“Uh-oh, now he’s played the Frownstoner card. I would wave the white flag now, but it’s so gray and threadbare from wiping all these half-empty glasses…”
Ooo, clever quip within clever quip. High level quipping here.
trying to make sense of this whole thing and need help. 31 joralemon (in brooklyn heights) closed on 12/7 accdg to property shark for 1.075 (372/sq ft). It needed a full reno but that’s a long way from st. marks….
rob, it’s spelled “biatch” or “beoch.”

re: the St Mark house. it is between 3rd and 4th avenue and for those who don’t know the neighborhood really well…this block has large houses (this one is 60′ deep) but few or almost none are single or 2 family. It seems a dark and dreary block but may have picked up in recent years. Certainly has potential but far behind surrounding area in renovations and ‘gentrification’ and buildings have always seemed a bargain to nearby blocks of ParkSlope and BoerumHill.

i have a second job AND enough money for a downpayment. i just prefer to not overpay. before the expansion of credit, many of these places were selling for less than half of what they go for now. i think they will continue to come down. and i’m happy about that. so, not sure where the frown comes in…
“Personally I think they need to get a 2nd job”
lol.

“Or do we each just pick a side and call the other side names?”
Excellent point NSR. On this site, for some reason, those who feel prices have bottomed or are going up have hope for the future whereas anyone who thinks prices are going down further (whether catastrophe or not….there is really only one doomsday poster left here for God’s sake) are evil pessimists.
The largest sales and the 6 months later threads are interesting, but both paint a very different and incomplete picture. They are both interesting to comment on and make snarky comments, but neither are worth cheerleading over. Also, not sure how a flat Case-Schiller with huge government real estate backstop really tells us much one way or the other.
