Foreclosures Not Just for Sub-Prime Nabes Anymore?
For most of the last 18 months as the real estate market declined and the number of foreclosures rose it was unusual to see a property anywhere west of Classon Avenue show up in Property Shark’s list of weekly auctions.

For most of the last 18 months as the real estate market declined and the number of foreclosures rose it was unusual to see a property anywhere west of Classon Avenue show up in Property Shark’s list of weekly auctions. So we were interested to see the line-up for this Thursday at Kings County Courthouse: Among the usual smattering of addresses in Bed Stuy, Bushwick and elsewhere were 426 6th Avenue (Park Slope), 325 Clinton Avenue (Clinton Hill), 40 Remsen Street (Brooklyn Heights) and 451 State Street (Boerum Hill). Statistical anomaly or a changing of the tide?

Is 426 6th a homeowner’s residence? Looks like a rental property from the pic. I wonder what the story is.

I am authorized to report that although the Good Doctor’s many areas of expertise do not officially include pyschiatric diagnosis, he is of the opinion that “Rob” is respressing more than an ample sufficienicy of hostility.
Err, I thought Dave just might have been a bit sarcastic although, when I moved here ALL of brownstone Brooklyn, with the possible exception of Brooklyn Heights and, of course, Lefferts Manor 🙂 , was fringe.
i’ve decided today today that i have absolutely NO sympathy for people in foreclosure of their homes. WAAAAAAh i can’t afford my mortgage payment but i can buy a 72 inch plasma tv waaaaaaaah! b-tch i can’t afford my rent, but somehow i make it happen without welfare.
loser homeowners.

don’t worry, the massive wall st bonuses will save ’em all
