Condos of the Day: 145 Halsey Street
According to the marketing verbiage, 145 Halsey Street was built in 1892 by someone named P.F. Emmett. It’s now being reborn as a four-unit condo after undergoing an extensive renovation that restored much of the house’s original detail while updating its systems.

According to the marketing verbiage, 145 Halsey Street was built in 1892 by someone named P.F. Emmett. It’s now being reborn as a four-unit condo after undergoing an extensive renovation that restored much of the house’s original detail while updating its systems. There was an open house for the downstairs apartment on Sunday. Asking price: $425,000. A second unit will be ready for viewing in time for the two open houses this weekend. Anyone check it out yet?

I think the owners have done a nice job but I can’t help but compare and contrast to an earlier post here on Brownstoner…

Many of us are saying “marginal area” to be polite.
I don’t live in a bubble.
I can’t believe I’m doing this but I’m going to respond to the What. Listen What, I actually think there is a chance that the credit crunch represents a major threat to the economy and that housing is way overpriced. (I’ve been reading Prudent Bear’s Credit Bubble Bulletin since 2000 and have been short the dollar since 2001). But, I also see that the Dow closed today less than 6% from its ALL TIME HIGH. You’re hyperbole gets real tired real fast.
This is a real estate blog. Why don’t you spend a little more time posting your rants I mean thoughts on a marketplace blog and spend a little less time here.
This is not a marginal area. There is no lack of amenities. You idiots who make such comments have no idea where this palce is and have not been to the neighborhood. Go back into your bubble and be quiet.
What: Take your medication or I am calling your doctor again.
Oh yeah Amy, How much cash you got back at the closing table?? I hope you got cash instead a check. LMMFAO
The What <-- I love this shit! Someday this war is gonna end...
I’m not trying to be a jerk, I’m trying to point out that no matter how nice the renovation, no matter how nice the seller, $425K for a 1 bedroom walk-up in a marginal area isn’t a great deal.
I could, for example, RENT an apartment with just as much loving detail in this same area for under $2K a month, possibly well under $2k. So why would I buy this?
“Ignore the jerks, especially the What.”
But, what if the jerks are right? LMMFAO Stupid!
Look at the Markets! People are being taken to the wood shed. Plus if there is a meltdown, every loan in a banks pipeline will come to a fucking HALT!!!!! Most likely the load will NOT be made.
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
Hey Assholes, you will pay for your GREED!!! Very soon!!!!
Question: How does Mr. B find these listings on the web where someone like Amy had just put it up and wasn’t expecting any traffic?
Amy: Best of luck. You renovated a beautiful building which I see as a real contribution to the Bed-Stuy community. I hope you make a profit and more people do the same. Ignore the jerks, especially the What.
3:39, well said.
About the C of O, can you actually sell an apartment without a C of O? I mean, doesn’t that come up during due diligence?
