Somehow, we’ve never covered the condo at 187 13th Street, which hit the market a few months ago, according to StreetEasy. The building, which is between 3rd and 4th avenues, has 7 units, according to DOB permits. The ad lingo says the following: “A loft-like condo building, with studio lofts, 1 and 2 bedrooms, located in a section of Park Slope that is the next place to be.” The listings also note FHA status is pending. StreetEasy says one of the units is in contract and there are two other active listings, a 624-sf 1-bedroom priced at $408,000 and a 1,178-sf duplex asking $689,000.

  1. benson, love CH. just want more sq ft as I intend to add to the child count. am also thinking super hard on moving into my crown heights place (much bigger than my CH place) to wait out the mkt.

  2. M4L;

    Don’t you already own an apartment in Clinton Hill? Are you looking for more space, or just want out of CH?

    Incredible that prime BK is in some respects more pricy than Manhattan.

  3. benson, want a house in bk prime but prices have not dropped enough and prices are holding so have recently started looking at upper west and upper east Man at 3 bdrm coops. To my surprise, found a bunch of good units that are prices cheaper psf of comparable ones in BK prime. Overall, Man still pricier due to the bigger maintenance but the diff (bigger maintenance offset by cheaper price) is starting to be small enough for me to give Manhattan very serious consideration

  4. “Nomi, when you’re at the very blurry floor plans, click on headers ‘137 13th St’, it’ll take you to the actual listing. Floor plans are there and a little less blurry.”

    Right, less blurry, but still need magnifying glass. Well, not literally (yet!), but too small to bother.

  5. M4L;

    I agree with you 100% about the FHA situation. To me, this situation is akin to the sub-prime mortgage situation that got us in this mess in the first place. I don’t understand why the federal government continues to try to prop up the housing market. Let the market find its natural pricing level, and then you’ll have a true, self-sustaing recovery.

    I’m confused about your posts. Are you looking for a condo or a house?

  6. prices still look very expensive relative to the location, size, and build quality.

    as a tax payer, really not liking this FHA stuff. if any buyer flakes on the loan at these prices, very good chance it’ll be big losses on the mortgage note and it’ll be us tax payers footing the bill once again
