a 6,625-square-foot house that closed at $24,500,000.
Where the money went
Brooklyn Heights trades as a barbell. Nearly half of the quarter's sales, 44.9%, closed under $1,000,000, almost all co-ops, and another 24.6% closed above $3,000,000, almost all houses and larger condos. The middle is thin: 13.0% landed between $1,000,000 and $1,500,000, 5.8% between $1,500,000 and $2,000,000, and 11.6% between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000 (Compass closed-sales records, Q2 2026). By bedroom count the ladder climbs cleanly: one-bedrooms posted a $785,500 median across 12 sales, two-bedrooms $1,729,000 across 14, and three-bedrooms $2,824,998 across 8. Each step up in size moved the median up with it, with no crossovers to explain.

Pace and negotiation
Most of Brooklyn Heights moved quickly this quarter, and the exceptions were concentrated. Among the 40 sales reporting marketing time, 57.5% went to contract inside 30 days, 15.0% took 30 to 60, 12.5% ran 60 to 89, and 15.0% sat past 90 (Compass closed-sales records, Q2 2026). Co-ops drove the speed: a 25-day median with 73% clearing ask and an average of 3.1% above it. Condos landed close behind at a 26-day median, though only 29% cleared ask and the average came in near 1% under. Houses were the slow, negotiated lane, an 89-day median with roughly 5.5% given back at the table. Apartment buyers here are competing; house buyers are negotiating.
For buyers right now
Figure out which Brooklyn Heights you are shopping before you write, because leverage runs in opposite directions. On the co-op side, nearly three-quarters of sales cleared asking and the median reached contract in 25 days, so come with clean terms and a real number; in that lane, holding out for a discount usually costs you the apartment. The board package is its own hurdle, so line up finances and references early and read the building's rules before you fall for the layout. On the house side, the typical sale closed about 5.5% under ask and marketing times stretched past two months, which is room to negotiate and time to run a full inspection. Anyone buying at the top of this market should underwrite the specific building rather than the median, since 10 sales cannot price a townhouse.
For sellers right now
Price to your property type, because the three move on different clocks. Co-ops priced to recent comps are clearing ask more than seven times in ten and going to contract in under four weeks, so a clean, well-documented listing rarely needs to sit. Condos are moving nearly as fast on days but converting at a lower rate on price, which means the asking number is doing more work; set it to what closed, not to what you hope. Houses are the patient end: the ones that sold gave back about 5.5% on average and often ran two to three months on market. Your first weeks of exposure carry most of the outcome, so come to market documented, photographed, and priced to this quarter's closings.

What are property taxes like in Brooklyn Heights?
Among Q2 sales recording a tax bill, the median was about $1,795 a month on condos across 10 sales and about $2,211 a month on houses across 6. Co-op taxes are paid through the building inside monthly maintenance rather than as a separate bill. Tax treatment varies by property class, assessment history, and any abatement on the building, so check the actual bill on any specific address.

What would your home sell for right now?
The Rahmé Team at Compass tracks Brooklyn Heights closings block by block, and on 69 quarterly sales a neighborhood median cannot price your line, your floor, or your board minutes. Call (718) 233-3365 or contact us with the address. The borough-wide numbers live in the Brooklyn market report.
All figures Q2 2026, computed from Compass closed-sales records pulled August 5, one record per sale, condos, co-ops, and houses only. Days on market and at-or-above shares cover the 40 sales reporting an asking price; price per square foot covers the 29 sales reporting size; bedroom medians cover sales reporting a bedroom count. With 69 sales in the quarter, and property types as small as 10 house sales, neighborhood-level figures move with a small number of closings, which is why the reporting count sits next to every subset. Sales at or under $50,000 and recorded parking or storage units sit out of the averages while still counting toward every median and sale count.
Next update: September 2026, once August's closings post.
