2025 Quarterly Price Trend
The "Density" Value Play
The massive divergence between stable median prices (+1.6%) and surging PPSF (+29.2%) proves that buyers are prioritizing efficiency. Smaller, high-quality units and condos are driving the market volume over large, unrenovated shells.
Multifamily & Rental Yields
With Brooklyn vacancy under 2% and Bushwick 2-bedrooms commanding $4,000+, renovated 2-4 family properties offer a significant hedge against inflation. The rental market is currently bolstering cap rates across the neighborhood.

2026 Bushwick Strategy Guide
Where to allocate capital next year
Buyers & Investors
- Negotiation Power: With DOM at 80 days, use the 95-97% list ratio to bid aggressively on stale listings.
- The Condo Play: Focus on density. The market is paying a premium for finished square footage.
- Value-Add: Target 3-family homes with "shell" status to force appreciation via renovation.
Sellers
- Pricing Strategy: Inventory is rising slightly. Pricing right at the $828/PPSF mark is critical to avoid the 80-day linger.
- Presentation: Staging is non-negotiable in this market to justify the higher PPSF values.
- Q1 2026 Timing: List early in Jan/Feb to capture the buyers who missed out on the Q4 rush.
