Activity returned to Brooklyn’s luxury market last week — at a discounted price.
After hitting a slow couple of weeks around Labor Day weekend, 18 homes went into contract last week, according to Compass’ report of homes asking $2 million or more. The total is more than twice as many as the seven contracts reported the previous week and the 11 in the wee days of August.
The combined asking price of the homes — 12 condos and six townhouses — was $55.7 million and the average price per square foot was $1,240.
However, the average home received a 5 percent discount — the highest this year. The week before last was the only period of the last 10 during which homes did not receive a discount.
