Rest easy, Brooklyn homeowners: Your investment is more than safe after all.<\/p>\n

Despite a published report, prices for single-family homes across the borough are skyrocketing – as they are in other parts of the state – and not tanking, real-estate agents said.<\/p>\n

“The demand for Brooklyn is hotter than it’s ever been,” said John Reinhardt, president and CEO of Fillmore Real Estate, which has 20 offices across Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

. . .<\/p>\n

A report by the New York State Association of Realtors found that prices for single-family homes in Brooklyn dropped a whopping 29% between 2002 and 2004, from $332,000 to $235,000.<\/p>\n

The New York Post reported the decline and called Brooklyn’s supposed free fall “a notable – and unexplained exception” to the state’s thriving real estate market.<\/p>\n

But Realtors’ agency spokesman Salvatore Prividera said the Post report was misleading. He said he explained to a Post reporter the Brooklyn data was incomplete and gave an inaccurate portrayal of the borough’s housing market.<\/p>\n

The agency’s statistics were skewed because only 19 Brooklyn housing sales were reported to their organization in 2004, Prividera said.<\/p>\n

By comparison, 12,642 home sales were reported for Suffolk County.<\/p>\n

“We were disappointed that our explanation for the data – that we did report – was not adequately portrayed nor relayed to the [Post] readers,” Prividera said.<\/p>\n

Post spokesman Howard Rubenstein declined to comment.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
