rents never skyrocket, they are very stable and increase only very slowly each year, look at the stats. housing prices, on the other hand, are all over the place. Do you really think a brownstone is worth 2 million bucks? thats how much it costs sure, but is it worth that?
1:37 I agree If people don’t think these Homes will sell Then they should start looking in New Jersey Or Better yet try North Carolina , I hear it’s got a Lot of Culture Like Wal Mart and Many Big Lot stores you guys can Pick up Paintings in. Folks this Is The financial Capital of the World In a good Economy Or bad.
5:40,
A reasoned rebuttal:
I appreciate your perspective on how expensive house prices are in the city, however there is a major flaw in your reasoning. You assume that everyone should be able to afford a brownstone. they can’t and shouldn’t expect to,in our capitalist society. Brownstones are a sort of commodity as far as housing stock, subject to supply and demand. What we all should assume as Americans is that we have the opportunity to own our own home, which more americans do than at any other time in history. A simple glance through Friday’s Daily News will reveal that low and behold, there are houses and condos for all price ranges, albeit not necessarily in Brooklyn Heights. There are hot selling condos in East New York, there are waterfront multifamily homes for under 600K in the Rockaways, there are affordable subsidized housing units throughout the city built under developer tax abatements. There are 300k houses in Canarsie, Brooklyn, there are 200K condos in many parts of Queens and the list goes on. I never assumed I had a right to own a nice townhouse in Brooklyn, I simply took the chance on buying a run down brownstone with good bones that was cheap at the time because it was next to a crack house. Unlike many whiners who like to post here because they would rather take the fast track to the good life, whatever that means, by demanding wealth redistribution and citing class warfare. Opportunity is still there, the day that’s gone, sign me up for the revolution.
Look at this post I found on bitterrenter.com ….
Rents will skyrocket in the next year as landlords pass on all the increases in fuel and maintenance costs to their tennants leaving the owners – who were smart enough and had the balls to buy – no worse off despite rising costs.
Glad you waited to see prices decline?

“Karen Heyman, senior vice president of Sotheby’s International Realty’s Downtown Office, told The Real Deal that two West Coast men working in the financial industry bought the Clock Tower penthouse.”
Jerri Blank and…?
That Fort Greene house is handsome. Why do wooden houses always seem more bright and airy than brownstones?
Guido Funeral Home is on the other side of CG
Agreed, perfect name
6:08 is a whack job.
I LOVE Prospect Heights!
