Park Slope sits somewhat pretty
The brownstone market is a disaster. Park Slope, like the rest of New York City, is in a downward death spiral. Three years ago people were paying insane prices for garbage properties — yes those well kept brownstones are all really lipstick on a pig. That has completely changed; buyers now are looking for a better built house, they are looking for places that will need no work and consume little energy. Read between the lines: Buyers for the first time in 10 years are thinking about their carrying costs and long-term survival. They want products that 1. Are severely discounted or 2. Have a value added because they will be low or no maintenance for the next 10 to 20 years. If you want to do your clients a favor, tell them the truth.
