Forte Reboot Priced to Sell
After going off the market at the end of the summer (presumably while the bank figured its plan of action), the Forte hit the market again at the end of last week under the auspices of Corcoran. The big news is that the units look priced to sell! Back in the old days, a 1,000-square-foot…
After going off the market at the end of the summer (presumably while the bank figured its plan of action), the Forte hit the market again at the end of last week under the auspices of Corcoran. The big news is that the units look priced to sell! Back in the old days, a 1,000-square-foot two-bedroom woulda cost you somewhere in the mid- to high- $700,000s. Now, for that price, you can pick a 1,435-square-foot three-bedroom. Crazy. From the looks of the first wave of listings, most apartments are priced at around $500 a foot. These could go fast at these prices. GMAP
antidope, no need to be a dick. I actually pass out on the train going into work all the time. If I wake up and see an older person or preggo lady, I ALWAYS get up. On the way home, I mostly stand till about 7th Ave. No biggie.
Most parts of Clinton Hill are closer to the G, especialy in the more eastern area. The farther east you go the more this becomes the case. Anything north of Lafayette is going to be closer to the G. Your average condo buyer is not going to be interested in a whole house and all the work it entails (even if it is in “move-in” condition now, there will be a lot more required down the line), especially if it’s not a short walk to (direct to Manhattan) trains.
I often take the G from Smith/Bergen to 53rd/lex with transfer in LIC and with a seat on G part of it. Don’t know what the gripe is.
“in my opinion if you have to take the G to commute you may as well live in Jersey.”
first of all this is an idiotic statement. secondly, most parts of Clinton Hill are as close to the C as the G.
Anyone know what kind of tax abatement this building has? What’s going to happen to monthly taxes over the years?
While <$500psf is a great deal on an apartment in Fort Greene in principle, this building’s ridiculous common charges put it in a different class than most condos around the area. Even at these new, bank-busting prices, it’s still not a bargain.
“Crazy…These could go fast at these prices.”
Quarter off now or half off later (300 to 400 PSF). How much do you want to pay?
***Bid half off peak comps***
in my opinion if you have to take the G to commute you may as well live in Jersey.
kens- and i bet you don’t get up for old or pregnant ladies, either. just pretend to *sleep*. big meany.
the morning f sucks doorknobs if you try to get on anywhere in from 7th ave. period.
I dunno Gem. I’ve been using F for about 11 years and gotta say, eventhough its a bit slower, I always get a seat and sleep on the train. Plus, it seems like the least amount of problems on rails (until recently) over other trains.
