Pretty brisk business in the brownstone neighborhoods and a head-scratcher in Manhattan Beach.

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.

4. CLINTON HILL $1,895,000
298 Lafayette Avenue GMAP
3,496-ft, 2-family house priced at $1.995 million when it was an Open House Pick this May. Deed recorded 9/03.

5. CARROLL GARDENS $1,830,000
16 4th Place, Unit 1 GMAP
Triplex condo in a 19th century townhouse. Listed in April for a hair above the closing price, according to StreetEasy. Deed recorded 9/02.

  1. “Even DOW8000 misses the point of the article that he posts!!!!!

    Now I’m sure he’s the What.”

    He asked for my point, not the point of the article. My point happened to be inherent in the headline.

    Nom I’m sure you’ve overpaidinbedstuy.

  2. Ahh, poor poor DOWhat, getting picked on and being called names in a hostile environment after posting his “polite comments”. Someone please get him his soother and binkie.

  3. moreteasir, I see where you’re coming from, but I would hate to see DOWhat banned. I really would. He’s the most unintentionally amusing character here. It’s eerily coincidental how, under both logins, 98% of his posts are quoting other posters or a website. He should at least try to distinguish them more by something other than the fact he posts slightly more eloquently as DOW.

  4. “Why are you linking to an article about foreclosures in manhattan here on a thread about Brooklyn home sales?”

    You don’t agree that Brooklyn will get hit harder than Manhattan?

  5. “TWAT makes a this site hostile and unpleasant”

    Not by himself (no, I don’t mean me too).

    “Underwasder obviously references under water, but how that relates to me is unexplained.”

    Over time, I have responded to the hostile environment that results from my bearish but polite comments about what I thought, and still think, were ridiculous and unsustainable Brooklyn home prices. Hence the return name-calling. But here’s the kicker: I have fun with it.

  6. I seriously get a huge kick when I see The What personality disappear and the DOW personality appear. It’s almost as hilarious as when they appear almost (of course never exactly) at the same time and compliment each other. I don’t even think DOW is trying hard to disguise it anymore. Even the most casual of visitors here would have guessed the post at 3:16 was from The What if they didn’t see DOW’s sign-off. Please keep it up DOWhat, it’s precious.
