PropertyShark shows a Bath Beach median sale price of $994,000 for Q3 2026, up 0.5% year over year, on 22 sales at $786 per square foot. Q1 2026 was $1,039,500 on 28 sales and Q2 was $960,000 on 23. Redfin shows $1,046,995 for August 2026, up 5.8%, on 31 homes sold, with a median of 52 days on market. The two sources sit about $53,000 apart on different windows, so a veteran should price an offer from the nearest sales on the block.
For a veteran with full entitlement, no VA loan limit applies. VA Circular 26-19-23 states that Freddie Mac conforming loan limits are no longer a factor for veterans with full entitlement on loans closed on or after January 1, 2020. A veteran with partial or reduced entitlement still works within the county limit, so the lender confirms the entitlement first. The VA does not cap the price, but the lender and the appraisal still have to support it.
PropertyShark counts 4,352 residential properties in Bath Beach: 2,860 two-to-four family homes, 684 condos, 457 single-family homes, 350 co-ops and 1 townhouse. Two-to-four family homes are about 66% of the stock, so many Bath Beach purchases involve a rental unit. A veteran who plans to live in one unit and rent the others should ask the lender how the VA treats rental income on a multi-unit property before making an offer.
PropertyShark counts 0 of Bath Beach’s 3,398 residential buildings in a flood zone and 56 in a hurricane evacuation zone, all of them two-to-four family buildings. That is about 1.6% of buildings by simple division. The count is lower than in most Brooklyn waterfront neighborhoods, which matters when a veteran prices insurance and resale.
