House of the Day: 170 South Oxford Street
This house at 170 South Oxford Street in Fort Greene is a cutie, all the more charming for its unusual large front yard. The 4,000-square-foot brick house, which is asking $1,675,000, appears to be in excellent shape too. Probably its biggest drawback is its location. While quite convenient, these blocks between Fulton and Atlantic generally…
This house at 170 South Oxford Street in Fort Greene is a cutie, all the more charming for its unusual large front yard. The 4,000-square-foot brick house, which is asking $1,675,000, appears to be in excellent shape too. Probably its biggest drawback is its location. While quite convenient, these blocks between Fulton and Atlantic generally don’t command the same prices as those to the north. This place in particular has an uphill battle given its proximity to the Ratner-developed newish townhouses.

Biff, I believe you just called yourself an Ass!!
My work is done here. I don’t need to insult you, you’re doing a fine job of it!
If the Fed, as it is saying today, is going to start buying Treasuries and drives the long bond rates down to someewhere close to 2%, the recession will end quickly.
“And you should know about PlasticIne…or is that plastic figures.”
I actually realized the typo after posting but figured nobody (other than some anal, cyber spelling cop like me) is going to pick up on that one. Oh well, live by the sword, die by the sword.
DIBS – I’m hardly alone in predicting a significant correction. It is the view of many real estate experts. My position is simply that there is currently no rush to buy. That does not mean I’m not actively looking, just that I think prices are clearly not going up anytime soon, and since they’ve only just started to come down, I think they have quite a way to go. I already see evidence that I’m correct. I don’t pretend to know exactly how deep or long the downturn will be, but I do speak out against those bulls who continue to defend high prices as if they are justified despite all logic to the contrary. There is pretty much unanimity that this recession will last quite a while – the idea that it will end in mid-2009 looks very optimistic. Back to work…
The average length of recessions that’s all. If, as they predict, it lasts until mid 2009 it will be the longest running recession since the Great Depression. No one out there has any difinitive way of predicting the end. The stock market will tell you that the end is in sight when it starts to go up. And, you won’t be able to catch it.
Miss Muffett I haven’t really followed many of your posts and I know a lot of people get on your case for thinking everything’s going to be a lot cheaper and wait, wait. What if you are wrong??
Don’t have a lot of time now (busy work day) but re: the statement that we’re closer to end of the recession than the beginning, what makes you so sure?
PWND is nerd internet speak
City finance website says it’s wood frame with a wood front.
The listing says “federal period” but certainly not in Fort Greene. 1860s sounds more right. Maybe “federal style” or “greek revival.”
