For prospective homebuyers in Brooklyn, an asking price is just a starting point.
In the second quarter, half of the homes that sold in New York’s most populous borough did so at or above their listed price as the supply of properties failed to keep up with demand, according to a report Thursday by real estate data website StreetEasy.com. The highest mark-ups were in the Prospect Heights and Park Slope neighborhoods, where half of buyers paid at least 4 percent more than what owners were seeking.
