Just Sold! [NY Post]
Over 20+ years I’ve lived in Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope, Carroll Gardens + Boerum Hill. Liked Carroll Gardens + Boerum Hill the most. I don’t think there is much by way of value in any of those neighborhoods anymore, but you’re going to get more for your $$ in Boerum Hill than the other neighborhods.
350 sq ft one bedroom??? how is that even possible? Has to be the smallest ever.
I really don’t get the boehrem hill thing with those prices. why do people spend that kind of coin on that area when they could get a nice house or more house elsewhere?
I don’t know if I’d call the $2.5m houses in Cobble Hill/Carroll Gardens appreciation. The ones in Cobble Hill are higher in price to PS/BH because they’re close to Brooklyn Heights, and the Heights is always most expensive. As for $2.5 million for Carroll Gardens, I think that’s called the dead-cat bounce. We’ll see, though…
How many 4 story $3.5 million houses in Carroll Gardens, btw?
But all the 4 story houses in Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens have been going for $2.5M and up (to $3.5M). That’s appreciation. No tanking in Brooklyn.
what about location?
i think many would prefer garfield over pacific street.
maybe not. i would.
Why would there have been appreciation? Housing has tanked in the rest of the country over the last year, with the first drops in the national average (as measured by the Case-Shiller index) since the Depression.
What’s interesting is that this sold for less than that house from yesterday on Garfield at Fifth Ave (which started at 2.5m, now asking around 1.9) that is a three-story. If you can get a much nicer 4 story in a similar neighborhood for less money, that Garfield house will need more price cuts to move.
Interesting on the pacific st property. There were a bunch of properties on the dean st block that went for 1.8 last year. So no real appreciation.
wow…i remember seeing the listing for the ft. greene place thinking how cute it looked. the bedroom looked small, but the place seemed to have so much charm and a great location. and i like small spaces.
if i hadn’t just bought my studio recently, i would have been all over that place.
