plus, greenpoint figures are skewed by all the new inventory hitting the market. of course a new construction condo will cost more than a musty old school coop in a vinylsider. they need to track repeat sales of some of those new units to gauge actual price “increases”.
I agree. I look at Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill + Boerum Hill as pretty correlated markets. According to this article 2005 prices were Boerum Hill + 23%, Cobble Hill +40% and Carroll Gardens -1%. For 2006, Boerum Hill -1%, Cobble Hill -14% and Carroll Gardens +25%, Those numbers just don’t seem credible.
Re: RE prices–> All of these articles from media, press releases from REBNY and realtor, etc. based on sales stats are often very misleading, misquoted, misinterpretted, misconstrued, misunderstood and then repeated as some sort of fact.
Anyone see the obvious fallacy in this statement from the article–
“In order of decreasing value, the most expensive neighborhoods are DUMBO, Carroll Gardens, Greenpoint, Cobble Hill, and Vinegar Hill.”
