Shared submarket with Fort Greene
Q2 2026 Update · Updated October 2026
What the Q2 numbers say
Corcoran reports Clinton Hill together with Fort Greene and Prospect Heights. That combined market recorded 20 townhouse closings in the second quarter, so individual numbers can swing, but the direction is clear.
Two- to four-family houses, the most common Clinton Hill townhouse, led the quarter. Their median rose 22% to $3.650M, up 23% from the first quarter, and price per square foot rose 8% to $1,154. Single-family houses sold at a median of $3.800M, roughly level with a year ago.
Multi-family sales fell 32% while their prices rose, a sign of limited supply. That supports owners who price carefully against comparable Fort Greene sales.
