may be a silly question but why did it take 1 and 3 so long to close after contract? Is that normal?
There are people of all ethnicities who managed to cushion themselves. I thankfully was one of them. Timing of course was everything but many in the community have taken a hard hit as they had their money with Madoff which is forcing many in the community to shift their lifestyles . I know a couple of families who are wondering how they will pay for their childrens tuition at Yeshiva. Many Jewish charitable organizations took a hit because of Bernie. Many of these groups do of course cater to Jewish interests but many are big supporters of the arts and charities that help people regardless of religious/ethnic affiliation. Charities througout the city are feeling the pinch.
guess mr b took down propjoe’s hitler comments….
The Fort greene house is lovely. Someone fell in love with it and had to have it. The X factor that some people forget to factor into the real estate equation.
benson, agreed. It does look better constructed than most of the other condos in the neighborhood.
That Fort Greene house is droolworthy.
How about the Ft Greene house going for more than asking and going from 965K in 2002 to 1.895M today. Doesn’t sound like the end of Brooklyn to me. A house a couple of doors down from me in the slope had a signed contract within 2 weeks of going on market.
Looks like the Orthodox are the only ones with big bucks to spend lately… Wonder how they have cushioned themselves from this recession?
I pass by that new condo development at 1189 Ocean Parkway about once or twice a week. It appears to be nicely done. It is probably not done to the taste of most Brownstoners, but it is a nice building.
