The mid-summer slide in Brooklyn’s luxury market continues.
Fifteen contracts for homes asking $2 million or more were signed in Brooklyn last week, down from the 19 contracts the previous week, according to Compass’ weekly report.
The asking prices of those contracts amounted to $49.5 million, a decrease from the previous week’s $60 million but up slightly on a per-home basis to $3.3 million. Contracts were signed for eight townhouses, six condominiums and one co-op.
The median asking price for contracts signed last week was $2.8 million, with an average price per square foot of $1,317. High-end sales typically slow down in mid-summer.
