150-bond-11-09.jpgThe 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.

  1. Not sure if I want to venture into this arguement but at the end of the day the seller got 1.4 million for a shell. I don’t know about you but that is still a lot of money.

    It’s virtualy impossible to get rehab money these days. You options are FHA 203k (which I no longer offer because they are just too damn work and have all types of problems) and Hard Money at 14% with 4 points at least.

    Cash is king in the rehab business these days.
