Four-story, two-family, 3,420-sf brownstone in the Brooklyn Heights Historic District. StreetEasy shows the pricing history was thus: Listed for $4,950,000 in September; price reduced to $4,600,000 in December; went into contract in February. Deed recorded 4/29.
2. DUMBO $2,240,000

Another big closing at J Condo, which has made it into the top sales roundup a couple of times in the past few months. Sale was of unit 31A. Deed recorded 5/2.
3. COBBLE HILL $2,050,000
249 Degraw Street GMAP
This 4-bed, 3.5-bath, 2,780-sf condo was marketed as a four-level loft. Per StreetEasy, the property went on the market in October and was listed at $2,450,000; it went into contract in January. Deed recorded 5/2.
4. COBBLE HILL $2,000,000
37 Tompkins Place GMAP
It appears that someone wanted this two-floor, 4-bed, 2-bath, 1850-sf condo pretty badly: StreetEasy shows it being listed at $1,750,000 in late February and going into contract within a few weeks. Deed recorded 5/2.
5. CLINTON HILL $1,725,000
282 DeKalb Avenue GMAP
This Romanesque Revival house was asking $2,200,000 when featured as a House of the Day in November. A commenter on the thread last fall more or less hit the nail on the head: “I would fear that this place is extremely dark inside because there is a building right next to it. I could see $1.75 at max.” Deed recorded 4/29.

People earning $100k pay taxes, including SSI. It’s the hedge fund managers taking home $100 million who get the reduced rates.
Just because you are suffering doesn’t mean it’s the fault of the people in worse shape than you.
By 3 years prices should be down to half where they are now and you’ll have no problem buying–Dave and his crowd won’t want to anymore. Just hold on.
Every landlord I’ve had is an ahole and doesn’t keep up the building as well as it should be maintained.
And my rent goes up every year so that I have to move about every 3. I hate it.
I’m saving now to buy. I hope in 2 more years I’ll have enough.
renting is bascially hassle free – its not so bad.
I wish I owned…I’m so sick of renting.
It’s horrific.
I think Dave is actually the What. Is it just a coincidence that just as the What dropped out of the picture, Daveinbedstuy shows up? He decides that since people started paying attention to all the doom and gloom with bank write downs and layoffs, that it would be fun to go to the pump and dump side. Don’t you all realize that Dave is the smartest guy in the (chat) room? I should have talked to Dave back when I was trading EM currencies back in the mid-90s. I never knew it was so wasy to predict which way they were going to go. I guess that’s why Dave was able to step up from that basement apartment in Weehawken to the palace in bedsty.
the top 25% is anyone earning over only $62K. Too many people getting a free ride on taxes. The top rate is 35% – and thats without city and state taxes.

4.08 – who is your comment aimed at? You mean the Government just deciding to remove the cap?
The top 25% of earners in the country paid 86% of the federal taxes. The governmental benefits we all get are shouldered by them.
