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…

Our little Brooklyn…you’ve come a long way!!!
great rant.
as for the initial post re most expensive sales, it would be great to see what the most reasonable sales for 2008 have been.
Hey what,
Like I said yesterday, you might want to go waterskiing or go to the park or walk across one of our lovely bridges or go camping in the adirondacks or…
we’re all gonna be dust someday, dude. please go away and get a life.
The credit for the State Street house picture say “52 State” whereas the listing is for 82 State. Do you have the wrong picture? I think you might because the pictured house sure doesn’t look 26′ 0″ wide to me.
I wonder! Would these people but their house today? In this economic climate? Time will tell.
BTW The bad news is coming in hot and heavy. The Asshats are running out of ammunition and the Zombies are still coming! I bet very soon you will see some of the ticking Nuclear bombs go off..
Now for your reading pleasure and to back up my arguments.
U.S. Loses 62,000 Jobs, Jobless Rate Holds at 5.5%
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=ayCPTqWBm128&refer=home
“Job losses, along with record gasoline prices and tumbling home values, make it more likely consumer spending will falter once the lift from federal tax rebates fades. A weakening labor market may also prompt Federal Reserve policy makers to put off their first interest-rate increase since 2006.”
See Asshats you be a “Poser” all you want to. The economic conditions of America is fucked! Plus this last 6 months of the Bush Regime is going to be brutal. The Asshats that brought these house are going to lose them…
Now rap your mind around this. Remember I said that you should check your 401K, Money Market, Retirement and other investments. Wall Street is a bunch if Fucking crooks! You are worried about the guy on the street stealing your gates when these guys been ass-raping you. Yeah Wall Street will save NY, Bullshit!
The Other Real Estate Disaster

Your state’s employee pension fund is probably (a) doing badly with recent real estate pools and (b) working very hard with the private equity operators of these pools to keep you in the dark.
In the dark! Doing whatever they want…
The What
Someday this war is going end..
what’s interesting about the highest end is that they bring up all of bklyn’s average sales price, right?
How many houses have sold for more than $2m — 10? 20?
It would be even more interesting to know what is going on in the real market. $6m trophy properties act differently from $2m places that attorneys and Opera managers with 300k joint incomes might be able to buy with a little luck and/or help from the bubble or rich parents.
It would be interesting to see how this compares with last year, especially given the attention given to the housing market crash.
Did you guys publish the top sales for ’07?
