3:34 Nailed it.
I live in PH and I hear stories from some of the old timers about the racism they encountered in the late 50’s when it was mostly white owners in Prospect Heights. After MLK’s death and the riots on washington ave… white citzens ran from brooklyn at a super fast rate selling brownstones for what would seem like chump change today for brand new Mc Mansions.
Agreed 3:36, Westchester is nice. And Dutchess County. Lovely. But the property taxes are too high for us there unless we went further north and that would be too far to go. We’re freelancers in the arts and it’s better for us to pay low property taxes on our house even if there is the extra city tax on income here, because we don’t make the same income every year. Property taxes don’t get lower just because your income does. I’m sure that’s true for a lot of arts and media people living in Brooklyn.
As for LI and NJ, never never.
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.
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???
“If enough people decide now is the time to sit on the sidelines, the prices will have to come down – no way around that one at all.”
BINGO…BULL’S EYE…TOUCHDOWN…AND ONE…GRAND SLAM…BOOYAH…
I (at 3:33) wasn’t talking about White Plains. I was talking about a ‘rural’ area in Weschester, which has also been doing very well. Almost all of my brother’s friends are people who left the city in the last 5 to 10 years in order have land and privacy and to live somewhere with woods and scenic beauty. They all seem to love it there and I’ve never heard any of them say they miss the city. I know that my brother loves it. It isn’t for me, but there are loads of people who want a house with a few acres of land in the woods. Again, you are making absurdly broad generalizations.
What is being redeveloped at Christ Scientist church? What do you mean? Is it going to be torn down?
“I think that prices always go up in the end.”

“all of flatbush from 6th to grand army is about to redeveloped in a major way.”
And who will lend the developers money right now?
Oh right.
Nobody.
Dang.
3:38….
that christian scientist church is being redeveloped. not good in the short run, but once restoration hardware or something of that nature moves in, sterling at 3 million will seem like a bargain.
all of flatbush from 6th to grand army is about to redeveloped in a major way.
very upscale stuff is planned.
