Houses of the Day: Head-to-Head in The Slope
When 590 2nd Street (right) hit the market three months ago for $3,200,000, we thought it had a pretty good shot at finding a buyer. Apparently not, as the price was just cut to $2,995,000. This, coincidentally, is the same asking price as a new Brown Harris Stevens listings in The Slope, 130 Lincoln Place…

This, coincidentally, is the same asking price as a new Brown Harris Stevens listings in The Slope, 130 Lincoln Place (left). Both houses are two-family, four-story brownstones, though the 2nd Street house is slightly larger, according to PropertyShark. It also gets the benefit of the doubt when it comes to interiors since the Lincoln Place listing is lacking in the photo department. Which do you think has a better chance of selling at this price?

House of the Day: 590 2nd Street [Brownstoner]
Amazing. 2 full days since this house was featured on Brownstoner, and 4 full days since house was listed and still not one photograph. If I were the owners, I’d immediately slash her commission by 80%. I’m a prospective buyer, and I don’t waste time going to open houses if there aren’t any photos up before that day. Many people use the listing photos to screen out their options. This is really pathetic.
wow 11:28. shows how insane NY RE has gotten in a very short time. you only needed 34k for 20% down on that place and got over 900% appreciation in 10 years. also helps you see why that isn`t going to happen in the next 10.
How does Libby Ryan get all these listings? I’ve looked at a number of her listings over the last few years and she is sooo nasty to people. She all but sneers at you. Why do sellers like her so much? If I had a house to sell, I would want to give the listing to someone who was pleasant, easy to deal with, and didn’t turn off totally qualified buyers with her snobby attitude.
good luck in your search and PS brooklyn is a great choice dont listen to the haters! I went to a private school in the area. PS 321 was not in my zone and the school had issues.

No pics yet for Lincoln Place. Disgraceful.
Yes, although we had to put maybe 50K into it to update the bathroom and kitchen.
I’d say the going rate then was about 250K for a 2 bedroom in that area, but we got a deal on a place that needed some fixing up.
Some people forget that anyone who owned property in New York prior to 2001 and held onto it have made hundreds of thousands of dollars (on paper). When you realize that, it makes it easier to see why homes sell for 3 million.
We never would have guessed that 11 years later, our place would be worth this much.
holy moly a 2 bedroom went for 170K in 1997? you did luck out! congrats
600K couple here….we bought a 2 bedroom in the East Village in 1997 for 170K.
We expect it will sell for about 1.6 million. We are not far from Union Square so yes…we lucked out bigtime.
What houses?
