Overpricing Not Working in Carroll Gardens

“What the heck is going on in Carroll Gardens?” we asked back in January. Our question was prompted by a rash of ridiculously priced townhouses in the area. Well, since then, three out of the four houses we looked at that day woke up to reality and one is still clinging to its delusions of grandeur. 329 President has since been reduced by $605,000 and 78 3rd Place by $795,000; 44 1st Place, the nicest and biggest of the batch, appears to be off the market.

I’m the one of those who identified The What for being a white broker from the burbs, and I don’t mind hearing what people from Jersey have to say about brownstones. Why not? The problem was he always posed as a Brooklyn broker and real estate expert claiming he was the better person because he had a registered name blah blah. When in reality nothing he said about himself was true and he had a major personal, self-serving agenda in everything he said, trying to drive people to the suburbs. Creepy.
i see they recycle emails as well.
Well Ok, it’s rated top 10 neighborhood in the country by the American Planning Association. It’s not a magazine though, it’s a very prestigious organization. VERY prestigious.
And was voted one of the top 10 most eco-friendly neighborhoods in a separate award.
Park Slope recycles more than any neighborhood in NYC.
Cmon just say it: it’s one of the 10 best neighborhoods in the US as voted by Rinky-Dink Magazine.
Park Slope is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in New York, and dare I say, the United States.
Prices there will hold steady.
Parkslope is doper than crack.
The tWhat = ghetto ass punk bitch from Lodi NJ. tWhat a fucknuckle
This thread was supposed to be about how overvalued and overpriced Carroll Gardens is. Until some people, obviously CG residents or brokers for these houses, managed to turn the thread into a debate about buy vs. rent so we would stop talking about how ridiculous CG prices are.
Buy what you can afford and plan to live there long enough to be worth it. Otherwise rent, which is not a terrible thing to do if you are saving money instead of spending it. Not enough people who rent have a substantial savings. And you can’t do both – not buy and not save. Okay got it? Simple. Debate done.
As for Carroll Gardens which is the true topic of this thread, $3 million for a 2-story plus garden level is retarded. That’s more expensive than Park Slope and please set aside the crack pipe, there is no comparison between the two neighborhoods. I don’t live in Park Slope so it’s not out of self-interest that I say that. I say that because I’m not a clueless idiot.
3:45…They didn’t say Brooklyn. Not once.
They mentioned Las Vegas and Miami.
If you think those two have anything in common with Brooklyn, you are even more moronic than I thought.
They also said 1/4th of homes by the end of all this will have depreciated to the point of oweing more than your house is worth.
So you think that out of that 1/4th of the u.s. that that means the greatest city in the u.s.??
I don’t think so. I think it means la, miami, shitlanta and tampa.
