Actually 5:25, the article you posted is about NEW home sales, so it is indeed OFF-TOPIC.
Nice pumping attempt though.
Not at all transparent.
This is a little off topic…But, can someone estimate what we should expect to offer for a 4-floor “regular” townhouse in prime Fort Greene that needs a real reno? Basically, by “prime†I mean “prime commuting walking distance and decent shopping‖anything south of DeKalb and west of, say, Clermont. By “real reno” I mean, new everything like windows, electric, heat/hot water systems, bathrooms and kitchens but the bones are decent with some details still intact…maybe new interior woodwork around windows and doors.
We have looked at a couple of places and don’t want (can’t afford) the really big houses like on South Portland and the park. And we don’t like the smaller ones on Carlton between Greene and Layette…saw one and its “garden†floor was really only a cellar with windows. We’re more in the market for an in-between sized brick rowhouse like on Lafayette or something.
The backyards in most of FG are not that deep like they are in Prospect Heights but really, it is more the convenience to all the trains in FG and the feel of the neighborhood we like. Truth is, we live here now and don’t want to leave.
Are all prices in prime FG near the trains well north of 1.6 even for places that, frankly, need a real reno?
Also, what’s the opinion out there (aside from “After AY…â€). Is it worth dropping 1.75 to 2m on a basic double-duplex or owner-duplex-plus-two-rentals in prime FG? Is the nabe going to remain “golden†or at least stable through this downturn?
Feedback please. Thanks!
This isn’t a thread about a Victorian home, 4:55.
It is a thread on residential sales in Brooklyn.
My post has as much to do with real estate sales in Brooklyn (which lies in the Northeast) than any of these asinine comments about subway trains nowhere near this Victorian house (one of three being profiled, btw).
4:02 – Interesting perhaps, but hardly applicable to this thread about a Victorian home.
Interesting note on the new home sales data released today:
“Regionally, the northeast is the least important part of the country for new home sales, but it is also the strongest. There were 65,000 new homes sold in that region last year, up 3 percent from 2006. But the other three regions were all down at least 26 percent, with the west (California, there you go) off the most at 32%.”
Of course this sold back in November, before all the gloom and doom stuff had really hit.
The Q/B is great. Might be the best subway line in Brooklyn. The Q/B does not make too many stops in Brooklyn like the 2/3 does. The N is good but scarce.
I don’t know why you are all talking about the F line, the victorian house is on the Q/B.
Sorry, I wouldn’t live on the F in ANY neighborhood, 1:22pm. I think when people complain about inadequate subways it’s any and all of the neighborhoods on the F line they’re talking about. That or the R.
Where we live in Brooklyn, we are on 2 different express trains to Manhattan. 20 minutes tops to get to Manhattan and the subway cars are not ever too crowded to get on the train. It’s the wait for the trains that sometimes slows us down. But we’ll blame the MTA for that. Some days there are a million trains and some days there’s one every 15 minutes. It’s irrational.
