72-berry-5-28.jpgCall it the little condo that could: Williamsburg success story Mason Fiske, aka 72 Berry Street, is now completely sold out, according to its broker. The converted industrial loft hit the market at the beginning of March, and 17 of its 26 units were in contract by early April. Units in the project were asking around $650 a foot on average, about $100 less than bigger projects in the neighborhood like Northside Piers, according to the Real Deal.

    Special Report on MBS “Black Wednesday:” Among The Worst Day Of Losses…. Ever….

    “Plain and Simple: this means that many fixed income accounts are selling debt that has a long maturity as economic prospects improve. Lower rate MBS is longer maturity (since mortgage holders are less likely to refi) and corresponds more to the “longer” end of the treasury curve (5-10 yrs) which also got crushed today.”

    “The U.S. delinquency rate jumped to a seasonally adjusted 9.12 percent and the share of loans entering foreclosure rose to 1.37 percent, the Mortgage Bankers Association said today. Both figures are the highest in records going back to 1972. Fixed rates rose to 4.91 percent, Freddie Mac said. New home sales fell 34 percent from April 2008, the Commerce Department said.”

    Higher delinquency rates, higher Mortgages…

  2. “I think this makes the point that price, not demand, is the problem. Places will sell if they are priced right.”

    I also think buildings like this (conversions) are of a higher quality then your average Karl Fisher miami beach style condo or NSP/Edge. I haven’t been in this building, but that’s my observation having been in another conversion, and a few apts at northside piers.

    Bedford Ave area is yuppie central now. Might be starting to rival Park Slope in terms of roaming stroller gangs.
