Brooklyn Weekly Market Update

Week of 3/31

Summary:

Brooklyn’s spring season has been quieter than expected, though supply is finally surpassing previous years' levels. With many sellers also being buyers, this could signal the market breaking free from its volume trap. However, demand remains underwhelming, making it worth watching whether rising supply draws more buyers into the market.

Summary:

Brooklyn is still seeing typical seasonal slowdown. While supply has seen small gains over the past three weeks, the total increase is just 100 units—barely enough to signal a major shift. Demand is mirroring levels from 2023-2024, which were relatively slow years for the borough. That said, the luxury segment is showing promising growth, which could be an early sign of broader market improvements ahead.
