Mr B - FYI - GMAP points to Monroe St. in Brooklyn, MI...

i can't see how it will trade at a higher price than the 5th Street "biggest sale" from earlier today...

it will be interesting to see what the Meier trade will look like 5 years from now...seems relatively reasonable but only time will tell...

nomi...jealousy...every person that is priced out of this hood and rationalizes living in bed stuy - hoping everyday it becomes park slope...keep dreaming...

this place reminds me of the new Yankee Stadium - beautiful but real bad timing...hopefully it can survive until the next bull market...4K for a brand new 1200 SF Apt. seems pretty sweet though...

all this will do is increase real estate values in Billyburg - all PR is good PR - keep it coming, especially from the "scared of their own shadow" right's of this country - believe me, the tourists will come to Brooklyn rather than the sterile Times Square...

MM - sellers have certainly been off on what they think their properties are worth - these asks are adjusting downward, for sure, but you can't have it both ways - asks are irrelevant, sales are not...

Posted by: 7182713 at June 16, 2009 1:14 PM in response to Last Week's Biggest Sales

MM, we all understand the 3rd Street house is ONE sale - but it is a SALE - Benson is correct - ask has no meaning - what is entirely relevant is the comp vs 2006 - this is right in your wheelhouse and we have, clearly, a high end buyer, buying...I realize you are bid below, but, clearly, you will not be living on a park block in Park Slope. I don't care what you say, a cash sale like this has to make you nervous...this is not 50% off the highs...

Mr. B - it's is getting really annoying when you comment on EVERY renovation done in a Brooklyn - 95% negative. Seriously, do you now consider yourself the preeminent authority on this subject because you live in one? I hope I don't sound like too much of a dick, but seriously, let the other readers opine while you continue to just present the product in an unbiased manner.

start the clock at 2000 - it'll take 25 yrs - 2025 - to see if clinton hill will replicate park slope, or even fort greene, and tons of inherent disadvantages - poor infrastructure relative to other neighborhoods. gentrification is a much longer process than people realize and real estate values got way too high in places that have a long way to go - too far too fast like alot of markets...hold on tight if you bought into the corco hype machine.

hello living is another example of condos that will sell - and sell well - when priced appropriately...the idea of this "condo" glut is ridiculous.

hey, miss muffett...2002 - $595,000 - is this fair value?

miss muff...at what previous price year do you feel brooklyn real estate would be fairly valued today? 2005? 1995?

Posted by: 7182713 at May 19, 2009 4:29 PM in response to Last Week's Biggest Sales

nothing polarizes people like plg...definitely some value there relative to park slope, et al...but even better value to be had in bed stuy for the same amenities...

i own a car...

car owners have had a free ride long enough...space is too valuable in nyc for anything to be "free."

i agree with congestion pricing and residential parking permits...all of this should "cost" car owners...

how can it be OK to pay the exact same amount of money for driving a car in the boonies of ny state vs. congested nyc? forget the insurance argument...that goes to private companies.

condos - the bane of many other posters on this site - sold out in billyburg...two comments before mine - each day makes me more sure that this site is now full of "wanna be but will never be" buyers - the idea that prices will fall hy 50% is just wishful thinking. what gives??

Posted by: 7182713 at May 12, 2009 7:55 PM in response to 2/3 Sold at The Jacksonia

many worthy comments above; however, the theme is always the same. some think the market will go to zero, some think the market has alot to fall, some think the market has a little to fall. what i find interesting is how many people are "waiting" for the dump. this "dump" can't happen with all the bids below...these places look great and may be overpriced, but make no mistake, they will be occupied at some point...and it won't be for $1000/month...
