These are the priciest residential sales in Brooklyn so far this year, per public records. The Heights dominated the first six months of the year, but the record-breaking One Main condo sale and the Connelly mansion closing will mean the Slope and Dumbo are near the top of the charts by the time we bid 2008 goodbye.

  1. An interesting sidenote to the three Heights sales is that they represent 75% of the houses sold in the neighborhood during the period. The number of houses sold in 2007 was down from the prior five-year average and it looks like the downward trend is going to be even more significant in 2008.
