This blast from the past was asking $1,250,000 when we had it as a Co-op of the Day back in early in January. Most of you thought it was slightly overpriced. Most of you were, apparently, correct.

  1. I held an open house for a 1 bedroom I’ve owned for a few years around 3 blocks from this listing yesterday. I’m selling the place FSBO. I would say I had about 20 real, live interested parties come through and by the end of last evening, I had received 2 offers…one at asking and one a little above.

    My place is around 600 square feet and I listed it at 579K.

    If there is softening in this market, I am unaware of it.

  2. How on earth could this price be seen as a softening of the market? Over $1m for what is a large and beautiful floorthru seems like a good price for both the buyer and seller. A softening would be evident if it never sold. Or if it sold for less than a similar apartment sold for previously. I think this actually could set a new record for a 2 bedroom. But it is clearly bigger than most 2 bedrooms.

  3. Yes, speaking of the Dow, it’s looking pretty dismal. What about people who will need to sell their homes to have retirement money? Better to sell now when the getting’s still OK – bird in the hand and all that…

  4. i saw this place at the open house and it was very unimpressive. The areas in the photos are the only areas that were renovated. The bathrooms were disgusting and outdated. The office loft area was made for a 5 foot person and the hallways of the brownstone were straight out of the 1960’s. I was very disappointed when I saw it.

  5. The one plus is that Park Slope Prime has very little new construction or glut of glassy new condos. It’s really only 4th Avenue…

    Areas like Chelseam UWS and Downtown are starting to see the affects of higher inventory, but I’d venture to guess that inventory in Park Slope might be even lower than it was last year. It’s REALLY scarce.

    That’s not to say price cuts are being had in Park Slope (I know they are) but I was just shocked at what little there is on the market.
