In the ’70s and ’80s at least there was a pioneer discount for buying in areas that were largely ungentrified. Now there’s no pioneer discount even for the pioneers, so what’s the point?
Actually just as many are still living in their houses, 10:25am. I know, because we have many of these people as are our neighbors. People who buy brownstones often stay in them for life. Also, the well-known new trend all over the country is for retirees to move into downtown metropolitan centers now. Florida and Hawaii are out of fashion. The elderly want to stay active, be near culture and things to do, AND have public transportation which is better for the aging.
Commute to Philly? I checked up last week on that! Amtrak monthly pass was going for a very reasonable $1058, I believe. Might be time for a prefrontal nip/tuck and a move to the Bronx or Queens.
I know the pioneers of these neighborhoods have sold out and are living
in Maui, Taos, Boulder, and everywhere else that was a buy eight years ago.
These Brooklyn nabes are over. No new nabes?
In the early 70’s smart folks bought in PS and Bo. Hill, when you could buy a TH
for less than twenty grand. What’s the point in paying such a premium now.
First off, the old vibe is gone. All
the interesting people moved long ago.
Who are these young, less than three
dimensional people who have moved in.
All they seem to do is talk about real estate.
P.S. or rather a house in suburbs costs $200,000 more after 10 years if you are in a high property tax county. My friend in Oceanside LI which is a nice town but hardly fancy, pays $18,000 per year in property taxes.
Yeah but don’t forget $15,000 to $20,000 annual property taxes for any nicer suburb of NYC in LI, NY State or CT. As opposed to $3,000 per year for a house in Brooklyn. Over a period of 10 years that means the house in the suburbs ends up costing $120,000 more and it doesn’t appreciate in value as rapidly. Just pointing out other factors to consider. Nothing wrong with moving to the suburbs of course. I crave more trees and green myself.
If you leave Brooklyn, houses are cheaper
and you get much more. I am talking boros, not suburbia. Suburbs are cheaper
and you have a garage for your car and the
kids can go to great schools. These houses will be on the market for years at
present prices.
That housing project isn’t any fun at night, transportation sucks, shopping not so good. Those trendy restaurants not so trendy. I mention that I like FG and Clinton HIll,but let’s be realistic.
I can buy the best loft in the West Village for less than two million. Are you sheep. Where’s the deal in living in
Brooklyn. Houses in FG were selling for
300K not so long ago. Now close to three
mill. No, I don’t believe any broker can
sell these properties, I don’t care what
fabrications are spoken
Imnotyourdaddy wow on the under 400K house in PA. Wonder what the surrounding houses look like. And if the commute to NY is feasible.
Man oh man. I feel sorry for anyone who buys these homes at their asking prices. Post AY, these homes will plummet in value.
