Pretty brisk business in the brownstone neighborhoods and a head-scratcher in Manhattan Beach.
1. COBBLE HILL $3,950,000
13 Tompkins Place GMAP (left)
This 4,100-sf townhouse was originally listed for $4.5 million in February, according to StreetEasy. Asking dropped by a quarter mil about 5 months ago. House has two units, one of which is a 5-bedroom triplex. Deed recorded 9/02.
2. MANHATTAN BEACH $3,050,000
150 Hastings Street GMAP (right)
3,532-sf house on a 6,000-sf lot half a block from Manhattan Beach Park. Property Shark records show it last traded for $800,000 in 2005—quite the meteoric appreciation.
3. BOERUM HILL $2,700,000
253 Dean Street Street GMAP
20 ft x 42 ft townhouse with an owner’s triplex and rental unit. The property sold quickly: It was listed for $2.495 million in late May. The Los Angeles-based person who signed as a trustee for the purchase has the same name as someone who’s reportedly dating a star of the TV show “Grey’s Anatomy.” Coincidence? Deed recorded 9/03.

3,496-ft, 2-family house priced at $1.995 million when it was an Open House Pick this May. Deed recorded 9/03.

Yeah Biff…sorry about that. I made her up the day after I made up Bold type Guest. You were getting beat up psrticularly badly that day so i sent her to your rescue. Those were fun times back then!!!!!
wasder, I forgot all about Buckfast! That was a good one.
Dave, I do remember Brooke Lynne. I thought that handle was quite clever and wish she stuck around. Of course, the fact she was very complimentary didn’t hurt 🙂
“Question is, who will he emerge as next…stay tuned!”
I expect a Buckfast sighting pretty soon. Buckfast McWhatstein is What’s nephew from Lodi.
Denton–I know its obvious linguistically but if I am in a position where I am comfortably making payments to a house I plan to own for the long haul, how am I under water? I have nothing (I repeat nothing) currently invested in the stock market so that line of reasoning is out. I just want him to say it, especially since he’s having so much fun with it.
Wasder, the handle is obvious, DowWhat believes the stock market is fairly valued when the Dow falls to 8000 and the S&P 500 falls to 800.
Except that the What earlier stated equities markets are for suckers, which should mean at any price.
Biff…remember Brooke Lynn? we never heard from her more than but once!!!
Dave, I don’t think you’ll be getting a response. It seems he has to return to the gravel pit and we won’t be hearing anything more until he slides down the dinosaur in an hour or so. Question is, who will he emerge as next…stay tuned!
DOW–I have noted that you are polite (for the most part) when you post, and I have refrained from calling you DOWhat for the last week or so, though by no means am I convinced that you are not the same person (I am giving you the benefit of the doubt). Any time you write something that doesn’t include the phrase “I am in your head” or some other What-ism I attempt to answer with some form of decorum.
So whatever unpleasantness emanates from this site doesn’t start with me.
Now to your points—Of course I think that Brooklyn will get hit harder than Manhattan in foreclosures. We have already gotten hit pretty hard and its likely to get worse before it gets better. Your article however told me nothing new and nothing that seemed particularly relevant to this discussion.
If you are “having fun” with names you could explain the derivation of your name for me. I would appreciate it.
And do you really not know that there are already far more foreclosures in Brooklyn than in Manhattan. There are 93 in Manhattan….there are hundreds in Brooklyn.
