The headline says it all. According to a broker familiar with the situation, 30 South Portland Avenue, a four-story brownstone on Fort Greene’s most desired block, is in contract for “significantly over” the asking price of $2,600,000. Another data point suggesting that there’s still strong demand for quality properties in areas like Fort Greene and Park Slope where there’s little perceived risk of the neighborhood going downhill? Maybe. Of course, the fact that 224 Washington Avenue was just just reduced by another $110,000 to $1,685,000 flies in the face of that theory. That one’s looking cheap now, don’t you think?
