House of the Day: 1372 Dean Street
We’re loving the looks of this brick three-story house at 1372 Dean Street in the Crown Heights North Historic District. From the outside, that is. Who could resist that rounded tower? The inside, however, is looking a little worse for the wear and makes the asking price of $1,250,000 little more than a pipe dream…
We’re loving the looks of this brick three-story house at 1372 Dean Street in the Crown Heights North Historic District. From the outside, that is. Who could resist that rounded tower? The inside, however, is looking a little worse for the wear and makes the asking price of $1,250,000 little more than a pipe dream in this market, in our opinion. What’s more, this place is chopped up into a five units, which presents its own set of potential drawbacks. (Three of the apartments are currently rented.) On the positive side, there’s a driveway with room for two cars. We just don’t see how a place like this is going to clear a million bucks in this environment.

What…I don’t need a “cut and paste” economics lesson. I’ve been doing this far longer than you’ve read about it.
reference me if you will the “mutant” description from somewhere.
According to Webster (on-line)
Mutant: of, relating to, or produced by mutation
Mutation: a relatively permanent change in hereditary material involving either a physical change in chromosome relations or a biochemical change in the codons that make up genes
How this relates to Real Estate, I don’t know.
Yo Fatty, if it’s signed “What” it’s the real McCoy. That’s his new handle.
“why is it a “Mutant” real estate bubble and not a plain old orcdinary bubble What?”
Massive expansion of the money supply! You see your Homeboy Greensperm stopped publishing M3 money supply.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_supply
The money supply, or money stock, refers to the total amount of money held by the nonbank public at a point in time in an economy.[1] There are several ways to measure such an amount (called a monetary aggregate), but each includes currency in circulation plus demand deposits (checking-account money).[2][3]
So now we can make loans to Asshats and lie about inflation! If you want to the true money supply check this site out.

Have you ever wondered why the CPI, GDP and employment numbers run counter to your personal and business experiences? The problem lies in biased and often-manipulated government reporting.
You see Dave this is the foundation for my rants! Every Asshat wants to attack The What but don’t want to research information. When not if the drain all the excess money out of the system, the whole house of cards collapses!

Aussie- Crown Heights North was once a very wealthy area and to some extent changes over the years have mitigated that impression as so many incredible mansions were torn down. CHN had quite a few freestanding mansions in Brower Park, as well as other parts of the area. Many of the large apartment buildings were built on the site of those mansions, and the size of the later buildings can give you some idea of the scale of the original mansion footprint. Montrose Morris is far more knowledgeable about the area than anyone else I can think of so hopefully MM can post about this.

“Is there anything more retarded than the fake what posting on the blog that he doesn’t like anymore? I would say the mandatory registration has already achieved its desired effects: more objective discussions and less what.”
Hey Fucktard, at what cost?? I would like to thank Brownstoner for killing this Blog. The dialogue has been bland and boring. I wonder what going to happen when Wall Street gets hit by that Shockwave?! This place has turned into a pompous circle jerk by fart smelling smug assfucks!
But don’t worry! While you are asleep the Big Boys are assraping you now. Did you see Paulson asking CONgress for a Fannie and Freddie bail out? No you didn’t, why? you was here jerking out with your “Fake What” postings.
Enjoy the little time you have left of this Mutant Real Estate Bubble. I wonder what will be the talk in 2009?

Montrose, thanks. We stopped looking aggressively – hubby is a little panicked with all that is going on in the financial world. I still browse throught the listings and if something catches my eye, we’ll follow up.
We tried to go to the Elkins Open House (way back), but got our dates wrong. So we ended up walking around the neighborhood and were very impressed with the architecture. Have been back several times, just looking around. When the time is right, we might be your neighbor.
Laurie, seems like, we’re both looking for the same thing 🙂
I knew that you would get it Montrose Morris. I just found out that he was the architect that designed my house in 1889 and a lot of houses in Bedford Stuyvesant, Crown Heights and Park Slope along with his son…
