The average OH attendance in Brooklyn dropped this weekend to 6.19 per open house, from 6.88 per open house the weekend prior, a 10% decrease. This is still 211% more traffic than in Manhattan. The tale of two cities continues… What is interesting here is Brooklyn has so much more foot traffic than Manhattan, but Brooklyn contract volume is down – seemingly BECAUSE Brooklyn inventory is down, not due to lack of interest.

Noteworthy new contracts signed in Brooklyn last week were the townhouse at 312 Garfield Place in Park Slope, asking $8.895M, 61 Summit Street in the Columbia Street Waterfront District, asking $3.995M, and the townhouse at 273 Madison Street in Bed-Stuy, asking $3.385M.

The open house attendance throughout NYC this past weekend declined 13.6% to 2.91 parties per open house, which is down from 3.37 parties per open house on the weekend of March 5.
