history does not always repeat.
that’s an asinine statement.
that assumes people don’t evolve.
while you don’t seem to be able to, 4:20, some of us do choose for a better life as time goes on.
you are a true idiot.
“given that there are about 10 houses on the market in all of park slope, we’d need a WHOLE lot more inventory to make prices come down.”
NO SHIT!
“you all do realize that before 2000, it was quite common to have 100-150 homes for sale in park slope at one time, right???”
NO SHIT! HISTORY ALWAYS REPEATS.
PEOPLE WILL FINALLY DECIPHER THIS PRICE APPRECIATION PYRAMID SCHEME, LOSE THEIR JOBS, GET DIVORCED, RELOCATE, ETC. PRICES WILL GET MURDERED. NO SHIT. (-20% MY ASS, TRY -50%)

Prior to 2001, I would say that on average, 90% of properties sold for under ask.
That’s why it’s called an asking price.
You are new to the real estate world??
4:12:
I bought 11 years ago for 700k in Park Slope. Last appraisal came in at 2.4 million.
I’ll be ok if prices drop a little bit.
Maybe I’ll buy a few less cases of POM juice this year, but I’ll survive.
You have noticed that – except in very rare cases – sales are going below ask? When sales happen, that is. Which is less and less and less.
Agree, 4:10. Anything remotely decent in Park Slope and priced wisely sells quickly.
Supply is extremely limited.
Even with all the economic news, people continue to buy 2 million dollar homes, despite the idiotic consensus by some on this blog.

More houses in 2000 yes, but also more potential buyers. there are fewer buyers at the current inflated prices and now fewer because many are sitting on the sidelines, others losing their jobs or fearing they might, others can’t get mortgages…Face it, this is the start of a buyer’s market in brooklyn. It may just take some time for sellers to figure that out and lower prices.
When I moved to Park Slope in 2004 there were always at least 20 houses on the market in Park Slope all the time at any given point because so many more people were selling, a lot of them oldtimers. There was a larger inventory all the time. 10 houses is a dinky list.
Fewer available houses mean prices stay up.
I’m in the arts and a life in the burbs would be a fate worse than death.
I was talking to someone in the burbs recently about classical music and she said…OH YEAH!!! I just saw a classical music concert…ART GARFUNKLE!!!
I almost laughed in her face.
