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?

It’s just not ugly, it’s fugly
1:19 is the broker, David Rogers for that piece of shit on State street.
You are defending him, why??
1:29 is the same person.
The issue is not whether or not someone wants to do that, 1:25. The issue is that MORE than a FEW someone’s want to do that, yet people on here are still talking sh*t.
It’s all nonsense.
If it’s such a hideous house, then there are 6 people who happen to love this hideous house enough to pay more than the sellers were asking for it.
The rest of you can shut your pie holes.
What 1:19 PM said.
Why all the snarkiness in this chain and on this site? You might like it, you might not, but this is an entry price point in a neighborhood that is pleasant, is right on the park, and has pretty decent schools. Your property taxes are maybe 10% of the suburbs and at least some people will have a much easier commute (and ability to dash home to deal with kid crises). Assuming the house’s bones are decent you either fix it up now or take your time. Why take offense at the idea someone might want to do that?
Bricolage? Ha! I’m not the guy who posted for 560 State but I’ve been to a few open houses there. It’s actually very quiet inside, the apts are prewar w/ moder renovations & big. Suffice to say, $689k is priced right. Rogers is spot on w/ BAM & trains. Sorry, but just my 2 cents about 560 State
THIS HOUSE HAS ONE BATHROOM!
NOT UPDATED!
OLD TINT KITCHEN!
OLD WINDOWS!
THE CELLAR IS NASTY!
EVEN $500,000 LATER AND IT IS STILL UGLY!
THERE ARE SUCKERS OUT THERE BUT THEY ARE NOT THIS CRAZY!
“A million dollars buys you a 1 bedroom in the heart of London.”
No, it doesn’t. Definitely need more than that there.
In the burbs, instead of paying more for a home, instead you pay tens of thousands of dollars worth of taxes to a bankrupt state (yes…new jersey is bankrupt).
Enjoy that and the $4 a gallon gas!
Your kids will hate you when they turn 18, but at least they’ll each have their own room and bathroom!!!
