Foreclosures of the Week
There are a couple of cute houses up for auction today that aren’t in Bed-Stuy or East New York. To the left is a turn-of-the-century, three-story Bay Ridge house that appears to have been refinanced again and again (and again) by its current owner, who took control of the property in ’02.

There are a couple of cute houses up for auction today that aren’t in Bed-Stuy or East New York. To the left is a turn-of-the-century, three-story Bay Ridge house that appears to have been refinanced again and again (and again) by its current owner, who took control of the property in ’02. The lien for this one stands at $787,627. To the right, meanwhile, is a Flatbush house that seems to have been owned by the same people since 1976; the lien here is a comparatively skimpy $85,753, suggesting a sadder story. Both auctions take place at 3 p.m. this afternoon at 360 Adams Street, room 261.

Before “the what” gets sent to “the island of nowhere” – let’s make it clear: NYC Real estate is STILL very strong, the strongest in the country. Maybe someday “the what” will be right, but for now he is just a rude fool.
Yeah, The What has *never* used profanity before this.
1:50:
Yes, he does. It’s his blog.
as sporadically entertaining as I find The What to be (sort of like the crazy, offensive uncle spicing things up at thanksgiving), he’s getting old. It would be nice to have some away time…ban away.

The What doesn’t get to write profanity, but you get to say obscene things?
At least The What is funny…

Who peed in your cheerios this morning, 1:08? First of all, there’s no pattern here so stop looking for a conspiracy theory where there ain’t one–this is the first time in recent memory where we happened to forget to write the price, but we weren’t aware that that was a rule in the bloggers handbook. Secondly, we wrote that 202 Prospect had similar intentions when it first listed, and noted the $2,495,000 asking price. (166’s was $2,475,00) so any semi-intelligent reader could infer that that was around where the asking price was.
Give me a break more than half of Brooklyn is a disaster. Only a few places are worth living in and they are all too damn expensive. Reality check its not Manhattan.
Since Brownstoner seems to be reading this comments thread, a hijack: any response to the questions from yesterday’s HOTD thread on why you seem to be leaving prices off the Corcoran HOTDs?
The house in Flatbush is cute.
