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…

“If you are correct and the economy takes a depression level swan dive into a black abyss-
what pleasure would you take in this?”
People would get their financial asses kicked. The Asshats, Smug-fucks, Carlton Sheets wannabe’s, Junior House-flip Assheads and other Dumbasses that I forgot.
Prices will comedown thru DEFLATION i.e. Food, Energy, Housing and other means of life.
The Asshats will give us our city back. The out of town Douchebags that have jacked prices in the hood!
America need it’s ass kicked! This will bring equilibrium back!

Someday this war is gonna end…
I’m not a broker and I no longer believe the party line parroted by all brokers that inventory is at “historic lows”. That’s baloney.
I personally know several families who have been trying to sell their houses for months and months with no success. Maybe they are being greedy and asking too much, but that’s the way the game is played in NY. There is plenty of inventory, maybe not as much as back during the last crash 15 years ago, but maybe we’re slowly creeping back to that number. Looks like it to me. I’m just an impartial observer I neither wish to sell or buy.
#1 = Brooklyn Heights
#2 = Brooklyn Heights
#3 = Brooklyn Heights
Biggest sales of the YEAR so far. How sweet it is.
To The What,
If you are correct and the economy takes a depression level swan dive into a black abyss-
what pleasure would you take in this?
Pls explain.
Pls do not go for the easy explanations of ” the asshats will have their deserved come-uppance”
This really sad! America and NYC is going to hell but we get attacks on The What! From Asshats that got their heads you their asses. No one is paying attention to the economic conditions around us. Just greed and stupidity abound!
While you are out this weekend pay attention on your surroundings. Notice people will not be going out, barbecuing, going out and other things. WHY?! People don’t have the money these days. Inflation is killing everything. The Airlines, Travel (High fucking Gas prices) and Food (Yes Food)!
So go on, have fun because when this thing implodes, The What will be wearing MC Hammer pants and dancing on Grand & Putnam.

“The number of houses on the market seems to be swelling. I have never seen so many houses for sale in Brooklyn Heights, Fort greene, and Park Slope. They’re not selling. What gives? Summertime lull? Only time will tell. The inventory is definitely on the rise though.”
How long have you lived in Brooklyn….6 months?
The inventory in Brownstone Brooklyn is at a historic low. 15 years ago, I remember there being 250 brownstones on the market at any given time. Now there are about 25.
The number of houses on the market seems to be swelling. I have never seen so many houses for sale in Brooklyn Heights, Fort greene, and Park Slope. They’re not selling. What gives? Summertime lull? Only time will tell. The inventory is definitely on the rise though.
The What is actually a pretty funny guy. I love the “flower child” bit.
The strange thing is some of you seem to be threatened by his extremist doomsday predicitons. That’s pretty sad.
