The total of asking prices for luxury contracts in Brooklyn climbed for the fifth week in a row.

Forty homes asking more than $2 million went into contract last week, according to Compass’ weekly report. The total of those contracts’ asking prices was $124.8 million, up from the previous week’s $108 million.

That’s the second highest total for asking prices since the week of March 22, when $133 million worth of contracts were signed. The market cooled to $64 million the following week, but the total for signed contracts has been steadily rising since then.

The median asking price for the contracts last week was $2.8 million, up from the previous week’s $2.7 million. The average price per square foot was $1,267.

Of the contracts signed last week, 21 were condos, 17 were townhouses and two were co-ops.
