In the Spotlight

Ideal Properties real estate group has released its first analysis of buyers in brownstone Brooklyn. The report looks at the first quarter of 2014, and finds that buyers are often men who make more than $300,000 and are upgrading their living quarters, and already owned property in Brooklyn that they sold in order to move on up.

Folks that make more than $300,000 a year are now 30 percent of the buying market in brownstone Brooklyn, a figure that’s tripled in a year, the report says.
