84-Front-Street-0708.jpgWhile not one of our favorite looking buildings in Dumbo, 84 Front Street may be a good value play, judging from this new listing on the ninth floor. The two-year-old condo building is centrally located and has reasonable common charges; in this case, the 1,220-square-foot two-bedroom charges come to $923. Given the views and what a similarly-sized pad would cost down the block, we won’t be surprised if the seller gets her asking price of $1,055,000. Given that she bought it from the sponsor in October 2006 for $910,000, it’s not a crazy mark-up. What think ye? The first showing is at an open house on Wednesday from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

  1. ProJoe /2:47 > Foreclosure is somebody’s payday!

    Bed-Stuy is the up & coming new nabe! Have you notice for the past two yrs…Condos/Lofts going up!???

    Anyway…I’m already in. The prices are still for the taking!!!

  2. wine lover, while I think your evidence is somewhat anecdotal and don’t believe all “nice apts sell” during an economic downturn, I appreciate the rational response. Without the facts, I don’t believe there has been a significant rise in prices across the entire condo market in all of “Prime Brooklyn”.

    And PropJoe, it’s Fort Greene, with an “e” on the end. If you’re going try to correct the grammar of other posters, at least learn how to spell the name of your favorite ‘hood, son.

  3. Fort Green & boerum Hill have gone up a ton since Oct 2006.

    a ton is certainly quantifiable in the real estate context. That would certainle have a huge “effect” on the market.

  4. You bring the wine 3:18pm & I’ll bring the brie. Dave, I believe the word you want to use is “effect”, not affect. Prices be risin’, son. Just the facts… Fort Green & boerum Hill have gone up a ton since Oct 2006.

  5. biff – in my condo bldg where everyone moved in fall of ’06 all resales have been 15-20% plus.

    this is williamsburg too btw.

    nice apts sell especially when buyers get new without having to pay the transfer taxes (which buyers of new construction have to pay).

    lots of pre-built prices are under market value, and the values typically rise once the bldg has C of O and the owners are living there.

    yes, the economy is down now, but the condo is probably priced right for the area.

    personally, i think dumbo is loud, dirty and dangerous with just OK amenities, so not for me.
