i’m talking about aggregate trend data. does one of those sites chart average prices for prime brooklyn over time?
Miss Muffett the Mark zandi of brooklyn real estate. You know nothing. You will be moving out of Brooklyn any day now . Please come back to the blog when you buy your house in New Jersey. Hellooooooo Suburbia.
PropertyShark, Brownstoner, StreetEasy, Acris…
miss muffett, what’s your data source on historical sales prices for prime brooklyn?
Thanks Slopefarm – I agree with that, and I would consider areas like Park Slope one of those microclimates that peaked this past spring (and i disagree, I’m not just talking about how brokers were pricing my place but looking at all the sales over the last few years too).
when miss muffett wants to say what the peak was, that’s when we assess things based on how brokers are pricing things!
I don’t think you can pin a single date as the peak for brooklyn. Neighborhoods vary. South Slope away from the Park had a bunch of houses go for more than $1.5 mil barrier, including several frames. Nothing like that in 2006. There are definitely microclimates in Brooklyn as certain neighborhoods, or even corners of neighborhoods, reach a new level of visibility.
FatLenny – not in prime Blyn. I know because at different points in the last few years, we considered selling and had our place priced by brokers. It went up, up, up until this past spring and of course, it’s gone down since (again, per brokers). 2006 might be some statistical average “peak” for the US or NYC metro area, but not prime Bklyn – that peak was this spring.
well all I know is that there is a pretty awesome looking house on Berkeley listed in the open house thread thats 2.7 mil now.
