Last Week's Biggest Sales
We’d be surprised if the Slope manse on Montgomery doesn’t end up being one of the top-5 sales in the neighborhood this year. How ’bout that markup on the Carroll Gardens house? 1.

We’d be surprised if the Slope manse on Montgomery doesn’t end up being one of the top-5 sales in the neighborhood this year. How ’bout that markup on the Carroll Gardens house?
1. PARK SLOPE $3,300,000
52 Montgomery Place GMAP (left)
5,238-square-foot nine-bedroom first hit the market last April (HOTD, listed at $3,675,000); price subsequently chopped to $3,300,000, and there she went. Deed recorded 3/4.
2. PARK SLOPE $2,195,000
40 St. Marks Avenue GMAP (right)
The sellers here hit the sweet spot, asking-wise. The brownstone between 5th and 6th aves. was purchased by them for $900,000 in 2003. Deed recorded 3/5.
3. MANHATTAN BEACH $1,850,000
282 Beaumont Street GMAP
2,896-sf, 2-family house built circa 1925. Listing MIA. Deed recorded 3/5.
4. PARK SLOPE $1,752,000
393 5th Street GMAP
Another one between 5th and 6th aves, this time in Center Slope. Was it listed? 3,012-sf 3-fam house. Deed recorded 3/4.
5. CARROLL GARDENS $1,670,000
29 2nd Street GMAP
Interesting: This one appears to have gone for a pretty penny over ask. StreetEasy shows the 3-fam townhouse listed in October for $1.5 mil. Deed recorded 3/3.
Park Slope was never named the most dangerous neighborhood in the United States.
Bed Stuy still has a long way to go to get rid of that PR problem.
dolkart’s mission was a success!
3:47 “finer” is not a fact and I highly doubt you or dolkart ever took a stroll through all of Bed Stuy to see what’s “intact”.
I’m a firm beliver in time not a person’s essay and, I still say Bed Stuy can shit out not 1 but 3 “finer and intact” park slopes.
For the record PS does deserve the title it’s come along way… 25k yesterday now 3 million today.
Give Bed Stuy some time and you’re an old foggie looking back at what your wrote in brownstoner you’ll think of me.
Throughout the history of time, houses sold for below ask 99% of the time.
Only from about 2001-2006, did they ever routinely sell for above ask.
If you do not know this, you are ill-informed.
So it would seem we are back to normal.
The areas in Park Slope where there are consistent, uninterrupted blocks of intact brownstones are tiny and few. Also there are houses by more significant architects across the park who did grander houses, like the ones found in Brooklyn Heights. It would be difficult to measure it all up precisely in a comparison, so you could go on and on in this battle without reaching a conclusion there are so many factors to consider. But there’s no question Dolkart misstated things and conveniently ignored a lot of Brooklyn and he totally had an agenda. I’d never believe anything I read by that guy again.
If there is a trend – which there is – of houses going for below ask rather than above ask, then the market is softening.
Prices are coming down. They will come down further.
that doesn’t mean prices are coming down, 4:34.
what if the asking price was 5 million?
would you have said the same or would you have said the asking price was absurd. there is a difference, you realize.
you need to learn the difference between an asking price and a healthy selling price.
if a house selling in brooklyn for 3.3 million means to you the market is tanking, you need to reassess.
“prices are going to come down everywhere”
They already have. Note the $375,000 haircut on the Montgomery Place house above.
HA HA this is 1:12 and I was being completely facetious – i.e., making fun of the slopers who every day trot out those two tired bits of PS propoganda. EVERYBODY WAKE UP – prices are going to come down everywhere.
3:47: Can you not read??
It doesn’t say PS is the largest…it says FINER AND MOST INTACT!
FUNCTIONAL READING!
You’d have to be literally blind to not think PS is a finer and more intact neighborhood than Bed Stuy. If it weren’t, they wouldn’t be trying to give away houses in the Stuy right now. They certainly aren’t selling for 3 million bucks anytime soon.
