House of the Day: 64 Prospect Place
Here’s a nice two-family in Park Slope for under $3 million. Then again, the Queen Anne house is smaller than your average brownstone so the asking price of $2,650,000 only gets you 2,910 square feet of living space. Nonetheless, the exterior and parlor floor have charm galore and the garden apartment generates $2,200 a month….

The New York economomy is more or less driven by Wall Street. It is to us what the entertainment industry is to LA.
Wall street does not seem to be riding too high right now. $2 a share for Bear Stern stock? It was at $160 a share a year ago. Is that just a minor stumble or leg-breaking fall?
Our currency is in trouble, our banks and insurance companies are in trouble, I think there may be a lot of houses and condos coming on the market in the next year. I can’t believe anyone is buying right now except for the most wealthy or for those who are getting foreclosure deals.
to those who are potential buyers (but believe prices are coming down), why not bid low and see if sellers agree? What would happen if all houses on the market in Park Slope received bids well below asking price? Would anyone bite? Perhaps this is already happening.

Get a clue. Lehman is next; then Katie bar the door.
FYI all you potential buyers out there; we know from several sources brokers are essentially disallowing price cuts suggested by anxious owners. Be patient, the dam is about to burst.
are your brains so small that you don’t realize that because one thing happens, it does not mean that every situation plays out identical to that one.
or do your pea sized brains not have the capacity to decipher that?
I agree with 3:20. The 4000/4500 sf houses out there that are held up as the gold standard on this site were designed for extended families with more children, grandparents living in, etc. than is typical today.
“There is no housing collapse in Brooklyn.”
Jim Cramer, is that you? Just last week you said, “No! No! No! Bear Stearns is not in trouble.”
Just like “falter” did not mean “fail” for Bear Stearns on Friday.
Buzz buzz!
Falter is a BIG deal, 4:07–keep up your denial.
falter does not mean fail, 3:58.
you are the queen bee of the drama queens.
keep cutting and pasting thought. really helps your case.
