The weather was scorching hot last week, but Brooklyn’s luxury market cooled off as New Yorkers fled the city for the Fourth of July.
The borough saw just 14 contracts signed for homes asking $2 million or more between July 3 and July 9, according to Compass’ weekly report. The total was down from the 23 inked in the previous period, though the low numbers likely coincide with the long holiday weekend.
The most expensive home to find a buyer was Unit 28A at 1 Clinton Street in Brooklyn Heights, with an asking price of $4.5 million. The 2,300-square-foot condo, built in 2020, has four bedrooms and three bathrooms.
It also features triple exposures, oversized windows, open kitchen and primary bedroom with windowed bathroom. Amenities in the 134-residence building include a terrace, sky lounge, fitness center with sauna and yoga and full-time staff.
Corcoran’s James Cornell had the listing.
Last month, a penthouse at the 38-story condo tower nabbed the priciest contract signed in the borough with an asking price of $9 million. The Hudson Companies’s building rises on the site of the former Brooklyn Heights Library.
The second most expensive home to enter contract last week was 645 Carroll Street in Park Slope, with an asking price of $3 million. The 3,600-square-foot brownstone has four bedrooms and three bathrooms.
It also has a front garden, outdoor seating area, backyard with a deck, partially finished basement and open kitchen.
Our Island’s Christopher Reno had the listing.
The contract breakdown for last week was four condos, two co-ops and eight townhouses.
The average asking price was $2.6 million and the average price per square foot was $1,100. The homes spent an average of 61 days on the market and had an average discount of two percent from the original listing price.
