11233 – glad someone finds the current climate funny. Or is it that you go in for gallows humor?
Also, P.S., isn’t the going rent rate on a one-bedroom floor-through on a Clinton Hill brownstone fairly low? Like somewhere between $1200 and $1800? So the rental wouldn’t make up a huge portion of the mortgage?
Somebody who lives in Clinton Hill please explain to me who is buying these brownstones: Retired couples who sold their UWS apartment they bought in 1986 and made $10 billion? Two-earner lawyers? And if they can afford Clinton Hill, why Clinton Hill? Why not Park Slope or Brooklyn Heights or Carroll Gardens or whatever? Or Bed Stuy? What is the difference?
Miss Muffet: I find your comments really fun. I know you don’t intend them to be, but I think they are funny.
Let’s just keep watching the market and see what happens. Just about every indicator shows we’ve now turned a corner and, while prices have started to come down (despite the occasional recent anamoly like Waverly), the price erosion will now accelerate.
ks8000, that explains it. i can’t remember what the rental unit looked like, but i recall thinking (in 2006, when it was a bit cheaper) that, though cute and definitely in good condition, it wasn’t a great deal given the location and size. also, the kitchen, while staged well in the photos, wasn’t really built to last. and there were other properties in that same price range ($1.1-$1.3) in boerum hill, west carroll gardens, fort greene and prospect heights for the same size or larger. some of those places needed a bit of work, but were still better deals in our estimation. what’s interesting is that, since then (early 2007), we’ve seen very few attractive houses in that price range or less in any of those neighborhoods.
Hank- very nice area, “gentrified” long ago but that end of south slope/ windsor terrace still retains some of the vibe (in my opinion) that this area had 10/ 15 years ago (you won’t be fighting against as many double-wide strollers). Terrace Bagels and Connecticut Muffin are great, other restaurants continue to press on, with recent new restaurants opening. Close to the park etc. Just don’t know how many “private homes” are available to rent in that area.
Santa u got it.
im up.
i dont have the money to buy contacts let alone a downpayment on an apartment.
no need to get nasty.
