Good numbers for team bull. Congratulations.
Pigeon,
For all you know, that 1.1 million dollar brownstone was a shell. We have no idea.
And the home seekers don’t seem to be on this one, because the overwhelming evidence on this particular thread and the general real estate news in general these days is that the BEST time to buy was the first 6 months of 2009 when the market crashed in NYC about 20-30% in the span of a couple months after Lehman collapsed. Since then, prices really haven’t slipped much more.
I’m all for the home seekers refuting with actual facts, but their typical rants aren’t really going to convince me when two weeks in a row we have j condos selling for OVER their 2007 prices and a home here or there now getting bids over asking and selling almost as soon as they hit the market.
I’m certainly never correct, but in this thread, it certainly is the home seekers who don’t have much to go on this time around. All is not rosy and there will be other busts, but the simple fact that armageddon never came to Brooklyn means the “cheerleaders” won on this one.
Anyone else notice that murders in NYC are on track for a historic low?
How is that possible when the What told me that crime rises in a recession.
I’m glad he was wrong.

Which is precisely why your cheerleading is as easily dismissed as BHO’s commentary from the other extreme.
So, is ~$500/sq. ft. a good deal for the buyer or seller on that Carroll Gardens place?
Would rental on those 4 units be over 10k/mo?
The duplex at 392 must be for sale again or maybe it is the one on the other side of the building? It has been listed about two weeks or so. Anyway, it is listed at 1.75. I thought I remembered seeing the listing this summer for much less. The photos are the same.

Looks like the Market is on fire. Carroll gardens and Cobble hill are hot areas right now.
Sure, Joe. Some are nice. But they are also most likely overpriced, were taken off the market or have issues.
Most houses in our area which are priced correctly, do in fact sell.
The homeowner cheerleaders are online today in full force.
Where are the home-seekers to counteract all the hooting and hollering and to talk about the 1.1M brownstone sale?
I don’t see how one can compare the 6 months later thread to the largest sales thread.

Plenty of nice houses left unsold from open houses 6 months later threads.
