Luxury Park Slope Home Sales Immune To Coronavirus Fears

PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — Stocks cratered, confidence in the economy fell and supplies of hand sanitizer flew off the shelves as coronavirus fears spread last week. But one thing seemed immune to the contagion: Park Slope's high-dollar real estate market.

Nine Park Slope homes entered $2 million-plus contracts last week, according to luxury homes sales report by Compass.

All told, those contracts added up to $28.3 million. They were led by an 11th Street brownstone just steps away from Prospect Park West, for which a buyer inked a $4.95 million contract, the study found.

That 635 11th St. home was the second-most expensive prospective sale in Brooklyn, behind a $4.75 million condo in DUMBO, the study found.

Other Park Slope contracts last week included a $4.3 million home that was only on the market for 17 days, according to the listing.

Elsewhere in Park Slope last week, its famous self-same co-op saw another rush — people stocking up on supplies as COVID-19 spread across the city.
