The number of luxury contracts signed in Brooklyn last week was the highest it’s been since Compass started releasing its weekly report in 2018.
Forty contracts worth $2 million and more were inked, up from the previous week’s 21, according to Compass’ weekly report. The total sales volume swelled to nearly $133 million, double the $66.7 million in deals signed the week before.
It’s also the biggest upswing the Brooklyn luxury market has seen since October, when 27 properties went into contract for a total sales volume of $89 million. Luxury contracts throughout March alone have consistently topped out in the tens of millions, peaking at $81.7 million in the second week.
Townhouses led the way with 21 contracts signed, followed by 15 condos and four co-ops. Townhouses were also the most expensive properties sold last week, dominating the top eight slots on the list.
