We finally got a chance to read the year-end Corcoran report. Not surprisingly, the runaway winners for 2005 were Fort Greene and Clinton Hill, which the brokerage lumps into one category (with good reason):

As the popularity of the districts has grown over the past few years, Fort Greene and Clinton Hill have ridden a wave of price increases in all categories. In 2005, three-bedroom apartments overall stole the show, with average sale prices catapulted upward by +38%. Studio and one-bedroom apartments gained +25% and +32% respectively. The multi-family townhouse arena proved equally exhilarating, with increases of +28%.

We don’t put too much stock in these numbers given the relatively small sample size, but they probably have some use in identifying larger trends. More outtakes to come throughout the week.
