Brooklyn owners of two- to three-family homes netted a median $439,000 resale gain over the past two decades, the highest return for that property type anywhere in the city, according to a new report from PropertyShark published last week and covered by BK Reader.

Across all property types, the typical Brooklyn seller netted $159,000 between 2005 and 2025, according to PropertyShark. That placed Brooklyn second in the city, just behind Staten Island’s $164,000 median gain.
