The most expensive borough home sold in the third quarter was in Long Island City at 42-62 Hunter St. The 1,764-square-foot house sold for nearly $3 million in September. 

Coming in at number two on the list is a $2.85 million single-family home in Whitestone at 16 Point Cres. which sold in August, followed by a $2.5 million two-family home in Astoria at 32-19 Broadway which sold in July. 

A Forest Hills home at 74 Ascan Ave tied with the Astoria home for third, also closing for $2.5 million along with a Little Neck home located at 252-42 Brattle Ave. which closed for the same price.

Altogether five Forest Hills homes closed for a combined total of $11.2 million and five Long Island City residences closed for a combined total of nearly $12 million in the third quarter.

Yes, the pic is showing a LIC disaster but whoever bought it will either rent the thing out at absurd prices that yuppies will pay or maybe they think they can flip it at a higher rate to some developer since they keep putting up more and more hideous stuff over there. Nobody in their right mind would actually pay 3 mil to live there.
