2:52 they are frentic sounding from being bitter about buying at the peak 2005-2007. Most of the bagholders thought real estate could only go one way and that they were going to be the Donald Trump of Brooklyn. They paid any price and used leverage and they are about to have an epiphany!

Corcoran, web ID# 1095011. It went fast.
“I don’t think things will crash hard, but I do think sellers have to be more negotiable ”
So basically you mean things will go back to normal…?
what house on Bergen street? which realtor?
Well, I’m in the market for a townhouse (and no, not a bitter renter, trading up from a family sized apt) and would not pay these prices. Most people in my situation – well qualified buyers who are not in a huge rush – are adopting a “wait and see” attitude. Other friends of mine who just bought a PS townhouse for in the 1.4’s (yes, there are some) are having trouble selling their apartment since they too find many buyers are nervous to commit in this market. I have noticed a palpable shift in just the last few months. I don’t think things will crash hard, but I do think sellers have to be more negotiable – are becoming so since several brokers I’ve talked to have hinted to me that they would accept offers significantly lower than ask – and I’m talking several 100K, not just 50K.
Prices in NYC are at historic highs and yet recent statistics point to stagnation at best, softening a good probability. I get the sense on this list that there are a bunch of owners/brokers who vociferously deny that such a thing is possible and I wonder why they are so frantic sounding.
Nokilissa…I could not agree with you MORE.
We have completely taken CG out of the running for us for the very same reasons you mention.
There was a time when CG was cheaper than PS, in which case it made sense to look there.
Now that it’s no longer cheaper, I can not for the life of me figure out why people would choose that over PS with the park, amazing new shops and restaurants opening every week on 5th and 7th, better schools and MUCH more beautiful architecture in PS.
People love to rag on the slope stroller moms, but I’m counting a LOT of kids’ rooms in that carroll gardens house– 3 rooms? maybe as many as 4 beds? Is it even legal to have 4 kids anymore? Come on, people, overpopulation is a global problem! Let’s keep it to 2…
2:44 thanks….there’s no real structural problem with this market for decent Brooklyn brownstones.
If it’s a good property and priced correctly it’s going to sell
2:40,
4th Street is in contract and Bergen accepted an offer this week.
