Top 100 Brooklyn Home Sales in 2025
Map by Mary Diduch
Brooklyn’s residential market grew in 2025, thanks to a record-smashing deal in Gravesend and strong appetite for homes in tree-lined, brownstone-heavy neighborhoods close to Manhattan.
Cobble Hill led the charge, as it did in 2024, with the highest average home sale price last year, according to a TRD Data analysis of deeds filed with the city last year. However, Cobble Hill’s average of about $2.9 million was about 5 percent lower than its average of $3.1 million the year before.
Following Cobble Hill was Dumbo, which had an average deal size of about $2.7 million. The waterfront neighborhood had moved up three places from 2024, when its average was under $2 million.
However, Cobble Hill was not the busiest Brooklyn neighborhood last year, as it inked just 75 deals, down from 77 the year before. In 2025, the busiest neighborhood was Park Slope, which saw 509 home sales.
Overall, Brooklyn’s residential market fared better in 2025 than it did the year before. In 2025, the average home sale in 2025 was about $1.3 million across more than 11,300 sales. In 2024, there were almost 10,500 transactions with an average of around $1.2 million.
Gravesend recorded the priciest home sale in Brooklyn last year — and it was an all-time borough record. Eli Gindi of the Gindi real estate family, which founded the Century 21 department store chain, sold a townhouse at 2126 East 4th Street for $32 million to Victor Hakim, CEO and founder of Choice Home Warranty.
Neighborhoods closer to Manhattan dominated the top 100 home sales in Brooklyn last year. For instance, the second-priciest deal was for a Brooklyn Heights townhouse at 35 Remsen Street that went for more than $18.4 million.
Meanwhile, Park Slope had the most top-100 deals last year at 16, followed by Brooklyn Heights (15) and Cobble Hill (10).However, Manhattan remained, unsurprisingly, home to the top home sales and priciest neighborhoods citywide. Manhattan’s sales volume, in terms of average dollar amount and number of deals, also improved in 2025 compared to the prior year. Meanwhile, the Plaza District held on to its crown as the Big Apple neighborhood with the highest average home sale last year — $5.7 million.
