It was a long haul, but the beautiful free-standing house at 1094 Park Place in Crown Heights finally sold earlier this month. After coming to market with Corcoran with a price tag of $1,395,000 in October 2007, the price dropped to $1,199,000 in july 2008; Elliman picked up the listing in September and jacked the ask back up to $1,345,000. In May, after a torrid negotiation process (detailed last week in this Forum post), the house went into contract in mid-May in an all cash deal for $960,000. The buyers who got edged out at the last minute have put up a gazillion interior photos on Flickr that should not be missed by anyone with a thing for old houses.

International Demand for U.S. Assets Slowed in April (Update3)
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aXBARzduh3uY
June 15 (Bloomberg) — International purchases of American financial assets grew more slowly in April as China, Japan and Russia pared demand for Treasuries, underscoring the danger of U.S. reliance on foreigners to finance its fiscal deficit.
Chinese, Brazilian and Russian officials have expressed an interest in developing an alternative to the dollar as the world’s main reserve currency, in part citing the record American budget gap.
Read this! Government spending will get killed! Federal, State and Local will have less money to spend on Cops, Firemen and other essential services. New Your is going back to the good ole days. I wonder how long before the ‘tards give up, ROTFLMMFAO
Buh Bye Retards thanks for the Good Times, we had a blast!

“New York City, too, once the capital of finance, is now saddled with Wall Street-induced unemployment and homes that are completely unaffordable for most of the region’s residents. The NAHB’s Housing Opportunity Index reports that only 14% of homes in the New York-White Plains-Wayne area are affordable on the area’s median income–by far the least affordable region measured by NAHB.”
Whatchugot for me, What?
“How many tents could you put in that yard????”
LMMFAO! The banks will have no choice but to count this as income during modifications.
***Bid half off peak comps***
MM that is indeed very worrisome. This is a classic that needs to be preserved and there appears to be something fishy about that buyer @ least on Property Shark. It is amazing how slow the landmarking process can be stateside…vraiment dommage ma chere.
“shalom Nagel?
Montrosse, maybe it is time to worry.
I doubt this is within walking distance of a good Orthodox shul.”
It is actually within wallking distance of a bunch of good shuls. Remember 770 Eastern Parkway is the street address of the central headquarters of the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic movement in the US. This house is a mere four and a half blocks away. That having been said, as far as I know only a handful of hasidic families live on the northern side of EP and most of them live on the Parkway itself, and not deeper into the area. But, this is exactly the type of house large Hassidic families are looking for, so its not entirely out of the question that a hasidic family would purchase this property.
I love that staircase.
I love Brooklyn so much, I want to see it destroyed. I hope my mom stays current on her taxes or her (my) house could be bought out from under me.
MM, didn’t you know? BHO is a “home price activist.”
BHO, you mistake me for someone who is obsessed with the prices and sale of properties. That is most definitely not me. I am concerned with historic preservation, first and foremost, followed by neighborhoods, and the people who inhabit them, so I am more than interested that a place like this is lived in and preserved, not torn down.
Sam, I am hardly a well known name down there, even my real name, but they are aware of the situation.
“Anyway, what kind of serious buyer changes their mind about Crown Heights and decides to move to Connecticut.”
That’s what I was thinking. They whined about “losing” it painstakingly detailed the house’s faults, and then were like, “That’s OK we found something totally different in another state.” Glad they posted the pictures, though.
