Not even Brooklyn Heights, the bluest chip in the borough, is proving immune to the pressures of a weakening market. Exhibit 1: Three of the lower-priced houses on the market in the area have recently had to undergo price reductions in their bids to find buyers. The most surprising of these, in our opinion, is 72 Middagh, a 3,450-square-foot former school house with its own parking that recently underwent a pitch-perfect renovation. This one started out three months ago at $2,995,000 and was just cut to $2,895,000. The historic colonnade of 47 Willow Place was not enough to reel in a buyer at the initial asking price of $3,450,000, so after just five weeks, it too had its price trimmed to $3,200,000. These two cuts follow the unsuccessful efforts of a succession of brokers to unload the suburban-modern carriage house at 43 Love Lane. Brown Harris Stevens, Stribling and Halstead gave it a go for most of last year, starting at an original asking price of $3,500,000. Coldwell Banker took over in February at $2,995,000. With no better luck, they cut the asking price to $2,745,000 at the end of April. Where’s the bottom on this stuff?

  1. I understand what you’re saying 1:13, but I still don’t see how an “area” can be rude.

    I can see how people in an area might be rude, but calling a neighborhood rude is simply ignorant. No two ways around it. It’s like saying, I dislike (insert any race here).

  2. “Once you put down the pipe and look at the subway map, you will see that the N train doesn’t have to stop repeatedly in lower manhattan. It goes straight from Atlantic center to canal. That makes it faster than the A. Countless people know this and choose to live in north slope and also boerum hill/prospect heights which I also mentioned but you all choose to ignore.”

    Look at that map again. The A isn’t the only train stopping in BH

  3. He said why, 1:08!

    Try reading the WHOLE post.

    You might not agree with the guy but he totally said why he thought that. Dummy.

    Oh and by the way you are hilariously proving what he said, about Slopers being like a cult and needing to convince everyone PS is the best neighborhood on the planet. You didn’t even need to read the rest of the post, your eyes when right to the insult and you fixated on it and steam blew out your ears.
