Co-op of the Day: 62 Montague FSBO
We’ve got no idea whether they’ll get $1,000 a foot for it, but this 1,500-square-foot pad at 62 Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights should have no trouble attracting attention as an FSBO. The photos make the place feel very loft-like, a sense that’s enhanced by the clean wood floors and exposed brick; the master suite…
We’ve got no idea whether they’ll get $1,000 a foot for it, but this 1,500-square-foot pad at 62 Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights should have no trouble attracting attention as an FSBO. The photos make the place feel very loft-like, a sense that’s enhanced by the clean wood floors and exposed brick; the master suite is also huge. There are two real bedrooms plus an office that could handle a small child. So waddya think? Will they get $1,550,000 for it? There was an open house yesterday so maybe they already have.

This apartment has no closets.
There was an open house yesterday (I went) – I think the Times removes the open house flag automatically. It’s a really nice place, great roof deck (shared – I tried to wangle an invite for 4th of July) but it’s beyond my means.
The owner said he has an offer near ask but has declined to accept so far – said he’s willing to wait until late summer when he assumes the market/open house traffic will be best.
1:29, I would guess the 2nd bed is about 200 sq ft.
I think it was “by appointment”and not an open house unless they’ve changed ny times web ad. Not sure why you’d do that — a busy open house is a great motivater for buyers on the fence.
Think it’s a very pretty place. Could have used a stager perhaps to get this tip-top price. Think it will sell in the 1.2 neighborhood
Awfully pretty. Perfect for a high-rolling couple with a little rugrat at St. Ann’s. Can’t tell if that roof deck is shared or private, though.
nice and big and great location. wish they put sq ft in the floor plan (how bug is the second bedroom)
and yes, I think co-ops and brownstones can be comparable depending on how you figure your brownstones sq ft. take out the attic and basement and sure. a 3000 sq ft brownstone where this place is (foot of montague) would be way more than 2x this co-ops price

I agree with 1:09 if someone is willing to deal with the headache of showing a house, why shouldn’t they go FSBO in nyc. We have no MLS so the only advantage one has when using a broker is that they will deal with potential buyers. Personally i would host a few open houses if i knew it meant me saving that kind of money.
What does FSBO mean?
