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.

yes I am.
“Holy Crap! Chatham Village in Pittsburgh! I’m originally from Pittsburgh and would never want to be compared to Chatham Village.”
No, you’re not.
To the idiots that are comparing Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Austin, Seattle and PARK SLOPE. Which of these things is not like the other??
This wasn’t a best CITY list. It’s a neighborhood list.
At least if you are going to critique it, don’t compare Park Slope to Austin. A NEIGHBORHOOD in Austin won. Not the city. Not Pittsburgh…a NEIGHBORHOOD in Pittsburgh.
Get it now??
Holy Crap! Chatham Village in Pittsburgh! I’m originally from Pittsburgh and would never want to be compared to Chatham Village.
I haven’t been following the saga regarding the What very closely; the posts became so annoying that I thought he or she was just using Brownstoner to therapize him or herself.
Can someone tell me just exactly how we know he or she is a broker from Lodi, NJ? How would anyone one this thread be able to find out information like this?
Guess the point I was trying to make went way above your head, 4:33.
I’m not the one who keeps waving around that list bragging about Park Slope. They aren’t bragging about being in NYC, are they? Nope. They feel superior to the rest of NYC. And they’re bragging about being on that list. Soooo…..we were just really taking a good hard look at that list and seeing how “prestigious” it is to be included with Pittsburgh. If you put yourself and this list out there so loudly then people will scrutinize it.
I think Austin and Seattle are fantastic place to live, actually. We just prefer NYC and can’t make a living outside NYC.
And every year there is another top ten list of best places in America so there are actually hundreds of best places in America. The funny thing is that every one in Brooklyn knows Park Slope for just one thing. How incredibly annoying it is.
Do people in Park Slope realize that there are famous people living all over Brooklyn. But most other neighborhoods have the decency to give their celebs some privacy and the confidence to not have to make lists of celebs to tout their neighborhoods.
Park Slumpers are nothing but real estate pumpers and celebrity humpers.
God just texted me and said Parkslope is heaven!
