everyone waiting for the market to collapse are the ones that are lame. thats what i thought would happen in the early 90’s too- and it didn’t. so don’t be dissapointed when all you get is the 5-10% reduction and then in 5-10 years it starts going up even more. there’s a lot of money to be made in this city if you set your mind to it. and then you can live in something you own too.
Yea, that guy who bought this house in 94 was a real moron. Im sure the poster living in his parents basement made equally wise investment choices while having a lovely home to spend the last 13 years.
Whose to say if the most recent buyer is making a wise move financially but I suspect its not his/her only motivation. Some people actually buy a home to live in. And this block is totally picturesque so I can see why a premium would be paid.
living where you grew up is…
laaaammmmeeeeeeee
“The market” is a relative term…one very smart people and one irrational idiot deemed it worth the price…there’s an important difference.
I’m waiting for the market to collapse too. I shudder at the thought of a Bay Ridge studio being the only thing I can afford and still live in the borough I grew up in.
“There is no way in hell this house was worth $500,000 in ’94 or the price that some moron paid now.”
If someone paid $500,000 in ’94 and 1.3 mil in 2007.
Hasn’t the market deemed it worth the price?
“I’m not being snobby, just realistic, in saying if you can’t afford to move out of your parent’s house you wouldn’t be able to afford this house even at its 1994 price of $500,000.”

Yes, you are being snobby.
There is no way in hell this house was worth $500,000 in ’94 or the price that some moron paid now.
You’re right. It’s pretty dumb. I was just bored.
3:00 swings and misses.
And in one corner we have a born and bred Windsor Terrace home girl …… in the other – 3 type-A Park Slope moms. They are scheduled to square off in the Third Street playground sandpit. Oh right- it’s raining. Maybe that’s why the moms are blogging instead of verbally abusing some nanny. Oh, homegirl, have you considered becoming a full-time caregiver? That would get you out of your parents and into the home of a Park Slope type-A mom. Perfect!
