PropertyShark reports an East New York median sale price of $747,000 for Q3 2026, down 7.1% from a year earlier, on 62 sales. Houses had a $790,000 median on 55 sales, down 3.4%, at $456 per square foot, and condos had a $390,000 median on 7 sales, up 4.1%. Sixty-two sales is a real sample, which is why East New York comparables carry weight in a market value review.
Yes. A Class 1 owner can file a Request for Review of Property Value with the NYC Department of Finance and can also file an application with the NYC Tax Commission. The Finance form states that a Request for Review does not replace a Tax Commission appeal, and that a Tax Commission application preserves the owner’s right to judicial review. For the 2026 cycle, Finance released the tentative roll on January 15, 2026, and the Class 1 deadline was March 16, 2026, because March 15 fell on a weekend.
The next tentative roll is expected in mid-January 2027, with deadlines typically around March 1 for Class 2 and Class 4 and March 15 for Class 1. The City has not yet published the 2027 dates, so an owner should confirm them on nyc.gov in January. Joseph Ranola prepares comparables in the weeks before the deadline so a filing is not rushed.
Class 1 assessed values in New York City can rise by no more than 6% a year and 20% over five years, according to NYC Finance. If market value climbed faster than that in earlier years, the assessed value keeps catching up even when sale prices dip. A falling median does not automatically mean a lower bill, and comparable sales show whether the market value the City uses is too high.
PropertyShark counts 17,600 residential units in East New York, and 11,980 of them are in two-to-four family buildings, about 68% based on those counts.
