From Bloomberg:
Brooklyn Home Sales Soar as Buyers Flee Manhattan Price Hype
Home buyers in Brooklyn competed for a record-low number of listings in the fourth quarter, driving up prices in the New York borough that’s historically been seen as a refuge from Manhattan’s high costs.
Purchases in Brooklyn rose 22 percent from a year earlier to 2,582, while the median price of those deals climbed 15 percent to a record $750,000, according to a report Thursday by appraiser Miller Samuel Inc. and brokerage Douglas Elliman Real Estate. The number of homes for sale at the end of December tumbled 31 percent to 2,232, the fewest since the firms started keeping the data in 2008.
The sales market in Brooklyn, the city’s most populous borough, is moving in the opposite direction to Manhattan’s, where rising supply is offering buyers more choices and the option to walk away from listings they view as overpriced. Manhattan’s median home price dropped 8.7 percent in the fourth quarter to $1.05 million as sellers awakened to a slowdown after years of holding out for all they could get, the firms said last week.
“You have a disconnect with sellers in Manhattan, and Brooklyn is poaching some of that demand,” Jonathan Miller, president of Miller Samuel, said in an interview. “Overall, it’s generally a lower price point, and affordability has been a big issue the last couple of years.”
Buyers seeking lower-priced properties also turned to Queens, where deals climbed 14 percent in the fourth quarter from a year earlier to 3,917, Miller Samuel and Douglas Elliman said Thursday. The median price of those purchases rose 6 percent to $498,000, the second-highest in records dating back to 2003.
With listings in Queens plummeting 22 percent, few sellers needed to accept discounts. An average of 0.7 percent was whittled off the asking price in the quarter, compared with 2 percent a year earlier, the firms said. The absorption rate, or the amount of time it would take to sell all the listed properties at the current pace of deals, was 2.8 months, the fastest in 11 years.
…
“In the outer boroughs, the sentiment remains that there’s a lot more upside, that there’s still gas in the tank” for prices to rise, Miller said.
Good Morning New Jersey
It isn’t much cheaper over here. No where to run.
Cali….also expensive……shrug. I think I have decided that any ‘desirable’ metro area along the overpopulated coasts with a huge underclass to support…..is expensive.
Essex,
Aren’t you originally from like, Fargo or something? You can move back there.
Eddie I’ve lived in 6 states. Some interesting places. All withvpeckerwoods just like you. So you see you sir are at home wherever you may roam.

Bingo! Doesn’t even matter if they have an underclass to support….all that matters is if its desirable. Someone please prove me wrong, show me one desirable area that is cheap.

How crazy has the reaction to Trump’s impending presidency gotten? So crazy that Democratic operatives are scared of plumbers, and I don’t mean the Watergate kind.
No, really. Ned Resnikoff, a “senior editor” at the liberal website ThinkProgress, wrote on Facebook that he’d called a plumber to fix a clogged drain. The plumber showed up, did the job and left, but Resnikoff was left shaken, though with a functioning drain. Wrote Resnikoff, “He was a perfectly nice guy and a consummate professional. But he was also a middle-aged white man with a Southern accent who seemed unperturbed by this week’s news.”
This created fear: “While I had him in the apartment, I couldn’t stop thinking about whether he had voted for Trump, whether he knew my last name is Jewish, and how that knowledge might change the interaction we were having inside my own home.”
When it was all over, Resnikoff reported that he was “rattled” at the thought that a Trump supporter might have been in his home. “I couldn’t shake the sense of potential danger.”

Irvington, East Orange, South Amboy, Piscataway, Elizabeth, Hillside, Plainfield, Bound Brook, Passaic, Paterson, Dover, Wharton, Mine Hill, Parsippany, Rockaway are all located squarely within the most desirable metro area on the east coast (since you’ve predefined “desirable” to mean part of a metro area where a lot of people plop down their cash for real estate). All are cheap as chips. Heck, you can usually find a few houses in Denville in decent shape, just small, under $200k and they’ve got 2 effing Starbucks and a gourmet supermarket.
BTW, Irvington has a fancy hipster reclaimed lumber yard– they even sell hoodies– and Paterson a 10,000 square foot mid century antiques showroom so don’t give me any sh!t about the towns above not counting. There is nothing more desirable to millenials than displacing people of color from their lead infused hovels.
Bingo! Doesn’t even matter if they have an underclass to support….all that matters is if its desirable. Someone please prove me wrong, show me one desirable area that is cheap.

Darn, I just took down Pumpkin and my comment is awaiting moderation. For what I have no idea.

From what I have seen most of the wealthy Jewish people down here at the shore are Trump supporters.
If only the plumber had been a black trannie, or perhaps an illegal alien of latino persuasion, Ned Resnikoff would have felt much more safe and reassured that his drain was getting unplugged without an aura of hateful thoughts. Then he could also show the plumber his My Little Pony collection.
Took me down on what?

Best line from article……
“Shoelaces came tied in little knotsies.”
Ned Resnikoff is a f$cking pu$$y. It’s not his completely irrational fear that ticks me off here, rather it is his raging narcissism. What snowflake Ned doesn’t realize is that this plumber isn’t giving this pansy a second thought. The plumber could care less about his religion. The plumber is only concerned with how little this scaredy-cat knows about the job at hand so he can extract maximum payment.

You are taking a potshot at something so key to the betterment of human lives and the advancement of science….smh
No I’m not, I’m taking a potshot the act of trying to sell a product for 10 times what it costs in Canada.
Ben those Canadian pills are just placebos.
Heres a great pharma job in NJ. It might suit a few here.
Position Summary: Responsible for all aspects of Process Development, Process Validation, Cleaning Validation and Equipment Qualification for topical and suppository products at the NJ facility. “
Even the medications from Mexico aren’t placebos. Drugs are more expensive in the US than any other country. Drugs do not have to be infinitely expensive for science to advance. Regulation should be rolled back because in order to get a drug approved in the US, you need to spend a few billion dollars. Once they do, the anti-capitalistic shenanigans that occur at all levels of the industry are unacceptable and the pharma companies are to blame for that.
Are we great yet Gary!

Fab what does Wal-Mart closing stores have to do with trump or Clinton if she won?

If Trump is going to claim credit for all these job creations, then he can own the losses as well.
Control of House and Senate, a conservate Supreme Court pick, I expect this country to be a unicorm sh1tiing skittles, within 4 years. He’s going to make America great again, I want to know the moment we get there.
Anytime a Wal-Mart closes, it’s a win for America
it’s me, gary. i’m an anarchist, not the follower of a narcissistic, fat cheeto slipping into dementia.
i’m the guy from that day at jersey wine & spirits who encouraged you to work the gubmint cheese grift for all it’s worth. i still do…but i think you and i have both been able to improve our lot in life since that day and have no real need to advocate for anyone to rip at the teat of mother gubmint.
however, the rational reaction to an innocuous chicago machine politics hack isn’t to fall in line behind a raving orange shitgibbon who throws his own feces and behaves as though he’s some sort of vi@gra-addled manchurian candidate. there is some proper role for the federal gubmint to weigh in on the large issues of the day (such as: is universal healthcare a human right, or a fungible commodity subject only to market forces?), and drumpf will have the effect of distorting, and ultimately suppressing, the national conversation we need to be having on a host of issues that have implications far beyond the net effect of any number of bomma policy reversals or the sum of any tangible results of another trillion dollar infrastructure boondoggle that ends in bridges to nowhere.

“Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.” Kurt Vonnegut
