Brooklyn’s luxury residential market recorded a slow start to September, with 15 contracts signed for homes asking at least $2 million during the week of September 1 to September 7. According to Compass’ weekly reports, these included 10 condos and five houses, with a combined asking volume of $41 million.
This marks the second consecutive week that contract activity has lagged behind last year’s figures. In the comparable period following Labor Day in 2024, there were 17 contracts signed totaling $58 million.
The highest-priced contract was for a townhouse at 130 Fort Greene Place, listed at $5 million. The property is a renovated 19th-century home that previously sold for $2.6 million in 2014. It spans nearly 3,800 square feet and features seven bedrooms and four full bathrooms. The parlor level includes herringbone wood floors, high ceilings with plaster detailing and moldings, oversized windows, and a wood-burning fireplace with an original marble mantel. A private terrace off the kitchen leads to the backyard.
The primary suite on the second floor offers a walk-in closet and an ensuite marble bathroom with dual vanities and a walk-in rain shower. Another bedroom on this floor has a decorative fireplace and private terrace. The top floor consists of three bedrooms, a laundry room, and an additional flexible room. On the garden level is a renovated two-bedroom apartment with its own entrance.
Compass agents Suzanne Koxvold, Mia Lieberman, and Rachel Greenstein represented the listing.
The second most expensive contract was for a unit at 205 14th Street in Park Slope, listed at $3 million. This triplex condo is described as “living like a standalone townhouse” according to its StreetEasy listing. At over 3,900 square feet, it includes three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The parlor level features high ceilings and double-height bay windows; two primary suites are among its bedrooms—one opening onto a private terrace.
Additional amenities include a wet bar and library nook on the garden level as well as built-in wine storage and an integrated media wall on the lower level.
The unit is part of a boutique building developed by Robert Saffayeh, Gabriel Saffayeh, Elie Fouerti, and Vyacheslav Faybyshev after they acquired both this site and another parcel for $11.5 million; they also developed The Ainsley—a nearby 28-unit condo project—on the adjacent parcel.
For all homes entering contract last week in Brooklyn’s luxury segment, the average price per square foot was reported at $1,436 while median asking prices stood at $2.5 million.
