Brownstoner, can you stock the thread hijacker who endlessly cuts and pastes?
PS may be on fire, but I have several friends who’ve had to drastically cut the prices on their places to see any interest, so even that fire is cooling. Plus, I know from talking to realtors (we’re in market for a townhouse) that they are getting *much* more negotiable. Does that mean you can pick up a prime PS tonnhouse for 200 psf? No, of course not. But can you get a substantial discount from the kinds of prices that are currently listed? Yes, from the evidence I’m seeing. Keeping the sales reports coming Brownstoner, I’m sure it will show the market is indeed softening, even in PS…
No more about Park Slope…we get it…it’s the best neighborhood in the entire city, heck the entire universe…aliens would move there, if they could afford it.
There’s no such thing as “prime” Clinton Hill.
“The conversations on here would be more interesting if there was more talk about what people liked and didn’t like about properties and was less about speculation on prices going forward.”
Wrong. Your response implicates your interest.
“Nobody knows what prices are going to do- if they did they’d be getting rich in real estate already and wouldn’t be wasting their time reading the comments on brownstoner.”
Nobody’s betting their life on prices. We all know there’s no guarantee on our predictions. When we say we KNOW, it’s code for we PREDICT. The comments are a pulse of market psychology and are in no way a waste of time. It is underground sources like brownstoner comments where you find the truth, not the mainstream media that is designed to control popular opinion for the economic gain of a few men and women.
I have a very close friend who works in the Real Estate business. She’s quite well respected and is really great at her job, from what I can tell.
She said there is definite softening in the market in terms of sales, although she said it’s about on par with sales pre-2002 or so. She also told me that it really depends on the neighborhood also. She said that for some reason, Park Slope is super hot right now and that there are a ton of people looking to get in on what they view a softer market. She works mostly in the Manhattan market, but said she has more clients ask about Park Slope than any other neighborhood right now.
Does anyone know why that is the case? I asked her and she hyped the neighborhood and said it’s become what the West Village was in the 1980’s and 90’s, but what is it about PS that makes it so desirable? I think it’s a fine place, but what is it about it that so many people love?
The flooded canal will keep the marauding western hordes at bay.
safety in numbers, park slope has enough housing to satisfied alot of demand and large enough to withstand some pain in the future when things go south.
1:02 you should read the first comment under the two condos for sale…not only does he know how much they will fall in price but by when!!!
But you are correct and I apologize for not adding anything.
Thanks, 12:49. It’s under $1,000 (utilities free!!!) in a Prime Clinton Hill floor-through. What is that, your maintenance?
