What does the Brooklyn luxury market have in common with the New York Yankees? They’re both stuck in an August slump.
The once fearsome Yankees have yet to win a series this month, while Brooklyn’s luxury contracts last week saw dips in prices and volume, according to Compass’ weekly report of homes in the borough asking $2 million or more.
The borough saw 16 homes go into contract last week, the second lowest total recorded this year. The units had an average price per square foot of $1,087, the year’s lowest this year, and their combined asking price of $42.4 million was the lowest since the week of January 3-10.
It was also the sixth consecutive week luxury homes were discounted, with the average home last week going 2 percent under the asking price last week. The homes, which included 12 townhouses and four condos, on average spent 151 days on the market.
