Ditmas Park’s Q3 2026 median fell 42.2% to $578,244, but 15 of the 20 sales were co-ops, so the drop is a mix shift and not a price crash.

PropertyShark reports a Ditmas Park median sale price of $578,244 for Q3 2026, down 42.2% year over year, from 20 sales, up 3 from a year earlier. The headline is a mix effect: PropertyShark’s property-type table, which sums to the same 20 sales, shows 15 co-ops at a $565,000 median, 4 condos at $655,000 and a single house sale at $3.7 million. A divorcing couple should price a Ditmas Park home against its own type, not against the blended median.
PropertyShark’s undated snapshot counts 1,915 residential buildings and units in Ditmas Park: 927 co-ops, 498 single-family houses, 378 two-to-four family buildings and 106 condos.
Generally no once a divorce case is filed. New York’s automatic orders in Domestic Relations Law 236(B)(2)(b)(1) bar either spouse from selling, transferring, encumbering, concealing or assigning property, including real estate, without the other spouse’s written consent or a court order, with exceptions for ordinary household and legal expenses. Joseph Ranola is not an attorney, so a sale should start with your lawyer confirming the consent or order is in place.
No. Domestic Relations Law 236(B)(5) directs courts to distribute marital property equitably, which means fairly and not automatically equally. Marital property is property either spouse acquired during the marriage regardless of whose name is on the title, while pre-marriage assets, inheritances and gifts from non-spouses are generally separate property. The same section lets a court order use and occupancy of the marital home, so the timing of a sale can be part of the order. Joseph Ranola is not an attorney, so the split itself belongs to your counsel.
Most co-op proprietary leases and board approval procedures control a transfer, so a Ditmas Park co-op sale in a divorce follows the board’s process in addition to any court order. Because 927 of the neighborhood’s homes are co-ops, Joseph Ranola asks for the proprietary lease, house rules and board package before listing, so the timeline is set realistically from day one.
