People searching for Brooklyn homes on the Real Estate Board of New York’s ResidentialNYC web portal are most likely to look for properties in Park Slope, Bay Ridge or Bedford-Stuyvesant, according to an article in this morning’s Eagle. The Slope is Brooklyn’s most searched-for neighborhood, followed by Bay RIdge and Bed-Stuy. According to data collected on ResidentialNYC, the Brooklyn sales market isn’t exactly flagging. Average prices for co-ops and condos increased 11 percent (to $501,000) from January ’07 to January ’08. Average prices for all home types increased a far more modest 2 percent, year-over-year, to $587,000. “Despite a national real estate slowdown, the Brooklyn market continues to show some signs of growth with apartment prices increasing 11 percent throughout the borough, said REBNY Prez Steven Spinola.

11:57: Unless you can come up with a set of facts to contradict this story – regardless of its resemblence to an ad – you haven’t disproved it with your comment. They based their commments on their information. You can disagree but, without a contradictory set of facts, your comments are meaningless.
If you have the facts, share them.
Otherwise, stop complaining because the facts don’t fit your perseption.
To the first commenter @ 9:48 who posted the 9 reasons for “why we will witness a serious economic collapse” Have you seen the Most Recent Sales posted later today?? $6.3 million in Brooklyn Heights? I guess just because you are the designated spokesperson for the economy then everyone else should fall in line with that view, tighten their belts and people are not allowed to spend money on what they like and what they want when they are able to.
My comment at 9:59 is based on experience from a lot of buyers whom I know
This is here because it’s advertising to try and drum up visitors to REBNY, that’s all. REBNY might as well have posted a fake ad on Forum.
That photo doesn’t represent Bed Stuy and that other photo sure as heck does not represent Bay Ridge. There are like, maybe a dozen houses left of that size and era in good ole tear-em-down Bay Ridge. If you fall in love with this photo good luck ever finding a house to buy like that there. The vast majority of Bay Ridge houses are 2 or 3 story attached houses with tacky alterations to the exterior.
“exhaustive list of realities”
– now that is funny! More like socialist talking points.
define facts, 11:03. i gave an exhaustive list of realities and all you have is inflated medians and broker-originated stats.
yeah the Bedford Stuyvesant photo looks cold… it is the only photo taken in the winter. The PS and BR photos are lush and green…
Couldn’t you have found a better looking photo to represent Bed-Stuy? A street with a bunch of parked cars? Come on!
So if the facts don’t fit your gloomy predictions you don’t trust it?
Bitter renters, please make sure you pay the rent by the end of the day today.
