@David from Third and Bond: I was looking at the price and thinking about when The Clocktower condos first went on the market. The highest priced apartment was around $650,000. What a difference a decade makes.
Why are people trying to put up a good spin on the Ft. Greene house? Wasder, you’re absolutely right, things are more in line with 2005. Yes, the house did sell for more in 2010 but we don’t know how much work/money was put into the house. Either way the seller lost money when you include broker fees and modest carrying cost.

***Bid half off peak comps***
Agreed antidope that is not a bad outcome. A nice period of stable prices and a breather from the insanity up or down would be a welcome situation.
Outcome ongoing. No free lunch for wild appreciation. Piper says “fuck you pay me”.

If you want to track real estate appreciation in Dumbo, I was the first owner at 1 Main Street #7J, signing a contract in June, 1998. Offering Plan sales price: $520,000.
190 Clermont is not in the Historic District (and so not landmarked), but a great location nonetheless.
Testing 1-2-3. Is this thing on? Or did Snappy’s 1156 OT post break the site?
i was thinking we would see some in the 2’s for biggest sales. these are good for mid level i guess.
