Market takeaways

August 2026 reinforced Crown Heights as one of Brooklyn's most dynamic residential markets.

The condo segment's average price per square foot of $1,147 reflects the quality and finish level of newer development in the neighborhood. The townhouse and multi-family segment's wide price spread, from under $400,000 to over $4 million, highlights the opportunity that exists across different property conditions and investor profiles. With average days on market in the high 60s to high 70s across both segments, Crown Heights is moving at a measured but consistent pace, neither overheated nor stagnant.

Whether you are evaluating a brownstone investment, a boutique condo purchase, or a family home, the data from August 2026 provides a clear picture of where the market stands heading into fall.
