What the Heck Is Going On in Carroll Gardens?
This is getting weird. Despite a softening market all around, there’s been a rash of new listings in Carroll Gardens that have defied all logic and precedent. Starting with 44 1st Place (which in retrospect is probably the best deal of the lot) for $3,842,500, they’ve just kept coming: A 3,100-square-foot house at 78 3rd…

A 16-foot-wide one at 40 2nd Place for $2,800,000? And now a three-story house at 329 President Street for a $3,600,000? What is going on here? One common denominator: Corcoran is the listing agent on all these places except for 1st Place. Coincidence or conspiracy?

Actually most of the homes I see for sale now listed inside the PS. 321 boundaries are asking LESS than homes selling in Carroll Gardens right now.
So how does that prove your point, exactly??
Where is the 1 million premium you so fervently have stated? I’d like examples.
There’s no income tax due on money paid towards tuition, remember. Please calculate that as well, if you’re going to be fair about this.
6 years at $20,000 per year is still cheaper than the $500,000 to $1 million more it costs to purchase a house inside PS 321. Or the $300,000 to $500,000 more to buy a coop or condo inside PS 321. But sure, keep trying to convince yourself your risky jumbo mortgage was worth it.
Britney Spears will be worthless once AY is built.
People who talk up the What (even as a joke) and make him sound like he was SO wise are the same people who buy US weekly, fawning over all the idiot celebrities who are in and out of rehab every two minutes.
It’s SO American, and SO disgusting.
How about praising someone on here who actually makes some valid comments…
Like Rehab, or Montrose Morris, or Bob Marvin.
No, you’d rather talk incessantly about some ignoramus who was unable to form a sentence without a 4 letter word in it.
The What’s predictions were for the end of the world, as we know it.
Last I checked, that hasn’t happened.
Have any of you ACTUALLY felt any of the ramifications of the so called economic meltdown?? Or are you just playing into the hands of the media, per usual?
I sure haven’t felt anything yet. Just got a 10% raise last week and another week of vacation.
And someone left a note on my door yesterday asking to buy my house.
Again.
I think corcoran kidnapped The What and is torturing him by subjecting him to articles published by REBNY.
“Isn’t it odd that as soon as The What’s dire predictions came true he disappeared?”
When was that?
Maybe the Rapture happened, and of all the posters on this board, only the What was taken up to heaven.
“paying 25-30k after-tax dollars on tuition for 6 years”
Anyone who does this is an idiot, in my opinion.
