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.

wasder….its obvious if you read the article. The number of foreclosures in Manhattan has jumped to 93. Yes, 93. That’s ninety three!!!
That means there are 93 fewer people from Manhattan that can sell their condos and buy a brownstone in Brooklyn.
If this isn’t significant to the Brooklyn real estate market then I don’t know what is and shame on you for not being able to figure that out!!!!!! Jeesh
All right then. Let me be more specific. Why are you linking to an article about foreclosures in manhattan here on a thread about Brooklyn home sales?
“…it seems all these people have overextended themselves and got into financial difficulties that have nothing to do with the values of their properties.”
So it seems. But you know and I know that the mark-to-appreciation-model has everything to do with it. “You can’t lose in Manhattan RE!!!”.
“Meanwhile, what point are you making with this article you have linked to?”
That foreclosure makes its move on Manhattan.
And DOW could you please explain the import of your moniker for me. I call you DOWhat (though I am on a moratorium from that) because I strongly suspect that you guys are the same person. I call What TWAT when I am referring to him singularly because he is one. Underwasder obviously references under water, but how that relates to me is unexplained. Do fill me in. Thanks.
Also, I think that if Brownstoner could ban TWAT he would do so. I know that some people say no publicity is bad publicity but TWAT makes a this site hostile and unpleasant which can’t be a good calling card.
Curious to know whether Brownstoner has tried to link DOW and The What through their IP addresses?
DOW…in that article it seems all these people have overextended themselves and got into financial difficulties that have nothing to do with the values of their properties. It’s very sad and their ability to borrow was fortified by the easy money but again, as with most of these, who is to blame???
DOW–could you please restrain your other half for the rest of the day. He is in especially tedious form.
Meanwhile, what point are you making with this article you have linked to?

“I think the what should be banned.”
You don’t steer traffic from NY Mag and get banned.
