Condo of the Day: 655 Washington Avenue, Apt. 3B
Things are going better than we thought at The Modern Post, the ten-unit condo building at 655 Washington Avenue in Prospect Heights. According the broker, four units are in contract and another two units have “contracts out.” One of the remaining apartments, a 582-square-foot one-bedroom, is asking $379,000. The ceiling heights and windows are nice…

According the broker, four units are in contract and another two units have “contracts out.” One of the remaining apartments, a 582-square-foot one-bedroom, is asking $379,000. The ceiling heights and windows are nice in this place and, if you are looking for a modern condo, the finishes seem well done as well. Any takers?

cwb, am thinking all-cash buyers and those 1st 70% of the units will be sold fire sale prices?
Rob –
That Fedder’s Row development is actually not terrible looking. It’s the rest of that block of Bergen that’s pretty hideous. 😛
The iPod thing is ridiculous. “We have a proprietary attachment for something that will almost assuredly be redesigned in the next five years, making our attachment useless. Also if you have any other digital music player, you’re screwed from the get-go!”
All of these new condos are in serious jeopardy now that the market’s dropped. Things like Brownstones will hold their value way better.
How does a new condo ever hit 70% sold if banks are requiring 70% sold to loan money? What, they’re expecting 7/10 of the people buying in a building to make an all-cash payment?
nice looking unit, good light, good finishes but location is so so. $300k? way things are going, some one might buy it all cash for 200k
Ugly ass building, cramped, small, cheap looking cubicle condos with beautiful windows looking out onto the chop shops, tire stores and hair braiding shops of lovely Washington Ave. I’ll pass.
banks actually require 70% sold on new condos now. what a mess.
I like the look of this place. Has a Continental European look to it from my perspective. But I am not a fan of this stretch of Washington and newbuild condos are riskier than regular purchases. I guessed $300k.
cwbueler, lol my ex boyfriend lives in Fedder’s Row acrossed the street from that condo… the one with the huge advertisement on the building touting an ipod deck as an amenity!
*rob*
Oh BTW Banks now require 50% of units sold before they loan you the MONEY!!
Good luck with that…
