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?

“there are other places to play frisbee.”
like in the patches of “grass” surrounding the Louis Armstrong Houses?
“why wouldn’t someone want a brand new condo”
Try that line on Curbed and you might get a more favorable response.
this thread is definitely about real estate alternatives for the same amount of money.
anyone who thinks you don’t need a minimum of $300K for fix this loser up is sorely mistaken.
so, let’s say this POS effectively costs $1.2 million.
why can’t we talk about the alternatives in a closer and more amenity filled neighborhoods? why wouldn’t someone want a brand new condo, no work needed to need to live somewhere else while pouring money into this pit and paying it’s mortgage.
even if you get your precious house renovated, you will still be stuck in snoresville WT. it’s not good there. it’s awful and a long taxi ride or painful F ride away.
there are other places to play frisbee.
How on earth do you know Joey Scunzool? He be a good cat but drinks too much.
Been to Bed Stuy many times. Would you like me to pull up the crime stats for there and WT for you, 2:44?
I’m happy to…
This site has become a site for people who hate brooklyn houses. Maybe the BKLN houses would get some love on the Garden City Blog.
2:42 has never been to Bed-Stuy.
2:38 – Please don’t tell these people they can get more in Bed-Stuy. I live there and like it. Please don’t ruin it for me.
This house is such a bargain!
2:38:
You are INCREDIBLY naive.
You REALLY think the only difference between Windsor Terrace and Bed Stuy is white faces vs. black??!
You can’t be serious.
Bed Stuy has and continues to be one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in New York City. It also has one of the highest poverty rates in the city.
Are you REALLY that ignorant??
