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.

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.
Proof that 12:13 has no background in business or real estate:
If all of Brooklyn does well, Park Slope does even better. If parts of Brooklyn that were undergoing improvements and increased values suddenly plummeted it would not bode well for the entire market in NYC. The trend to improve Brooklyn including fringe areas did not start 3 years ago. It started well over a decade ago as a noted migration from the suburbs for young professional families.
So why on earth wish for other neighborhoods to go into some kind of economic ruin?
There being no economic reason for it, the sole reason is to feel superior. Addressing why that need is there, the need to feel good that’s fulfilled by the more important things in life like spouse or family or career, that’s up to you.
7th ave. was never gone dude. Just needs fewer brokers and Chinese noodle joints.
7th avenue is making a comeback.
With the new Yogo Monster leading the way.
Open till 11pm people!!!
Wow, Park Slope is really shrugging off this housing slump. I guess it really may be one of the top 10 nabes in the US. The Mont. mansion probably needs 2ml of work!!!
“or did you think that every single area was going to tank because of the credit crisis?”
Is the credit crisis over? A March 08 snap shot is the worst of it? We don’t need to keep the cameras rolling?
Well it sure as heck wasn’t what it is now if a house could sell for $900,000 at 5th Ave and St. Marks in 2003.
As for p*ssy’s, those are the ones who are afraid to do any kind of risky investments. Those are the people who passed up buying a large brownstone in prime Park Slope for $200,000 back in the 80’s.
5th avenue and st. marks was not fringe in 2003.
not unless you are a total p*ssy.
Actually the open houses are full in the “fringe” areas, 12:13 and the houses are selling. Of course when the market gets nervous people are more nervous buying places in the more recently gentrifying neighborhoods. That’s utterly expected. Not everyone has $3 million to spend on a house. There are plenty people with a lot of money in NYC, but plenty people with plenty money who still can’t afford $3 million. By the way, it IS possible to love your neighborhood of Park Slope without being so mean and insulting all the other neighborhoods. Or at least people in other neighborhoods outside of Park Slope are capable of that.
As for the house that sold for $900K in 2003 and sold for more than twice that this year, remember 5th Ave used to be called “fringe” and “dangerous” even as recently as 2003. It was all about 7th Ave back then. But somebody took a chance investing in that house, like my husband did too back in 1997 when he bought a coop near 5th Ave. He made a lot of money selling it years later as well. To those who take the risk go the reward.
Where is that idiot the tWhat? He never posts when the FACTS don’t fit is stupid ideas of the Brownstone Brooklyn market.
Welcome to the neighborhood, 12:09. We are glad you joined us in the (one and only) Heights.
