Wondering how high-end real estate market in Park Slope is holding up? Just fine, according to a trusty tipster/neighborhood booster who compiled a list of high-profile properties in the hood that recently went into contract:
- A co-op unit at 9 Prospect Park West went into contract this month after being on the market for 3 months. Ask: $2.2 million.
- 596 3rd Street, in contract after 15 days on market. Ask: $1.86 million.
- A unit in the new condo building 292 7th Street went into contract after 5 months on market. Ask: $2.1 million.
- 27 7th Avenue (pictured above left), a House of the Day in May 2011 that was asking $1.65 million is in contract.
- 129 Lincoln Place (pictured above right), an Open House Pick in September 2011 that went into contract on January 18th. Ask: $3.3 million.
Our reader’s assessment: “A very active last couple weeks for large sales entering contract in what is typically a very slow month.” Hard not to get excited.
