Co-op of the Day: 90 8th Avenue
What’s not to like about this two-bedroom co-op at 90 8th Avenue in Park Slope? Besides the fact that there’s only one bathroom, not much. It’s about as classic as a prewar co-op gets. We’ll see how the asking price of $785,000 flies though. The apartment directly upstairs sold for just $580,000 three years ago…
What’s not to like about this two-bedroom co-op at 90 8th Avenue in Park Slope? Besides the fact that there’s only one bathroom, not much. It’s about as classic as a prewar co-op gets. We’ll see how the asking price of $785,000 flies though. The apartment directly upstairs sold for just $580,000 three years ago and the C-line on the 8th floor just closed for $785,000 last month, but who knows what kind of shape those places were in. Think the sellers will get their price?

“trust fund rastafarians”
get yer cliches in order.
Does anybody here actually believe 2:22/2:26?
Just a random straw poll…
This was obviously a one-bedroom apartment with a living room and a dining room. The original living room was converted to a bedroom and the original dining room is now the living/dining area. It probably would fetch more in its original configuration as it would appeal to affluent singles or young marrieds. A cut-up unit like this would appeal to budget-conscious types and in that case, this is priced too high. I hate to see gracious apartments cut up like this. In fancy neighborhoods, it actually diminshes their re-sale value.
Right on 2:33! Baby boomers ain’t they’re parents geezers. These people like socialization. This is Reverse White Flight – it’s newurbanization, my friend. No need to pay mad coin to the towns of the burbs when your kids no longer attend the public schools.
They’ll use those paid off mortgages to buy condos & coops & tax savings & savings from less driving to support the restaurants & bars of Brooklyn. Brooklyn is where it be.
Congrats, 2:26! Hope it becomes a great home for you.
2:31…are you the same person who said that no one on Wall Street would ever consider any other neighborhood besides Brooklyn Heights in Brooklyn and now you’re claiming that these same people are propping up the prices in Park Slope…?
Baby boomers, foreigners, wall street, trust fund rastafarians will all prop up prices
As gas prices rise, you are going to see this trend increase quite dramatically, 2:29.
Also…why would I want to continue paying 20K a year in taxes to support a school system I have long overgrown…?
As people age, they want to make connections with others like them. This is easier in an urban environment.
Who will prop up your prices then?
