Brooklyn has left the stone age behind, or at least joined the ranks of Manhattan, Queens and Long Island in finally having a Miller Samuel residential market report to call its own. The inaugural report from Jonathan Miller & co. for Elliman is based on public records and breaks down the borough into four regions, which shows how diverse Brooklyn’s market it is and more or less only finds one commonality among all the neighborhoods in the second quarter: Sluggish sales volume. The number of sales was down 43.6 percent from the second quarter in ’07. “The market is weaker than it was a few years ago simply because of the lower level of activity, but depending on the submarket we’re looking at, we’re certainly seeing a lot of sales,” says Miller Samuel CEO Jonathan Miller, who attributes the big drop in sales mostly to the tighter credit market. “For example, sales in brownstone Brooklyn are still half of what they were last year. Part of that is dearth of credit, but there’s also not much inventory.” About that brownstone Brooklyn: The report found the median sales price was up 7.5 percent in brownstone neighborhoods, to $673,101, over the same time last year, even though the number of sales was down 34 percent.
