  1. These prices are AMAZING.

    Between the Connelly mansion, PPW and these South Slope places, I’m really impressed with the sales in Park Slope in 2008 so far. Those are some serious numbers.

  2. 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. 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.

  3. Boerum Hill is HOTT!! Best neighborhood in Brooklyn – by far. I’m moving here as soon as I sell my 1br on the UWS. Looking to buy 2 br in Boerum Hill for cash. Again, great neighborhood & prices can only go up here. Anyone know about the BAM Cultural District? I like that particular area.

  4. “Seems like your statement is totally contradictory to what the naysayers have been preaching”

    Not what it seems. We’re consistent with the process, not the event. This boom/bust is on nobody’s schedule. It strikes when and where it wants.

    You cannot deny that prices are trending downwards. Cherrypicking a nabe or two is data spin. The boom was not confined to Fort Greene and South Slope. Neither will immunity be. In fact, there is no immunity. Just one economic pie to take slices from.
