Tesla Motors selling for $21.70 up from $17 offering price on a genuine Wheeeeee!!!!!!!!! day.
People are crazy!
3 Beds in OBBP have sold like hotcakes after they cut the prices 30%. A few have even gone above the reduced ask.
The 2 Beds and 1 Beds, especially those without views, are languishing.
The comments about the Gravesend homes (every time they pop up here) are so misinformed. I mean, people are now paying $6,000 psf for homes in 15 Central Park West and upwards of $4,000 psf at the Plaza. Other high end homes where rich people usually park themselves in Manhattan are running well above $2,000 psf.
The Jewish population as a whole is extremely educated and entrepreneurial. There are many in the community who not only hold great wealth, but pass this wealth on from generation to generation.
Why would it be odd that this community would choose to spend this kind of money on a neighborhood they have carved out for themselves and seem to enjoy? Rich people in Manhattan do it all the time. Is it so odd that the same thing would be happening in Brooklyn except instead of apartments on Central Park West, they are single family homes settled around a synagogue where all their friends, family and stores reside…?
Three words: Jacob the Jeweler.
Why should the FBI be all over these sales?
Because you don’t work in the diamond district (where lots of the Syrian Jewish people work) making bank and you’re jealous?
The Gravesend home is clearly a tear down. Amazing really.
What is more amazing is that the FBI never investigates Gravesend transactions for money laundering. Not saying anything about this particular transaction, but the Feds should be all over many of these sales. It’s comical.
On the Carroll Gardens property, I don’t think the 4250 square foot data is accurate. Probalby includes the parking spaces.
Since it is about a block from front-gardened Carrol Street, which gives the neighborhood its name, then yes, it is Carroll Gardens.
tybur6, that 50c would’ve been deal breaker for me – ie yo 1.354M aint enough that you’ve got to squeeze another 50c out of me?? That’s it, aint buying it
