Bidding War at 538 16th Street?
The wind hasn’t gone completely out of Brooklyn market’s sails, at least if one house in Windsor Terrace is any guide. According to a tipster, 25 families came to see the 1,800-square-foot house at 538 16th Street this weekend and six of them ended up making offers—at or above the $999,999 asking price. Granted this…
The wind hasn’t gone completely out of Brooklyn market’s sails, at least if one house in Windsor Terrace is any guide. According to a tipster, 25 families came to see the 1,800-square-foot house at 538 16th Street this weekend and six of them ended up making offers—at or above the $999,999 asking price. Granted this price seems low to start with for a house with some charm just a block from Prospect Park but, then again, it also looks to be in need of some updating. So what do you think: An aberration or a sign that the pessimists have it all wrong?

Thank you, 6:07. I hope I make you proud in the posts and threads to come.
You work fast 5:55 (nee 3:52 from TJ thread). Well done!
Don’t you people have jobs?
I guess you are all rents. What a bunch of ShitTwits!
thank you for adding to the thread, 5:35.
Yes, I totally agree, WT is only full of racist archie bunker type grandmothers who have a nightmare commute and ugly homes. I wish everyone felt that way about WT – maybe then I wouldn’t be bumping with a bunch of other people on the F train clutching their Conn. Muffin lattes.
There is no point in argueing the value of one area over another. Its completely pointless. If you don’t like the area, don’t live here.
Why do people take it as their personal mission to insult the neighborhoods that are not their own? Get a hobby.
do or die
bed stuy!!

didn’t you hear? in brownstoner world, black people aren’t capable of being racist.
it’s because white people walk around and “do something” to provoke them.
I made a similar post about being harassed in crown heights and was lambasted for being an “asshole”
The market will speak for itself, my friends. What we all think doesn’t really matter much when there are 6 bidders trying to get the place. For those who seem unfailingly committed to opine on the merits of their own neighborhoods, I am happy for you. I would be even happier if you stayed put. WT does not need Billyburgers, stroller parades, or pseudo-hipster hangouts for validation. I have lived in WT (in a Calder house) for almost 40 years, and quite frankly most of you have no idea what you are talking about.
4:55 – I did not “defend” those people. I find your story dubious because I know the atmosphere in Bed Stuy. I don’t live there, but live close enough (Crown Heights) that I do walk in the area from time to time, sometimes with my white friends (I’m black). And my last sentence is meant to mean exactly what it says – maybe it has something to do with you. I’m not saying that what those people supposedly said to you and your girl was “right.” It’s obviously wrong for anyone to use racial slurs to anyone else, regardless of respective race. But I find it hard to believe that this was a frequent occurrence for you in Bed Stuy. Hell, I don’t even know if you are being honest (I’m skeptical).
5:05 – Yesah, that’s true. Women who pass by a corner with bums hanging out there qwill likely be harrassed. That sucks. But those people obviusoly don’t represent the totality of Bed Stuy. But hey, go ahead and pull out your nine and bang away. You’re in NYC. If you are going to shoot everyone who makes stupid comments to you, you’re going to kill a lot of people.
