§2 · The Read

The cohort, in plain terms.

Brooklyn Heights carries 85 active listings at a median ask of $1,795,000 and $1,739 per square foot, with inventory moving at a median of 32 days on market — a pace that signals steady absorption rather than either urgency or stagnation. The active pool includes six loft listings and two new-construction units, leaving the market dominated by pre-war and mid-century cooperative stock. ACRIS records 108 deeds filed in the trailing 12 months at a median closed price of $3,072,500, a figure that sits roughly 71% above the current median ask — a spread explained largely by compositional mix, as cooperative units (which transact at lower absolute prices and are well-represented in active inventory) close well below the condominium transactions that anchor the ACRIS median. The divergence is not noise; it reflects two structurally distinct buyer pools operating in the same zip code simultaneously.

Building-level data sharpens the picture. At 360 Furman Street, a 1928 conversion fronting the waterfront, ACRIS records 22 closings at a $1,725,000 median against 10 active asks at $2,175,000 — a 20.7% premium embedded in current asking prices relative to where deals have actually cleared, at an asking PSF of approximately $1,469. The two newest-vintage addresses tell a more complex story: 50 Bridge Park Drive (2019) logged six ACRIS closings at a $2,362,500 median while five active asks sit at $5,750,000, a 58.9% ask-to-close gap that likely reflects a mix of unit-size variance and seller anchoring on replacement cost. At 1 Clinton Street (2020), the dynamic inverts — six ACRIS closings at a $2,887,500 median sit 80.5% above the single active ask of $1,600,000, suggesting the listed unit differs materially in size or tier from prior closings. Compared to Cobble Hill, where active PSF runs closer to $1,400 on a thinner inventory base, Brooklyn Heights commands a consistent premium on a per-foot basis. Against Downtown Brooklyn's new-construction corridor, the Heights trades at a discount in absolute price but holds its PSF ground through the scarcity of true waterfront and landmarked product.

Asking range: low / median / high of list_price across all currently-active listings in the building (Cotality REBNY RLS). Median, never average — resistant to a single high-end outlier.
Closing range: low / median / high of document_amt from ACRIS recorded deeds at this building’s tax block + lot, last 365 days. Excludes deeds < $50,000 — gifts, intra-family transfers, nominal $1 deeds.
Liquidity: ACRIS closings ÷ active asks. ≥ 2× = Liquid · 1-2× = Active comps · 0.25-1× = Thin trading · < 0.25× = No recent sales. Sold-out buildings (≥4 closings, 0 active) get “No current inventory”.
Discount-to-ask: median ACRIS closing price ÷ median active asking price − 1, computed only when both numbers are present at the building level.
Distribution strip plot: each teal dot = one ACRIS closing in the last 12 months. Brass vertical line = median active asking price. If the line sits to the right of the cluster, asking is above where deals actually clear; inside the cluster = at-market; left of the cluster = ask is below recent prints.

## Brooklyn Heights — Buyer Tactical Memo

Inventory is lean at 85 actives with median DOM holding at 32 days, but the ask-to-close spread at several buildings signals room to work.

1. Stale inventory to pressure: 360 Furman Street is the obvious target — 10 active asks sitting at a median $2,175,000 against ACRIS-verified closings at $1,725,000, a 20.7% gap. Units aging past 90 days here should be opened aggressively at or below the closing median.

2. New construction to tour first: 50 Bridge Park Drive (2019) and 1 Clinton Street (2020) are the two active new-construction nodes. Clinton's single active ask at $1,600,000 sits well below ACRIS-verified closings at $2,887,500 — tour it immediately, that pricing anomaly resolves fast.

3. Off-market angle: 38-44 State Street — four ACRIS closings at a $3,750,000 median with zero current inventory suggests a controlled building worth a direct cold approach to the board or managing agent.

Come in at 8–12% below ask on 360 Furman; full ask or above on the Clinton outlier.
