Brooklyn luxury contracts last week led by $4.3M Cobble Hill condo

The number of luxury contracts signed in Brooklyn last week paled in comparison to August’s numbers, with just 14 contracts signed for homes asking $2 million or more, according to Compass’s weekly report.

The total of their asking prices was $41 million, up from the previous week’s $37 million across the same number of contracts.

Though the report showed a slowdown after a frenzied August, when more than two dozen luxury contracts per week were signed, the post-Labor Day rate was higher than it was last year, which saw $33 million over 10 deals.
