Hey, Something Sold!
Here’s a refreshing ray of light in what has been a pretty bleak few months of real estate news: Apartment #3 at 210 Berkeley Place in Park Slope, which came onto the market for $599,000 in late September just days after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, closed just before Christmas for $592,500; the two-bedroom floor-through…
Here’s a refreshing ray of light in what has been a pretty bleak few months of real estate news: Apartment #3 at 210 Berkeley Place in Park Slope, which came onto the market for $599,000 in late September just days after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, closed just before Christmas for $592,500; the two-bedroom floor-through has a maintenance of $525. (Floorplan on the jump.) In fact, it looks like it went into contract in less than three weeks on the market. Any other anecdotes like this?

BRG…you’re kinda freaky!!!!!
It’s true that sometimes the button-down types one meets during the day become freaks over the weekends, but for the most part they become freaks on the golf course.
Freaky Wall Streeters…there are plenty.
Boring dull artsy types litter, do I dare say it….ah, never mind.
There are definitely more freaky/funky people in non-Wall St. jobs. I’m not going to argue that at all. My office is above the JWT offices here in manhattan and they are a funky lot…and too many hipsters as well!!!! 🙂
I think a big change is that in the boom people were comparing up and now they are comparing laterally and down. People used to say “this house in [a fringe area] is 1.5M, but it would be 3M in Park Slope!” Which was a stupid and pointless comparision. Now they are saying “This is nice house but for the same money I could get a decent apartment in the slope or the same house for even less in [wherever].”
funky wall streeters? I have never met any.
Location location location, never forget it.
What were we thinking?
well, I know a few lawyer/wall st. types who are definitely more super freaky/funky than many artists I know. (they’re just more private about it….unless it’s dave who has posted muchly about his Mexican boyfriend 🙂
In fact, after the last few years I think artist/freaky IS the new normal.
Haha. True enough Dave!!
I didn’t mean to imply that there are NO freaky deaky’s out there in your line of work, just that there seem to be more in mine. You should see one of our conferences…it’s like going to the freakin’ circus!!!
There are!!!
