haha.
i’m a newlywed though. let’s revisit the topic in a few years.
“In a bubble, everyone wants to live in PS, but can’t, so they end up in Bushwick. When demand falls, everyone still wants to live in PS, and now more can afford to. Guess where that leaves Bushwick.”
With less strollers. But seriously, nobody ever chose Bushwick because they couldn’t afford Park Slope. Bed-Stuy is there to catch you brownstoners. And thank god.
Interesting, BHO.
And it sounds like you’re saying the LWBS thread is representative, roughly, of the entire market.

“explicit claim of bho that all nabes will suffer roughly equally” – antidope
Why not? They all appreciated roughly +200%. Maybe with the exception of Dumbo, nabe income breakdowns have pretty much stayed in proportion to each other. Already intrinsic before excess Ponzi price fat.
“In a bubble, everyone wants to live in PS, but can’t, so they end up in Bushwick. When demand falls, everyone still wants to live in PS, and now more can afford to.” – denton
Whoops! You assume Park Slope isn’t upgradeable to Cobble Hill/Brooklyn Heights which isn’t upgradeable to UWS which isn’t upgradeable to UES. I’m talking townhouses. The tide of affordability floats all boats. Everybody gets an upgrade.
“Guess where that leaves Bushwick.” – denton
In the same scenario as Park Slope, a nabe with a lower median income.
***Bid half off peak comps***
I am happy with all my choices.

so you’re saying being gay is a choice??

Did anyone on here mention or discuss the fact that the Ebinger Bakery house in VF sold? It was in the Times a week ago. $1.2M, which was what someone was predicting in the very thread that discussed the Dorchester house. (I said Dorchester would go for not much less than $1.3M so I called that one all right, I guess.)
The Ebinger house was my secret real estate lust object and probably always will be, but it was too much house for us.
hey denton, what about the russian gazillionaire who just walked from his 10% down payment on the priciest piece of real estate (ever?). im pretty sure that nabe was better *quality* we know it wasn’t bc of liquidity issues…
i tend to agree that certain nabes, sub-nabes, micro-nabes will trend up and down at diff rates, but no sector is immune, imo. and lwbs is not nabe-specific — it’s dollar specific. many of the biggest sales come from decidely bluer collar areas like WT. and i dont think a high end WT home is a comp for a mediocre CH or CG home.
I’m glad someone’s here to tally the count, Whuh. You’ve finally added something to the thread without making it solely an ad hominem attack on anything I say.
I am happy with all my choices.
