The Biggest Sales of '08, So Far
These are the priciest residential sales in Brooklyn so far this year, per public records. The Heights dominated the first six months of the year, but the record-breaking One Main condo sale and the Connelly mansion closing will mean the Slope and Dumbo are near the top of the charts by the time we bid…

Biff…I knew you’d be happy the minute I saw these on here. But, alas, according to the What even BH folks will be inside this weekend with no money for food, gas, etc.
Still trying to figure out 12:53’s logic on how “Park Slope wins”
What: Is your financial ass getting kicked? No? Then you have no finances, which make you a piece of poor trash. Your days of running the hood are over. Get out before the cops come and arrest you again.
12:49 is a desperate broker behind on his sales. There was nothing stupid or even grammatically incorrect with the 12:45 posting. In fact, it has an unusual ring of truth as opposed to propaganda.
12:53, I think I’ll take #1 with the $650,000 below ask and additional $2.7 million.
12:49#2, that’s right and even with those price chops, these were STILL the year’s two biggest sales. How sweet indeed. And I’m guessing the sellers of both numbers 1 and 2 still made quite a nice profit on the sale.
these must be typos. i keep on reading here that the market is tanking.
and this list doesn’t even include the two 7+ mill joints that are currently in contract this year.
looks like i picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.
25 houses in brownstone brooklyn? rriiigghhttt. there are way more than that in park slope alone. then add in BH, FG, ClH, CoH, BoH, PLG, CrH, BedStuy. i just ran a search in nytimes for houses in all those hoods. i got over 600 hits (200 in PS). good try though. without searching each page, let’s assume 50% are brownstones (but it’s probably much higher than that). so at least 300 right now. problem is, these baby boomers who bought for a song in the 70s and 80s got greedy and wanted to time the top. well, they just missed it. but what do they care? they can still dump it at 20% less than they wanted and be sitting pretty. expect inventory to only grow from here and prices to plummet.
#5, 400K over ask.
Park Slope wins!!
#1 = $650,000 price chop
#2 = $450,000 price chop
How sweet it is.
