Co-op of the Day: Delusional in Windsor Terrace

I think this the the same apartment that has been sitting on the brooklyn properties website for about a year. Clearly the seller thinks that if it keeps switching brokers eventually one of them will sell the apartment despite the crazy price. It is also a sponsor sale so the seller may not be in a hurry - who knows maybe some idiot will come along and take it off his/her hand.

That is the most hideous apartment I have ever seen with a price tag exceeding a million dollars.

"The apartment needs a gut renovation but this space is ideal in every sense of the word."

I think the broker needs a new dictionary.

Yes, I agree,
the Re-run comparison is a stretch and reeks of racism-tinged hating.

This is an open listing sold by the sponsor, so many people have had the listing.

Some brokers will promise any ridiculous price to the seller just to get a listing that will waste more time and reputation than the benefits they are seeking from having a million dollar listing. So pathetic!

For that price I would rather be on the other side of the park (Museum side)if I could afford it.....
This listing is a similar size and a lot less:

but it still looks like it could use some upgrading

This apartment will fetch $900k at best!

This sponsor sounds like something of greed-stricken moron!

that is why this listing is with this company and obviously "stupid" broker. notice how it is not with one of the "big boys"? no, "real" broker would list this apartment at that price no matter what the sponsor wants. you could get that entire house in ditmas park for 400K less! you could then put in a new kitchen, new baths etc etc.

this broker, hopefully, has a day job!

1.3 M for a fruggly black, bright yellow and rose colored bathroom. I want some of what they are smoking. And I want that optimistic person to write my job review and determine my bonus level. If they over inflate the worth of that craptastic place, just can't wait to see how much bonus they think I should get. ;)

I agree. People can critique a property (and this property does deserve a harsh critique) without being nasty and mean spirited which is simply immature and bitter. That said, critique is really helpful for all potential sellers and buyers, to see the "do's" and "dont's".

the owner doesn't lose anything by keeping it on until it sells. He has owned this and many other apartments for years. He will sit on this price until the market comes back up.

Even after the market recovers, $1.3 million is high. I just have to compare it to the same size condo on a prime Park Slope block, total gut renovation everything brand new, inside a brownstone building on a beautiful brownstone block, for $1.15 million I saw a couple months ago. This one just doesn't make sense.
