The cohort, in plain terms.
Cobble Hill's active market carries a median list price of $4,725,000 across 34 listings, with a median asking PSF of $1,801.55 and a median DOM of 40 days. That asking PSF sits roughly 20–25% above comparable inventory in Carroll Gardens and places Cobble Hill firmly above Park Slope's broader price band, where asking PSF on townhouse-heavy stock typically runs in the $1,400–$1,600 range. The four new-construction listings on the board are anchored by 110 Boerum Place, a 2026-delivered building carrying a median ask of $5,450,000 at approximately $2,576 per square foot — the highest PSF in the active leaderboard and a meaningful premium over the neighborhood median. At the upper end of the resale spectrum, 487 Henry Street (1915 construction) carries a single ask at $14,250,000, or roughly $2,272 PSF, while 227 Warren Street lists at $7,995,000 with no recent closed comp to anchor the ask. The zero-loft count across all 34 active listings confirms that Cobble Hill's inventory profile is overwhelmingly composed of townhouses and pre-war condominiums rather than converted industrial product — a structural characteristic that distinguishes it from adjacent Columbia Street Waterfront District inventory.
On the closed side, ACRIS records 33 deeds recorded in the trailing 12 months at a median of $2,750,000 — a $1,975,000 gap below the current active median asking price. That spread is not unusual for a low-volume, prestige-townhouse market where the asking stack skews toward larger assets that transact infrequently, but it warrants attention for any analysis of actual clearing levels. The building leaderboard shows zero ACRIS-verified closings at any of the six named properties, meaning all of the listed addresses are contributing to active asking dynamics only, with no recorded deed activity to set comp benchmarks at the address level. 295 Warren Street (1915, asking $3,999,000 at ~$1,470 PSF) and 52 Dean Street (2006, asking $1,149,000 at ~$1,480 PSF) present the most accessible entry points in the active set, though both sit well above the ACRIS-sourced trailing median.

Cobble Hill Buyer Memo — Private
Cobble Hill's ask-side is running at a $4.725M median with DOM clustering around 40 days, but ACRIS shows the 12-month closed median at $2.75M — a spread that signals sellers are still chasing a price the market hasn't confirmed in volume.
1. Aging inventory to push on: 227 Warren Street ($7.995M), 295 Warren Street ($3.999M), and 487 Henry Street ($14.25M) all show zero ACRIS-verified closings and are sitting on asking-side inventory with no transaction anchor — negotiate against the gap, not the ask.
2. New construction to tour first: 110 Boerum Place (2026 delivery, 4 sponsor units at ~$2,576 PSF) is the only active new-construction cohort; compare its PSF against the $1,801 neighborhood median before stepping foot inside.
3. Off-market angle: 439 Hicks Street — two small units at ~$1,133 PSF in a pre-war building with no recent sales suggests a consolidation or estate situation worth a cold approach to the owner of record.
The spread between ACRIS closed data and active asks gives a disciplined buyer real room; open every negotiation at or below the $2.75M ACRIS median PSF-equivalent and make the seller defend the gap.
