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 don’t think this guy will get even close to full price. I live around the corner, and I know how difficult parking is, but I don’t think a three-car garage justfies an added $1m onto the price. Personally, if it were me, I’d rather have the yard and a one car garage.
I also don’t know why these brokers continue to price properties while all doped up on Meth. If they did some comps, they’d see that a house of this size is $1.4 mil (max) right now.
I see more drops for this one because it was priced about $1 million too high from the onset.

Really? Kenny, really?
i watched this thing fall apart from down the street for over a year– all of this is projection, but the guy who seemed to be acting as the contractor also seemed to be the seller. they worked on that thing forever, and i was shocked when it listed as a shell. i can’t imagine how much money he put into it, since workers were there every day for months. that said, if the buyer has to put in minimal work (i.e. install kitchen & bathrooms, finish walls, etc–say $200k or less of work), it seems like a reasonable deal for this block.
Hey dumbass, MM is actually supporting mine, wasders and slopefarms point of view and not yours.
Oh trust me, DIBS, I can be plenty emotional about this topic! (kind of like singing in the shower though – keep it pretty private). There is much that is awful about the topic in NYC, and I think that’s really because there seems to be a bigger problem of a widening gap between haves and have nots, and also between haves and have mores. I am very conscious of my good fortune to at least be in the haves column, but feel a combination of anger that the have nots are so excluded, and horror that the have mores seem to be getting ever more and more (bank bonuses anyone?) while things are harder for all the rest. In other words, I can’t really complain on a personal level, but I do feel a real indignation at some of these underlying economic forces. OK, off my soapbox now and back to work…
Tell me about it Dave! Muffy drop an F bomb won’t ya?
