I just came a cross another travesty in pricing although I still can’t quite believe my eyes. A new listing in Crown Heights North- 1230 Dean St. has been put on the market for-hold your hats- $1.65MM! Sure it’s a 25 footer but c’mon people. This neighborhood is nowhere near ready to support that price point. Corcoran brokers yet again insist on attempting to vastly inflate prices (perhaps in an effort to get the original listing by blowing smoke up the owner’s arse) in a neighborhood that, while on pace for nice change, is years away from drawing the folks with that kind of loot. At the end of the day, it winds up hurting the kind of positive progress needed to one day draw that kind of potential buyer because others will attempt to follow suit and houses will simply sit. Would you drop $1.65MM to live between Nostrand and New York??! Surely you jest! Somebody wake these folks from Corcoran up. It needs to stop now!
