forget upper west side,404. growing up in east new york,i had to walk around with eyes in the back of my head.that being said,i still miss the way things were in the early 90s.back when new york was new york,not the east caost version of san fran.thaks a lot bloomberg.
Clinton Hill house is nice but the price needs an adjustment.
only time i’ve been mugged in my 8 years in new york (most spent in brooklyn) was riverside drive and west 85th street.
upper west side, baby.
but maybe you were trying to use reverse psychology, 3:35?
sorry to put a dent in that, if you were…
a lot of u people need to be mugged at least once to get a taste of real life in BK.people from manhattan,yuppies,rich out of towners stay the hell out of BK ur not welcome.
no worries, 2:45.
we’ve got plenty of douchebags here already…
I didn’t look at any of this week’s picks. But I did see a few last week and so far there is nothing in Brooklyn (at current prices) that would make me leave Manhattan. Brooklyn is all hype!
My house is on the market FSBO. Studio in Park Slope. Bought it a little less than 2 years years ago for 239K.
I put it on the market on Thursday (3 days ago) and by yesterday evening had 3 bids, two of which were over asking price. We signed at 374K. I did zero work to the place in that time.
I’d say the market is still just fine. Fine enough for me, anyway.
Just recently bought a 1 bedroom around the corner…
10:45, have you never read this blog before? The debates about the state of the market are the exact same discussions every single day, every single week.
If you find it educational, read through the archives.
Meanwhile the rest of us who have already done our research with people who know what they are talking about and not with a bunch of anonymous sources on the internet, we want to talk about houses. Yes it’s valid to talk about whether a specific house on the list is worth the asking price or not. But people here are NOT talking about that, they are talking about the general state of the market over and over and over and over and over and over again. So boring.
4:47 – I know what you mean, but as has been pointed out before, the state of the NYC real estate market (and hence the economic profiles of potential buyers) is related to these houses. We can talk about the interiors/exteriors of these homes, but really, a giant question is whether they are *worth* the prices they are asking. I, as a potential buyer, know enough by now (I already own, so am not new to this), that many properties, * at the right price * can be attractive, but if they are too expensive, even a gorgeous brownstone may seem kind of absurd. Thus, price – including the state of the market – is very relevant. If a kind of crappy house is going to cost 1.5 mil, but needs 500K of work, then that house is not worth it. If it’s going to cost 1 mil, that’s a very different story since it gives me a lot more leeway to do the renovation. And no, this is not because I’m someone who looks at my home as an investment to be flipped – but the reality is that most New Yorkers, and most people in general, have the bulk of their assets tied up in their homes, so you do want to be sure that you are not purchasing something at a foolish price!
