A QUICK LOOK
Over the last month, the average rental price in Brooklyn increased by 1.70%, from $2,815.91 to $2,863.78. The average rental price for a studio unit increased by 2.65%, from $2,223.12 to $2,281.96. The average rental price for a one-bedroom unit increased by 2.22%, from $2.721.93 to $2,782.38. The average rental price for a two-bedroom unit increased by 0.69%, from $3,502.67 to $3,526.99. Year-over-year, rental prices are up across-the-board with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom prices increasing by 2.15%, 4.73%, and 1.96%, respectively.
This past month, thirteen out of the fifteen neighborhoods tracked by this report saw their average rental prices increase, with only DUMBO (-2.90%) and Downtown Brooklyn (-0.23%) experiencing corrections. Greenpoint continues to post strong month-over-month average price increases, this impressive consistent growth is the direct result of a steady stream of listings coming onto the market from newer developments in the area, specifically from buildings like One Blue Slip and The Greenpoint, both of which are located along Greenpoint’s ever-changing waterfront.
As we enter the warmer months of 2019, it will be interesting to see how real estate market seasonality, together with other market drivers, such as Amazon’s exit and the now-abandoned L-train shutdown plan, will affect the greater Brooklyn rental market.
• During March, the average rental price in Bedford-Stuyvesant increased by 0.82%.
• Building on the momentum from last month’s increase, the average rental price in Boerum Hill during March increased by 6.72%. The majority of this price increase occurred within two-bedroom pricing where a handful of luxury units increased two-bedroom pricing by 17.75%.
• After a large increase last month, the average rental price in Brooklyn Heights increased by a relatively subdued 2.87% during March.
• March was a relatively stable month for rental pricing in Bushwick, where pricing increased by just 0.73%.

• March was a stable month for rental pricing in Downtown Brooklyn, where the average price decreased by just 0.23%.
• While studio pricing in Fort Greene increased by an impressive 4.44% during March, the average overall Fort Greene rental price increased by just 1.61% in that same span.

The Report Explained
The Brooklyn Rental Market Report™ compares fluctuation in the borough’s rental data on a monthly basis. It is an essential tool for potential renters seeking transparency in the Brooklyn apartment market and a benchmark for landlords to efficiently and fairly adjust individual property rents in Brooklyn.
The Brooklyn Rental Market Report™ is based on a cross-section of data from available listings and priced under $10,000, with ultraluxury property omitted to obtain a true monthly rental average. Our data is aggregated from the MNS proprietary database and sampled from a specific mid-month point to record current rental rates offered by landlords during that particular month. It is then combined with information from the REBNY Real Estate Listings Source (RLS), OnLine Residential (OLR.com) and R.O.L.E.X. (Real Plus).
