150 Bond Finally Sells—For a Loss

The sale of 150 Bond Street, which was a House of the Day a number of times, was recorded in public records yesterday. The price: $1,400,000. The property, which was pitched as a gutted blank slate that would allow its new owner to “build your dream house in Boerum Hill,” first hit the market asking $2,495,000 in March ’08. The price was cut several times until it was asking $1,595,000 this summer. The seller purchased it for $1,725,000 in September ’07. This one seems like it was a victim of unrealistic pricing from the get-go and a down market in which fixer-uppers are a tough sell.

I ditto what DH said. Why does it make you all feel so good to see someone suffer?
Kensigntonian?? Kensingtonian’s been talking up a bull market in townhouse shells?? Really?? For shame!!!!
Thanks for the gracious retreat, stevieb.
I think housing is overpriced and would like to see it come down to some level of normalcy – but I think it’s pretty dickish to take pleasure in someone else’s hardships – especially if what Wasder said about the owners is true.
that is such a good price. I was trying to get various friends (with big down payments in bank) to buy that place for a long time and they all seriously missed the boat.
Kensington, go FUCK yourself too! HAHAHA!
stevieB, go FUCK YOURSELF! I am actually rational and if you read long enough, I am neither a bull or a bear. Go suck on a doorknob or do something else useful for once. BTW, people in Ditmas Park or Kensington won’t accept your lousy ass here. I know, I’ve lived here for 18 years.

They all need to bear responsibility for promoting the real estate bubble that has hurt a lot of working families.
(i think almost everyone you listed IS part of a working family, or just working..)

What I want to know is why does Hannibal spell Hannibal as Hannible?
>>I’m glad they were slapped HARD.
Yeah, but they are not getting slapped hard enough, with Bernanke printing money like crazy and Tim Geither and Larry Summers stuffing the pockets of banks with trillions of our money.
All that liquidity and cash is putting a floor on housing prices and therefore rewarding the reckless and irresponsible by taking money from the prudent and savers.
Hannible and Gran Pa, please join in!
