i think it’s still too early to tell the impact of the economy on the housing prices in BK. these all went into contract in 08/08. things have drastically changed since then. more banks have failed. i think the next 6 months will tell a sader story.
11217….its clear that cornholedinthebodega and Whuh have no clue about homownership. I hope they know a bit more about a 401k because when they are retired and still renting, they better find a rent stabilised apartment because they aren’t going to be living on their social security.
Go team BULL Carroll Gardens with a touchdown.
corneholedinthebodega….welcome. I knew your input would be valuable.
Hey you dumb f&%cks…I’m talking about THESE HOUSES….HERE IN BROOKLYN…THAT WE”RE TALKING ABOUT IN THIS THREAD.
Like I said Ledbury….what do these Team Bear idiots sound like?????
I can’t believe I’m replying to you, Corndogbodega, but as ridiculous as it is to be cheerleading real estate in NYC, it’s equally ridiculous to say it’s dead for good as you and the What and BHO seem to be implying.
Most people on this blog bought for the long term, so your theories of everyone in a panic seem unfounded, not to mention irrelevant.
I wonder if my old landlord who bought his Upper West Side townhouse in 1992 for 450K also thought it was ridiculous when he sold it 16 years later for almost 8 million dollars.
Ledbury…I think the vast majority of us Asshats in Team Bull do actually believe in a downturn. Many of us have experience in these markets in different cycles, different parts of the country as well.
I believe that prices will still come down some here in Brooklyn. I do hold that townhouses (brownstone/brick/limestone but not Fedders) will come down less than condos and coops though. Many condo and coop owners don’t want to take the leap into home ownership and all the work that takes. I also stand by my ongoing prediction (or rant) that Brooklyn brownstones are increasingly appealing to the many thousands of condo owners in Manhattan seeking a different lifestyle. These peopl can suffer further 20% price cuts and still hava lot of cash left over after buying a brownstone.
I don’t think there’s one member of Team Bull that believes that prices are rising. I think we all see a moderate decline in prices but nothing that will lead to a collapse.
Team bear on the other hand almost universally think prices need to come down 50% or more. Who are the ones that are thinking more rationally based on what is going on and who are the ones pulling wild ass doom and gloom predictions out of their backsides.
I hope Panic Dave is no more than comic relief to anyone on here… the poor man knows he’s screwed. It’s one thing to hit a recession/depression like this, and own on Fifth Avenue, or UWS, or maybe even Heights/Slope. But Bed Stuy –that’s gonna leave a mark!
Dave, let me go over it again slowly –people who would previously have bought their pompous digs in WV now are taking the last of their bonus gravy and spending it out here. Therefore, you will crow and crow and crow, as the latest sales look to you like signs of a recovery, or at least a soft landing for Brooklyn RE. You will turn out to be wrong; because as anyone with a fully evolved cerebrum can tell you, this is only the beginning of something very, very frightening.

You can’t argue with intellectually challenged delusional morons like dibs, just too ignorant. He cuts and pastes a few lines from mainstream stories and makes a fool of himself. ie. EVERYBODY with half a brain knows that the #s are a temporary foreclosure driven blip concentrated in the midwest. Sales are down in the west and northeast. Furthermore, most with half a brain know that nyc downfall is lagging. I mean, this guy speculated in the ghetto and still believes prices are going up! LOL. Others like 11217 are just simply pseudointellectuals with petty holdings. At this point, if you’re still cheerleading real estate in nyc, seriously, YOU’RE A F*CKN MORON.
