Two houses on Dean Street had their asking prices reduced in the last few days. The two-family house with a storefront at 190 Dean Street hit the market in February (when it was a House of the Day) with a price tag of $1,600,000 and was reduced to $1,495,000 this week. Meanwhile, the two-family at 425 Dean Street, that was an Open House Pick in October at $1,425,000 before getting pulled off the market, has been re-listed at $1,275,000 and is having an open house on Sunday from 2:30 to 4. Thoughts?

  1. Also, what does the price reduction bode for the (almost shell) house down the block at the corner of Bergen and Bond? Also a 3 story with 3 car garage corner lot, but no commercial. I think it was asking 1.7 a few weeks ago.

  2. Boerum Hill — 190 Dean is landmarked, so I don’t think a play at selling the garage to a developer could work.

    Has anyone actually visited and toured inside?

  3. Hey Christopher don’t ya think you are being a little too optimistic with the pricing here. Of course $1m will be an excellent deal but this place is still listed @ half a million more.
    The price reductions here are basically minimal at this point and will need another 15 to 20% reduction for it to be significant…well at least to most buyers in this market.

  4. no doubt $1M would be juicy but we’ll have to wait for owner to slice another 33% off on price. somehow, I’m guess seller wont slice it that much or wait is a yr

  5. Re 190…

    I think 3 family conforming limit is about $700k right now.
    (and yes, it is 3 family residential, the ground level is no longer zoned commercial).

    If you can put 10% down, have good credit, extra cash in the bank, and a solid job, you might be able to get away with $200k liquid and close to $800k in financing (conforming limit plus extra for personal income and garage income).

    At $1 mil it is pretty enticing (either as owner occupied or strictly as investment)
