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.

150 Bond Price History [StreetEasy]
Lots of supply right now in Bucks County. A few near me have actually sold after being on the market for quite some time. Are they looking for a small house in a town, something historic with character, a new development or a “horse farm” with acreage????
West Philly, especially anywhere near the University has moved up rapidly but is stil value wrt Center City and DEFINITELY Brooklyn!!!. When I bought in 1999, there were some incredible values over there…dirt cheap but needing work. It’s a lot like Bed Stuy in many ways…higher crime and the real estate is a block-by-block situation but there are many pockets of nice well-kept blue collar areas smattered with faculty areas.
The biggest houses and the grandest in Philly are over that way.
Fair enough stevie, but there are other folks on here who discuss these issues with different points of view in a calm and reasoned way. You should be no less thankful for them than yuo are for miss muffett.
ha ha Dumbass. Like I said, you know nothing about me. Maybe if you investigate me some more, you’ll learn that I organize charities and non for-profit events for less fortunate all over the world but figures why you couldn’t even supplement your income as an investigator. Should I be calling Starbucks now to disconnect your internet connection? Better hurry up and go order another Chai Latte.
“We could all learn something from Miss Muffett.”
You certainly could. Your out-of-control ranting about admittedly legitimate issues only gives credence to the “wild man” image most people already have of many writers (I’m a writer myself). Bottom line, you come off as a nut case.
Dave, I am looking at houses in Bucks County next weekend. Cousin wants to buy a couple as sales in good districts are lookin really juicy now. I have to talk to you about West Philly when I see you next. A really good idea presented itself and I want to run it by you.
>>Making fun of immigrants is not nice either but you do it.
No, I only make fun of immigrants who don’t share the American value of charity and empathy towards the less fortunate. Maybe that is how things are in the country that you are from, but don’t bring it over here.
Learn to speak English while you are at it, Kenny boy! ROTFL!
I think it’s equally as much fun to make fun of foreigners as it is the homeless.
Now a homeless foreigner that’s in a whole different category……. ROTFLMMFAO
>>Which will it be for you, stevieb, calm reason or vitriol??
Slopefarm, guilty as charged. I don’t claim to be a voice of reason. And that is why I admire people like Miss Muffett and I am certainly learning from her every day.
LOL, I am making fun of you dumbass, not homeless in general. You know NOTHING about me so go play in traffic or something. Oh wait, isn’t your 1 hour login time in Starbucks about to expire?
Making fun of immigrants is not nice either but you do it. There is nothing wrong with coming to this country and making something of ones self.
You are the most obnoxious, ignorant, dumbass moron of a living creature I ever had a conversation with and trust me, I’ve met plenty. You seem to take it to another level. Congrats on that.
