45 Montgomery Sets 1-Family Record for Slope
It took some time (almost a year) and a sizeable price reduction (over $1 million) but 45 Montgomery Place has finally sold. The tip we got said that the price was somewhere north of $6 million (compared to the initial asking price of $7.5 million), though nothing has shown up yet in the public records….
It took some time (almost a year) and a sizeable price reduction (over $1 million) but 45 Montgomery Place has finally sold. The tip we got said that the price was somewhere north of $6 million (compared to the initial asking price of $7.5 million), though nothing has shown up yet in the public records. If this is the case, we’re pretty sure this sets a single family townhouse record for Park Slope, topping last year’s Safran Foer transaction. According to the post we wrote last November, the 31-footer at 45 Montgomery Place has over 7,000 square feet of space with oval rooms that have rounded doors and radiators, a grand center staircase, multiple original fireplaces. Yum.

Welcome to the neighborhood!
Would have been a great purchase back in ’99 or 2000.
Seven years from now (in 2013)when this house sells for$12MM, we’ll be talking about how we could have bought it for $6.05 MM back in 206.
ok – so looks like $6.050m.
I remember when this house was on the market in ’99 or 2000 for $3mm.
For more of us middle class folk…we bought this summer and knew we might play the game if we wait and perhaps would do even better..BUT we still feel that this is the best time to buy if you are buying the right thing for you. You don’t have to be rich to be smart. No bidding war, no high interest rates, no anxiety..Just long term gain.
Don’t count on it for selling at $6mil…. Wait for the public record..
The smart money knows WHAT to buy; when is always uncertain.
“I say it will sell for $4.475mm. Here’s my dollar for the pool.”

Notice this was a post from 2005…
You just lost your bet, 2:39 PM. And not to rub it in, but you were pretty damn far off the mark! In a bubble market to boot!
It just shows that amongst all of the turmoil that the rest of us are going through, the rich just keep plucking out the best assets. They’ll be laughing at us when it becomes obvious that they have a generational jewel.
The smart money knows when to buy!
