Record-Setting Bed Stuy Condo for Sale Again

The Bed Stuy condo that set a record for the neighborhood when it cracked the $1,000,000 mark and sold for $1,040,000 in 2013 is back on the market and asking $1,450,000.

At the time, commenters on Curbed proclaimed the over $1 million sale to be evidence of a bubble.

The owners of 105 Lexington Avenue, Unit 4G, a photographer and photo agent who moved to Bed Stuy from the Lower East Side when their children left home, decorated with flea market finds and souvenirs of their travels. They transformed the look of the kitchen by removing some cabinet doors and painting the cabinets white, but otherwise did little in the way of renovation.

Earlier this year, one of them told us, “I like to redo spaces and move. I’m always checking the real estate section. If I found something, I would pounce on it. We could move in six months or five years. I would really love to own a carriage house, or a loft. The hunting and gathering is so much fun for me — once you’re done, you’re done.”

Now they’re relocating to Charleston, S.C. The 1,648-square-foot apartment last sold for approximately $631 per square foot and the new ask is about $880 a square foot. What do you think this apartment’s history says about the market?
