Gleaming, freshly refinished original hardwood floors, high ceilings, and a newly renovated kitchen and bath make for the perfect combination of old and new. The primary bedroom is larger than many studio apartments, with a wall of closets and a fully built-out storage system; new fans and fixtures throughout the home keep light and air moving. The home office, with its charming and effective Shoju screens, easily opens to the living area or closes to convert to a music room, library, second bed or guest room — letting life grow larger without sacrificing space to entertain, relax, and enjoy. A wide foyer and copious closets and built-ins, both original and additional, provide ample storage. And every room is lit with the same flooding southern sunshine, facing the same dreamy treetop views over the distinctive roofs of Ditmas Park. Truly: one of Brooklyn's sweetest homes. 1825 Foster is an elevator and laundry building that has undergone a recent round of capital and environmental improvements, and has an "A" energy rating and a short-running assessment ($159.55/mo through December 2026) to pay off the costs of a new heat-reflective roof and solar energy array. Like the apartment itself: the perfect blend of old and new, located three short blocks from the B/Q at Newkirk Plaza. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Co-op - **Beds**: 1 - **Baths**: 1 - **Rooms**: 4 - **Stories**: 6 - **Year Built**: 1931 - **Common Charges**: $928.7 / Monthly - **Listed On**: Sep 14, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 1 Days ### Residence Features - Wall Unit(s) - Common On Floor - Common Area - Building Courtyard - Building Garden - Built-in Features - High Ceilings - Dishwasher - Stainless Steel Appliance(s) - Hardwood ## Sales Evidence ### Recent closed sales 10 apartments at Foster Arms Apts have recorded sales since September 2021, the most recent for $485,000 in July 2026.

Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable co-op one-bedroom sales in Ditmas Park is $467,500, based on 28 sales between September 2024 and July 2026. This home is asking $650,000, $182,500 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $418,125 and $497,645. - **Median closed price**: $467,500 - **Middle half**: $418,125 – $497,645 - **Based on**: 28 co-op one-bedroom sales in Ditmas Park - **Period**: September 2024 – July 2026 - **Median $/ft²**: $575/ft² Across the 26 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.6% of what it originally asked. 62% of them closed below the original ask. This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Ditmas Park instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 97.6% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 62% of 26 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 107 days (about 15 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 97 days (about 14 weeks) Across the 26 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.6% of what it originally asked. 62% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 107 days (about 15 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 26 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 97 days (about 14 weeks), based on the 26 with both dates recorded. A co-op board package and its interview account for much of that. These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. Based on 28 co-op one-bedroom sales in Ditmas Park, September 2024 – July 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. ### Price trend Median sold price for co-op one-bedroom sales in Ditmas Park, 2017 to 2026. The series is held to one bedroom count and one ownership type for the same reason: an unfiltered median tracks which apartments sold, not what they were worth. | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2017 | $417,500 | 10 | | 2018 | $473,000 | 16 | | 2021 | $445,000 | 18 | | 2022 | $500,000 | 19 | | 2023 | $522,500 | 18 | | 2024 | $496,860 | 15 | | 2025 | $435,000 | 17 | | 2026 | $440,000 | 10 | This building does not have enough sales with a recorded floor area to chart its own price per square foot, which is usual for a co-op. The series above follows comparable homes across Ditmas Park instead. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.
