A QUICK LOOK
Over the last month, the average rental price in Brooklyn decreased by 0.30%, from $2,790.68 to $2,782.29. The average rental price for a studio unit decreased by 0.90%, from $2,246.68 to $2,226.24. The average rental price for a one-bedroom unit increased by 0.10%, from $2,668.72 to $2,671.52. The average rental price for a two-bedroom unit decreased by 0.22%, from $3,456.82 to $3,449.10. Year-over-year, studio rental prices are up 2.94%, while one and two-bedroom rental prices are up 3.14% and 1.34%, respectively. Overall, the average rental price in Brooklyn is up 2.33% from this time last year.
This past month, six out of fifteen tracked neighborhoods saw their prices improve month-over-month. That list includes: Bay Ridge (+0.99%), Boerum Hill (+0.38%), Bushwick (+0.99%), Clinton Hill (+1.30%), Greenpoint (+0.34%), and Williamsburg (1.49%). Out of the remaining nine neighborhoods, six saw their prices stay within 100 basis points of their December averages. Out of all unit types, one-bedrooms performed the best on a by-neighborhood basis with prices improving in nine out of fifteen tracked neighborhoods. During January, the most expensive studio, one, and two-bedroom units were in DUMBO, while the least expensive units were all in Bay Ridge.
One important observation this past month was the immediate effect the reversal of the L-train shutdown had on Williamsburg rents, which increased by 1.49% month-over-month. As we approach a busier cycle in the rental market, it will be interesting to see how this sudden change of plans continues to influence the greater Brooklyn rental market.
