The 2026 quarterly medians were $590,657 in Q1, $775,000 in Q2 and $675,000 in Q3. Forty sales is a larger sample than most Brooklyn neighborhoods produce, so the median is a more stable guide here.

PropertyShark counts 6,401 residential properties in Kensington: 2,782 co-op units, 2,201 two-to-four family homes, 786 single-family homes, 618 condo units and 13 other. Co-ops are about 43% of the stock, so most Kensington transactions involve a board or an association. In the Q3 2026 sales split, 24 co-ops sold at a $530,000 median and 11 houses sold at $1.8 million. The house figure rests on 11 sales, so it shows direction only.
A cash buyer removes the mortgage contingency and the appraisal step, so the deal depends on the contract, the title and any board approval. Co-op boards review a buyer’s finances whether or not a mortgage is involved, so a cash buyer prepares financial documents for the board package. A real estate attorney reviews the contract and the proprietary lease, and Joseph Ranola is not an attorney.
PropertyShark reports a median year built of 1941, 62.7% renter-occupied housing and a population of 39,689. Green-Wood Cemetery covers nearly 500 acres next to the neighborhood, according to Homes.com. Buyers who want an owner-occupied unit and buyers who want a rental both find stock here.
