Jebby,
Congrats on the purchase fellow neighbor!
And I see we work in similar businesses as well!
Proof that not ALL homes in NYC are bought by Wall Streeters! Us music biz people can do it too! (Although my place is probably the size of your master bedroom, I love it all the same!).
Jebby….i suspect that one you were talking about that you made the 1.925 MM offer is still on the market.
Mopar, I should add that my offer above was turned down. Sorry for missing my point. This was not the house I got but one of my three turn downs. I could add that a house in Prospect Hgts was sold before I could make my offer. Brooklyn will survive!!
“The fact that that particular property just sold for over a million in this market is reflective of confidence in the neighborhood.”
The fact that ONE property sold is indicative of confidence in a market?
Uh…Ok.
Greenpoint is fine.
“Currently the DOW is trading where it was ELEVEN years ago.”
And had I bought a house 11 years ago, I’d have 19 years left before I had paid it off and had ZERO house payments. Said it before and I’ll say it again, you can’t live in the Stock Market.
Some of us would like to pay for our housing now so that when we’re 70, we aren’t flopping around from rental to rental paying 5K a month for a studio in the Bronx on a fixed income.
Mopar, I can tell you that I offered 1.925M on a house in the slope listed at 2.195 and had that price since November 1st, 2008. My offer was cash and the owners had already moved. I’m sure that in ’06 it would have been at 2.4M.
I got actual sales still occuring, moron.
Please Mr. Obama, give me a downpayment. I’m entitled to it.
Yes, that’s all well and good bodega boy but you still have to be able to pay the mortgage.
Cool by me … If Brooklyn prices drop 50%, I won’t have to buy in Bed Stuy. I’ll be able to afford a Park Slope co-op, no problem.
Greenpoint is neither a “margin” nor “semi-marginal” neighborhood!! Dosteov – you gotta get out more.
Greenpoint has always been a very stable neighborhood. Even during boom time, turnover of existing homes was very low. The fact that that particular property just sold for over a million in this market is reflective of confidence in the neighborhood.
