There have already been some signs that the Brooklyn market has not getting as beat up as Manhattan of late but this may be the most bullish indicator of Brooklyn’s prospects we’ve seen yet: As of the middle of the day yesterday, the ten most viewed open houses on Corcoran were all in Brooklyn. “We hope that this unique feature can give you a timely insight into the online real estate market,” reads the site. Indeed!

Whuh, thanks for playing, but people will still be getting married, still be having children and still be raising families in the city. You had me until you said “dried up for a generation” as if you are suggesting people still aren’t going to buy and sell once this mess is over in a couple years.
Dumb.
My guess is that this last and presumably final round of bonuses will go into vanity houses in Brooklyn –i.e., a banker who understands the game is up, with a net worth of between ten and twenty million, in the market for a big residence, will now look in Brooklyn instead of Tribeca or the WV. Prediction: We’ll see a round of sales of the nicest properties in the most desirable neighborhoods at close to ask; we’ll hear endlessly from DIBS about how this vindicates his bullishness (even as he hides from us how tough the rental market is in fringe-world); the market goes into toxic shock somewhere between mid-summer and fall, when it becomes clear the gravy train has dried up for a generation.
agreed about Wycoff Street – nice house, nice price – tough nabe though between the two projects
I know 11217.. but it might have spurred all of us going to there site enmasse to check out their properties in the slope!
I promise that wasn’t my intent, gemini. It was a total joke.
I think this is a cool feature
however now there are many Park Slope houses on their top 10, perhaps once 11217 made that statement all the Brownstoner traffic went to see if Corcoran had any Park Slope Homes for sale…
223 Wyckoff DOES look interesting. I know that block well, as I had a boyfriend who lived a couple doors down.
It’s an interesting block because it’s really nice and relatively quiet, but on one end is the Gowanus Houses and the other is the Wyckoff Gardens and this tree-lined block is just kinda sandwiched in between.
I didn’t feel as comfortable there as I do in my own neighborhood, but for that price in that location, I’d say it’s a great deal. You are just a couple minute walk to Smith Street, 5th Avenue and Atlantic Avenue with a couple trains really nearby.
Nice place.
I went to an open house this weekend for a 3b apartment in brooklyn heights over the weekend. It was packed with people asking serious questions (“when do they want to close?”). I think nice apartments that are priced right are getting some takers…
223 Wyckoff Street looks interesting. I was under the impression at first that they were not mostly condos, alas.
11217, if it’s any consolation, right now, 5 of the top 10 are in park slope
And they’re all still brooklyn
