That Waverly house boggles the mind. As much as I love Clinton Hill, that is a really tiny house. Makes my house look like a good deal for sure.

Ohhh Looky here. Muffet Looks like another touchdown. Muffett do you realize everytime a house sells close to asking you are losing money? I love it. Hope you have a good accountant

Sebb, new math? The Waverly went over ask but the one in contract went for a 10% discount to ask.

waverly was a sweet house for the money. low cost to run, a rental to boot. cheaper than a 3-bedroom condo. and not really all *that* tiny. do you need bedrooms bigger than 12x16? not everything is about psf.

Posted by: Ringo at January 9, 2009 12:57 PM

Yeh, not everyone is looking for a gigantic place. The Waverly house would be perfect for my wife and I. Master bed on top, two offices below, kitchen and living, plus a rental to help with the mortgage. Awesome. Out of our price range, but if the interior's in nice shape, I'm not highly surprised that it sold for 1.3mm.

why is sebb such an asshole?

Posted by: Santa at January 9, 2009 1:04 PM

Santa: why am I an asshole because you are a vulture bottom feeder? Because you don't know how to make money so you try to feed off others? Get lost

Posted by: sebb at January 9, 2009 1:10 PM

cwb--there is a house on Open House Picks you should check out.

Ringo---everything is definitely not about sqf but that house is really narrow. My house was a good bit larger and cheaper than this one in a similar kind of location.

Good question Santa, Why so much hate?

Posted by: WorkInProgress at January 9, 2009 1:20 PM

I think the lesson learned between today and yesterday is that Clinton Hill is the best place to buy! Real estate values are rock solid in the nabe!

Posted by: TD at January 9, 2009 1:34 PM

TD--as much as I wish that were true, me thinks some snark has entered the conversation.

Posted by: wasder at January 9, 2009 1:37 PM

You rang?

Posted by: SnarkSlope at January 9, 2009 2:03 PM

Thank you, finally some levity!

Posted by: DeLepp at January 9, 2009 2:06 PM

I wish it were true too...
The snark is only semi-serious

Posted by: TD at January 9, 2009 2:14 PM

sebb is on the naughty list fo sho.

Posted by: Santa at January 9, 2009 2:43 PM

also sebb

isnt the whole idea of making money the ability to feed off of others. I cant think of any way to make alot money without seriously fucking over people.

maddoff!

Posted by: Santa at January 9, 2009 2:47 PM

Santa: I have to say that if you make money from fcking people over it will come back to Haunt you in time. Believe me that is no way to get ahead.

Posted by: sebb at January 9, 2009 3:07 PM

Who CARES about the discount to ask? All that matters is actual selling price compared to actual selling price of comperable properties. Duh.

Who CARES about the discount to ask? All that matters is actual selling price compared to actual selling price of comparable properties. Duh.

Mr. B - what happened to listing the contract and dead recording dates? This is very useful info so hope you'll continue. Alas, Sebb, one house close or even over ask does not a better market make. Keep dreaming.

Meanwhile, the 1st Street owner can join you - he's definitely on something strong to think he can get anywhere near that price. A house the same size on that block recently had to drop its price from 1.75 to 1.6 and as far I know is still not sold. Plus, it has nicer detail than this one, which has a cheesy reno.

Posted by: Miss Muffett at January 9, 2009 3:19 PM

Mopar, did you read his post? Sebb brought up "ask", that is what I was responding to. This not not 2005-2007 when every sale price was 10% above ask.

Posted by: DeLepp at January 9, 2009 3:24 PM

we just broke support on the sp 500 next level to test is 857. If this holds it would be good if not than we are going down to 818 and if that breaks say hello to 750.

Posted by: HOBOKENROCKS at January 9, 2009 3:55 PM

Hey All you A holes, Union street is in contract, you jerks who thought it was overpriced and would not sell last month when it was HOTD can eat crow. You losers. YOU know nothing.

I thought there was an "open thread" for you all to bitch backnforth on?

Nice find, theandrewlee. Love the ad: "You are spared the expense of major demo work, which has already been done."
