The Brooklyn luxury market picked up again last week, with 20 contracts signed for a total of about $52.9 million.

The properties were split between 12 townhouses and eight condos, and they went for an average price of roughly $2.6 million, according to the latest report from Stribling & Associates. The firm defines the borough’s luxury market as all homes priced at $2 million or higher.

Both figures were up from the week before, when the market saw 12 contracts signed for about $43 million overall. This marked the second week in a row that both the number of sales and dollar volume increased.
