PropertyShark reports a Fort Greene median sale price of $1,440,000 for Q3 2026, up 23.9% year over year, on 18 sales. The blended median hides three very different markets: condos at $1.4M, up 57.1%, on 10 sales; co-ops at $600,000, down 7.7%, on 5 sales; and houses at $2.8M, down 23.4%, on 3 sales. A single headline median should not be used as evidence in a grievance.
The NYC Tax Commission must receive a Tax Class 1 application by March 15 and a Tax Class 2, 3 or 4 application by March 1, and its website states that deadlines cannot be extended. Class 1 uses form TC108, Class 2 or 4 uses TC101, and a condo unit uses TC109. The Department of Finance publishes the tentative assessment roll in January, which leaves roughly six weeks to file before the March 1 deadline.
PropertyShark counts 132 single-family, 1,114 two-to-four family, 74 condo, 38 co-op, 2 townhouse and 5 other residential buildings in Fort Greene, for 1,365 in total. One-to-three family homes are generally Tax Class 1, while co-ops and condos are generally Tax Class 2. Because Class 2 properties are valued using an income method that treats them like rental buildings, a recent condo sale price does not directly set that assessment, which changes what evidence helps.
PropertyShark counts 15 of 1,365 Fort Greene residential buildings in a flood zone and 98 in a hurricane evacuation zone. Thirteen of the flood-zone buildings are two-to-four family. Flood status affects insurance cost and resale, and it belongs in any conversation about what a Fort Greene property is worth.
