The most expensive home to go into contract was 15 Willow Street in Brooklyn Heights, asking $9 million. The 25-foot-wide townhouse has six bedrooms and four bathrooms across 6,200 square feet.

The second most expensive home to enter contract last week was Unit 38B at 1 Clinton Street in Brooklyn Heights, asking just under $9 million.
The condo has five bedrooms and five full bathrooms across 4,200 square feet. Amenities at the building include a fitness center with sauna and yoga rooms and a sky lounge and terrace.
The 134-unit, 38-story Hudson Companies development was Brooklyn’s tallest condo project until it was dethroned by Brooklyn Tower — the city’s tallest building outside of Manhattan — earlier this year.
Of the 21 signed contracts, 16 were for townhouses and five for condos. The combined asking prices were $82.6 million, with a median of $3.3 million and average price per square foot of $1,336. Homes spent an average of 128 days on the market and received a 4 percent discount.
