The Brooklyn Real Estate market in 2009 was a year that most if not all brokers, agents and realtors are glad is behind us.
As a broker for 22 years selling Brooklyn Real Estate in many Brooklyn neighborhoods, I’ve seen in the last year that few Brooklyn neighborhoods saw any price increases in property values.

For most Brooklyn neighborhoods, since we have been in a downward trend price wise, for the last 3-4 years prices remain at the lowest level since last real estate boom.

While the 2010 Brooklyn Real Estate Market is expected to bring an improvement in sales volume, meaning, there will be more people selling and buying properties, I do not foresee an increase in property values yet and commercial property sales will still be slowed. Most mixed use and commercial properties will be difficult to sell in this overly cautious lending environment and slow business forecasts. (Read the article)

The neighborhoods of Sheepshead Bay, Brighton Beach, Coney Island, Sea Gate and Manhattan Beach are all located right on or are surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean.

According to Jeff Grandis, a lifelong resident of Brooklyn and a Brooklyn Real Estate Broker ” For a truly relaxing,fun,historic,interesting and delicious experience every New Yorker or tourist should visit these Brooklyn neighborhoods.”

Sheepshead Bay is the New York version of Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco. Sheepshead Bay has both fishing and party boats depart from the piers going out to sea morning and night. Restaurants, clubs,shops and expensive condominiums abound.

Brighton Beach is the mecca of Russian culture in Brooklyn. Brighton Beach Avenue is a wonderland of specialty food markets, cafes, nightclubs and restaurants. The boardwalk stretches for several miles along the beaches of Brighton Beach and Coney Island ending at Sea Gate, Brooklyn’s oldest gated community.

Coney Island is at least for now still the home some great old amusement park rides that are a wonderful slice of Brooklyn history, i.e. The Cyclone and The Wonder Wheel. (Read the article)
