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…

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?

well Mr. 5.51 the key is roommates.
but most people are to dumb or uppity for that.
400 square feet is tiny for a 1 bedroom. 1650 sounds about right to me.
But it also shows that whoever said the co-op of the day would rent for 1500 is a total moron.
any thoughts on this one which just sold.

What I’m seeing from some of these quoted rental prices, is that it is not nearly as good to rent as it is to buy. If I’m forking over 3K or 4K I month, I’d like it to go towards something rather than into the pocket of a landlord. And in 30 years, I will be done and you’ll be still pluggin away with the rent payments.
when I moved to Park Slope a year and a half ago I had half a day to find an apartment for my gf and I. I ended up with a 400 sqf 1bed on Lincoln by 8th ave on the back of the forth floor. It was 1650 with no fee and new everything. I thought I was getting ripped off at the time.
some people obviously arnt looking or are really really stingy
5:38 – Pretty much every on this board understands the ins and outs of owning an apartment and the tax benefits etc etc. Mortagge tax deduction is one part – a major part – of the analysis. Another element is the down payment and lost investment potential, the general state of the economy, mortgage rates, price to rent comparable living arrangement etc etc. Again, remember, if you sell within 5 years, you will have paid off a very samll percentage of the motgage pricipal. Add to that closing costs, transfer and state taxes, broker fees etc etc blah blah.
I bet this place is still on the market in a month.
Yes, the slope is expensive, but you can get rental deals because many owner-occupied brownstones have rental units. Alot depends on timing and perseverance. Though $4200 on a 2-bedroom in the slope – that is alot. It must be the phattest apartment in the neighborhood! My friends pay that much for a nice doorman 2-bedroom on the UWS, which can be way expensive.
this took me 2 seconds to find.
