The Corcoran report groups Bed-Stuy with Crown Heights, Lefferts and Bushwick, so I pulled the Bed-Stuy closings myself. From July through September, 83 one- to four-family townhouses sold in Bed-Stuy at a median of $1.895M, or about $648 per square foot.
The market is wider than most people think. About four in ten sales (35 of 83) closed at $2M or more, and five topped $3M, led by a $3.65M sale on Putnam Avenue. At the same time, 24 sales closed under $1.5M. Block, condition and configuration explain most of that range.
The median house was on the market for 42 days, and about a third sold within 30 days. But 14 houses took more than 90 days. In my experience, the difference is usually the asking price, not the house.

The bigger picture: Q2 2026
Bed-Stuy, together with Crown Heights, Prospect-Lefferts Gardens and Bushwick, was again the busiest townhouse market in Brooklyn. Its 145 closings in the second quarter were more than half of every townhouse sale in the borough, and multi-family sales jumped 42% from a year earlier.
Single-family prices rose sharply. The median reached $2.400M, up 18% from a year ago and up from $2.120M in the first quarter. Part of that rise reflects bigger houses: the average single-family sale was about 2,960 square feet, up 19%, while the average price per square foot slipped 4% to $778. Buyers paid more because they were buying more house.
Two- to four-family houses held steady at a median of $1.773M, down 4% from a year ago but up 3% from the first quarter. With 118 sales, buyers are clearly active, but they are price-sensitive. In this segment, pricing a house right from day one matters more than anything else.
Market Overview
The Bedford-Stuyvesant Brownstones Market
Bedford-Stuyvesant offers the broadest range of townhouse product in Brooklyn — and the widest range of values. Sub-neighborhood location, landmark status, property configuration, and condition all drive meaningful differences in price. As someone who lives in Bed-Stuy, Omari tracks this market at the block level.
What's Moving
What Sells Quickly
Landmarked brownstones on the Stuyvesant Heights blocks with intact original detail and single-family or owner-occupied two-family configuration achieve the strongest prices. Well-priced two-families attract competitive buyer pools across the spectrum from owner-occupants to investors.
What Sits
Properties priced as if they're on the best blocks when they're not face resistance from buyers who know the difference. The Bed-Stuy market is sophisticated — buyers understand the sub-neighborhood geography and price accordingly.

Value Drivers
What Affects Bedford-Stuyvesant Prices
Stuyvesant Heights Premium
The landmarked Stuyvesant Heights blocks command significant premiums over other parts of Bed-Stuy. Location within or outside the historic district is the single biggest value driver.
Limestone vs Brownstone
The larger limestone buildings on the Bushwick Avenue corridor attract different buyers at different price points than classic brownstone rowhouses.
Configuration
Single-family, two-family, three-family, and mixed-use each attract distinct buyer pools. Configuration drives which segment of the market you're pricing into.
Condition Range
Bed-Stuy buyers range from turnkey seekers to investors comfortable with major renovation. Honest condition assessment and appropriate pricing are essential.
