October 1 to 31, 2026 closings. Four sales are too few for a trend, so October house results are shown sale by sale. Price per square foot uses square footage reported in Compass listing records.
Takeaway
October's house sales confirm the top of the market is active. The house that sold far above asking was priced to start a conversation.
03 / Pricing
Does pricing right still matter for a brownstone?
More than anything else in the data. In Q3, Park Slope homes that never reduced their price went into contract in a median of 26 days and sold 4.6% above their original asking price. Homes that reduced took a median of 71 days and sold 7.5% below. On a $1.8 million home, that gap is about $217,800. October repeated the pattern across all types of home: the 18 sales that never reduced sold an average of 3.8% above asking, and the 6 that did sold 10.3% below.
Pricing results cover all Park Slope homes, not only houses. Q3 figures are from the Q3 2026 report. These results show a pattern, not proof that pricing alone caused each outcome.
Takeaway
The first price does most of the work. A reduction rarely wins back what a high start costs.
04 / Apartments
What about Park Slope condos and co-ops?
The momentum shifted in October. In Q3, co-ops were the most competitive type of home in Park Slope: 78% sold at or above their original asking price. That held into September, at 83%. In October, condos took the lead. 75% of condos sold at or above asking, up from 50% in September, while co-ops slipped to 56%.
October 2026 | Sales | Median price | Avg. vs. original ask | At or above ask | Median days to contract |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Condos | 14 | $1,801,944 | 1.5% above | 75% (9 of 12) | 53 |
Co-ops | 11 | $880,000 | 2.0% below | 56% (5 of 9) | 65 |
1 to 4 family houses | 4 | $5,985,000 | see sales above | see sales above | see sales above |
All Park Slope | 29 | $1,315,000 | 0.3% above | 62% (15 of 24) | 44.5 |
Takeaway
Condo sellers have the edge this fall. Co-op sellers should expect buyers to compare more carefully than they did in the summer.

Match your house to recent sales on width, legal units, condition and outdoor space. The neighborhood median is only a starting point.
Price for the first few weeks
Park Slope houses went into contract in a median of 22 days in Q3. An opening price that invites competition protects your final number.

Fouad's market read
Park Slope buyers will still pay up for the right brownstone. The houses that did best this fall were priced to start a conversation and were ready on the first day. The apartment market is shifting too, with condos now drawing the strongest bidding.

How we gathered this data. Q3 2026 figures (July 1 to September 30, 2026 closings) come from our published Park Slope Q3 2026 market report, based on Compass data pulled October 9, 2026 and NYC ACRIS, DOB and Department of Finance records checked October 10. October 2026 figures cover October 1 to 31, 2026 closings in the Compass Park Slope area, from Compass sold data pulled November 5, 2026, with sale prices checked against NYC ACRIS deed records where recorded. Duplicate records, mixed use properties, buildings with five or more units, parking, package sales and non market transfers were removed, and condops are counted as co-ops. Asking price results compare each sale with its original list price and use only sales with a usable listing record (24 of 29 in October). Some October closings had not yet been recorded when the data was pulled. Figures describe homes that sold and are not an individual property valuation.
