You’re wrong about the rowhouses on Carroll Street and for that matter the houses in that neck of the woods in Crown Heights. Many of the houses were zoned as two families circa 1961, although they continued their original use as one family homes.
As many Brownstoners know, just because your CofO says 2 doesn’t mean you use it as such. The homes are lovely and were the seat of the Black middle class in Crown Heights in the 1960s and 1970s. The homes are lovely. This section of Crown Heights. You will have many Lubavitcher neighbors in the vicinity in comparison to a similar block in Crown Heights North (eg. Dean Street between Brooklyn and New York.)
I have to agree with the chicken. When the prices adjust by 50%, we’ll start to see some action. I’ve seen the housing prices double and triple here in Crown Hts over the last 5 years. Anybody that thinks this run up in Brooklyn was not part of the bubble generated by unsustainable govt policy and business practices should go take some finance, econ and common sense classes. In CA, plenty of people thought things were different b/c they have international buyers, great weather, strong economy, limited supply, etc., etc. The run up in crown hts had plenty of input from flippers, liar loans, subprime loans, negative amort loans, etc. FYI, look at 1269 Carroll, it looks similar and sold for 875K in Jan 08, before the Wall St. meltdown. Most of the world understands that prices are falling. Some dreamers seem to think prices will rise another 20% this year????
hmmmmm……guess I’m going to have to wait a bit longer then….
I like that new log in name What.
What are you people smoking in Brooklyn? They must have legalized crack. Do you really think any of those shacks are worth over a million dollars? I guess you don’t notice that the entire financial system is melting down. That must just be an inconvenient “detail”. The lending machine that made you fools all think you had million dollar houses has been shattered. But keep dreaming those dreams of some fool funding your retirements and fantasies. I just hope that people quit buying into this nonsense before it’s too late.
If you want to buy just wait for The Big Crash. He’s on his way and he’s pi$$ed.
“Ooh, I love a rounded front.” I hope you also like a bloody rear. That is what is coming to the whole “Brooklyn is different” crowd.
well not that low chicken…but its a motivated seller
out of curiosity, does anyone know about the crown heights houses from June 27, 2008?
859 St. Marks Avenue
MMM Management
1265 Dean Street
Corcoran
I thought both were beautiful but overpriced at the time (because I listened to the what).
I’d love to buy 859 St. Marks. I can lounge in a smoking jacket and sleep in a stocking cap.
The Clinton Hill house is lovely BUT no powder room on the parlor floor and no closets — how do you actually live like that?
Hey DIBS, are you serious? Like 50-60% lower serious?
That’s the kind of level where I’d start putting my offers in at but figured that I’d be rejected out of hand currently and would have to wait another year or so before I wouldn’t.
