    A sharp drop in national mortgage rates coupled with a barrage of weak economic news in the fall drove down the overall average prices of property sales in both Brooklyn and Queens in the fourth quarter of 2011, according to reports from Prudential Douglas Elliman and Brown Harris Stevens, released today.

    In Brooklyn, home prices overall declined largely due to a jump in the volume of sales of lower-priced co-ops. The average sales price dropped by 7.5 percent to $529,640 in the last quarter of 2011 from $572,892 in 2010, while the number of total sales increased by 6.1 percent to 1,558 from 1,468, according to Eliman’s report. Meanwhile listing inventory decreased 4.8 percent to 5,908 units from 6,203 the year-prior quarter. [more]
