2:34, I’m curious, why do you think the CG house is in a “very good” location? We have all but discounted CG from our search because it does NOT appear to be a good location at all.
Not much in the way of shopping or great restaurants and cafes, no interesting multicultural vibe, no beautiful parks, a fairly long commute into the City, the Gowanus canal close by, stretches of industrial stuff, not much in the way of subways…
Are we missing something?
This is intended in good faith btw. I hope no offense is taken, but we genuinely don’t get the CG thing. Can someone who loves it enlighten us?
Ardor has a listing for a $750K house in Fort Greene — 3 family, looks small, one can assume their definition of Fort Greene may be somewhat creative… but still. I think it’s on Vanderbilt.
The houses this week seem like a bargain compared to other stuff I’ve seen lately. I’ll definitely be going to a few of these open houses.
Someone mentioned the 4th Street and Bergen Street houses…we wanted to see those also. You are sure they sold!!??
That was SO FAST!
Yeah…I’d like to see how those stairs all work out for shared entry on the Ft Greene house. Otherwise I love it…even with the yard so small…that’s all you need, and the deck to boot.
I have to admit I’m more into earlier 1750-1850 style houses than my own 1905 brownstone.
Getting back to the houses themselves — I think the CG house is the best of the bunch, and I’m one who usually thinks the CG houses are way overpriced. Not that this isn’t still high, but not as overpriced as the others. The Prospect Heights house is narrower and the Clinton Hill is very narrow. Ft. Greene has a strange layout.
The drawback to the Sackett St. house is that it’s zoned for a very undesirable elementary school (houses a block closer to Court are in a zone that people want to live in.) But the location is otherwise very good.
Manhattan 1.6 million people: 7,000 units on market
Las Vegas 1.2 million people: 150,000 units on market
Phoenix 1.7 million people: 300,000 units on market
Miami 800,000 people: 200,000 units on market
ouch!!!!!! and i thought i was a bit too caustic sometimes 2:24
to the first retard 2:06 if you think Manhattan inventory was 28,000 in pre 2001 it may not be PC to call you a retard anymore.
to 2:14 had you gone to college you would have been able to read the word Manhattan ahead of the word inventory and been able to realize that is not the whole city. Somebody did not to do very well on reading comp. on the SAT’s now did we?

Yes, I have also noticed that some houses have sold, depsite high prices and scary times. Anyone know for how much these places ending up going for?
