The most expensive contracts inked last week were once again for townhouses. The priciest home was in Williamsburg, at 176 North 6th Street. The three-story house spans almost 5,000 square feet with five bedrooms with a landscaped backyard and private roof deck with an outdoor kitchen. It was last asking $5.5 million.

The second priciest deal was for a 20-foot wide townhouse that dates back to the 1860s at 16 South Portland Avenue in Fort Greene. The 3,760-square-foot home also has five bedrooms and its final asking price was $4.1 million.

Of the 25 deals last week, 17 were townhouses, seven were condo units and one was a co-op. The average price per square foot for the condos was $1,631 versus $928 for the townhouses.
