Last Week's Biggest Sales
Most of these properties saw price cuts before they moved, but all the prices seem fairly healthy. We wonder whether the Tara 104 Buckingham sale is a record for Prospect Park South. 1.

“I ran my air conditioner practically continuously all summer. ”
No wonder the ice caps are melting.
No PJs anywhere near the Buckingham house. Even Vanderveer Estates, which the new owners are working mightily to upgrade and market to middle-class tenants, is almost 2 miles away.
Why is it when non-buppie black people live anywhere near — or god forbid in — an attractive neighborhood posters here assume they live in public housing projects? Though if you recently moved into rapidly cleansing Fort Greene you could be forgiven for the impression.
I ran my air conditioner practically continuously all summer. How many days are there in a year? about 360? I would say about half of those days are insufferable in brooklyn without air conditioning.
Gabby,
Houses #1, #2 and #3 all went for under final asking price couldn’t tell with #4 and #5 was a foreclosure. You only showed the difference in price for #1 and #2 in this thread. Why not be more consistent and show the differences on all of them?
“Brooklyn has 5-7 hot humid nights a summer??????????”
I ran my AC about 5 times last year. But I’m from Texas, so these New York summers seem downright dry and chilly.
Proximity to the PJ’s in NYC does affect property values but not to the extent that you might think. Williamsburgh, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Park Slope, Bed-Stuy and Boerum Hill are all very close to or the location of some of Brooklyn’s most notorius
PJ’s and those neighborhoods manage to hold their values. Flatbush has Vanderveer Estates which is privately owned and not technically a project. In some of these areas it is literally a “tale of two cities” with residents on either side of the divide never interacting. And no, getting robbed is not considered interaction nor is being knocked off of the sidewalk by a woman pushing her child in a big ass stroller.
3:57. There are no PJ’s in Flatbush.
speaking as a semi-obese person who loved air conditioning even in his skinny days, 40 thou for central air is money well spent. fuck the trees.
Somebody spending 2 million on a big ass old house that needs work, in that neighborhood, is rich enough to spend 40K for AC. I can assure you that it wasn’t a hipster or an investment broker and it wasn’t someone who was priced out of somewhere else. This buyer will do justice to this old the house.
