While the New York Knicks were dropping dimes during their NBA championship run, wealthy buyers in Brooklyn were dropping dollars on expensive homes.
The borough saw 30 contracts — 12 condos, one co-op, 17 single-family homes — signed last week for $126 million for homes asking at least $2 million, according to Compass’ weekly contracts report. The previous week saw 25 contracts signed for $81 million.
The total brings the weekly performance near the market’s six-year-high, recorded when $156 million in deals were signed between April 27 and May 3.
Homes entering contract last week had a median asking price of $3.6 million, spent an average of 77 days on the market and had an average price per square foot of $1,476.
The priciest deal last week was for a townhouse at 45 Douglass Street in Cobble Hill asking $11.5 million.
Developed by Hajdu Properties and designed by KGBL NYC, the 25-foot-wide home has five beds and four full bathrooms.
The parlor floor has a living room, kitchen and dining room with a balcony overlooking the backyard. The second-floor primary suite has a private terrace and separate dressing room, along with a bathroom with twin showers and a soaking tub.
The top floor has front and rear terraces and a wet bar, dishwasher and powder room. The garden floor has a built-in bookshelves, a wet bar and a guest bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet.
Eric Hajdu’s Hajdu Properties bought the property for $2.5 million in 2022, according to public records.
Douglas Elliman’s Aran Scott and Anthony Robles had the listing.
The second most expensive contract signed last week was for an off-market townhouse at 96 Amity Street in Brooklyn Heights asking $9.8 million.
The home has four bedrooms and four bathrooms. The home is part of a set of townhouses known as the Polhemus Townhouses that were developed by Fortis Property Group in 2017.
It last sold for $8.6 million in 2019, according to public records.
Serhant’s Ravi Kantha and Cameron LeCates had the listing.
