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.

please don’t feed it.
“I’m a renter who has a million+ bucks in the bank”
If you had taken even 500K of that in 2001 and bought a 1 or 2 bedroom somewhere, you would have tripled your money.
Like most of us here did.
So thanks for playin, but you lose.
I’ve got a 3 million brownstone AND a million bucks in the bank.
12:38 – what exactly do you mean by the “Element” comment in your post:
“I agree about the north slope. But you guys have to admit that Carroll Gardens is really nice. I was on 7th ave in the slope the other day and Let me tell you there was a lot of the Element walking up and down there right around let’s say 3pm. I dont see that in Carroll Gardens/ Cobble hill. But then again they are all for that right?”
I’m a renter who has a million+ bucks in the bank, precisely because I didn’t throw away 30% of it on a down payment in the last couple of years, like all you owners have been counseling me to do. And my money is real, not notional. It’s not locked up in a single asset. I don’t need anybody else to be willing to spend $2 million on an overpriced house for me to get it.
Maggie goes to Ozzie’s.
Nice try though.
I just saw Maggie Gyllenhaal reading a copy of the WSJ at Gorilla Coffee, sobbing uncontrollably.
While all you owners are sitting on sinking ships, I’ve been buying GOLD and am now worth 8 gazillion dollars. Plus I have four wives, five Maybachs and a putting green in my sauna. All while I’m renting in your Brownstone, you cockturd! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHHAAAAAHHAHHBHBBBIEOWJOJSODIDVJDSOIFJSDOFIJSDOJ VBBBBBBWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!
“yes most of them are investment bankers with piles of cash. oh shit……”
Funny, because whenever the conversation is about Park Slope, people say NO ONE on wall street would ever consider living there.
According to you, Greenwich is the only place that will be in trouble.
Which is it? The story changes on your mood or mood enhancing drugs.
