397 Jefferson Goes Into Contract...Finally
We received word this week that 397 Jefferson Avenue, which was listed as an Open House Pick back in December at $699,000, has gone into contract. The price? $650,000. At the time, one reader had this to say about the house: “Needs major work. I viewed it last week. Sagging ceilings etc. Need architect, engineer…

We received word this week that 397 Jefferson Avenue, which was listed as an Open House Pick back in December at $699,000, has gone into contract. The price? $650,000. At the time, one reader had this to say about the house: “Needs major work. I viewed it last week. Sagging ceilings etc. Need architect, engineer and contractor.” Compared to what people are used to, five months to get a get deal is long time. GMAP

Yes, you’re right. My apologies everyone. Didn’t mean to take it there. No blood. Okay?
Brownbomber, I often agree with some of your opinions on this blog, but you sure do get worked up about some trivial stuff sometimes. I think people are poking fun at you for that.
If you look back at the posts, Brownbomber was the only one who actually mentioned Jefferson Ave….which was the original subject matter. So, how about 397 Jefferson? Anyone have anything to say about that?
Brown Bomber..
Is that your attempt to appear more intelligent than someone else? Is it not possible for someone else to have changed the subject? Someone other than YOU?
Get a grip. Now let’s hear your witty come-back.
To get back to the question about East of Stuy Bed Stuy.
There are some great blocks over here and McDonough bet Ralph & Howard is one of them.
The houses tend to be smaller than the historic district (3 floors instead of 4/5) 2 families. Blocks are very stable with generation of families.
I have an idea!
We should all get together in Bedstuy and march around with cameras pointing at Brownstones and make cash offers to old ladies on the street.
We’ll call ourselves the Brownstoner gang, but instead of crime, we’ll remake neighborhoods to our own liking and sell our houses within a few years . . . of course make millions . . . and then do the samething again in another hood.
LET’S Go! Last one to BedStuy is a rotten egg!
Oh for Pete’s sake, he meant “calm down,” not “call down”. An obvious typo. You should all calm down. The whole thread–digressions and all — was interesting. Why people get touchy so quickly is beyond me!
Huh? Was that english?
I didn’t change the topic. I simply responded to the first post by stating that this particular section of BS was a great area.
“What are people’s opinions of this part of Bed Stuy? Not trying to start a flame war, looking for info for a friend who’s house hunting in the area. Thanks. ”
Anonymous 6:44pm. You really got to work on getting that GED. Your reading and writing skills are quite suspect. You obviously did not read this thread.
“Call down brownbomber before your fedora pops off your head. Someone changed the topic, just like you did, that’s all.”
Huh?
Call down brownbomber before your fedora pops off your head. Someone changed the topic, just like you did, that’s all.
