The most expensive home to go into contract was a $6.4 million townhouse in Fortis Property Group’s Polhemus Townhouses complex in Cobble Hill. It marks the first resale within the complex. According to property records, the sellers paid $6.1 million for the unit in 2019. The 3,720-square-foot home at 92 Amity Street comes with an elevator, two outdoor gardens and a rooftop terrace.
The second priciest contract was for a townhouse in Park Slope. The six-bedroom home at 873 President Street spans nearly 4,900 square feet and has a large backyard patio and a wood-burning fireplace. It was only on the market for 37 days before a buyer snapped up the property, which was last asking $6 million. The average time on market for the 19 luxury homes that went into contract last week was 197 days.
Townhouses once again dominated the list, with 10 of the contracts signed last week. Seven of the deals were for condos and just two were for co-op units.
