Home sellers in two Brooklyn neighborhoods are offering slight discounts for purchasers, according to the latest report from StreetEasy.

Thanks to a slide in mortgage rates and increased supply, there's been a 10% rise in homes entering contract across the city. In Brooklyn, 1,006 homes were newly listed, a 17.5% jump as sellers looked to leverage strong buyer interest in the borough.

Amid the rise in supply, home buyers in Bedford-Stuyvesant and Bay Ridge are starting to see some room to negotiate, according to the report.

Buyers in Bed-Stuy were able to negotiate a 3.6% discount off the asking price of a home, while Bay Ridge buyers saw a 2.7% discount.
