Co-op of the Day: 101 Lafayette Avenue, #6A
Here’s a nice-looking one-bedroom at 101 Lafayette Avenue in Fort Greene. A similar, though less nicely finished, apartment down the hall was listed for $580,000 last fall. This one’s just hit the market asking $550,000 and carrying monthly maintenance charges of $897. Think it’ll fly? Anyone know if the apartment down the hall ever sold?…

How arrogant do you have to be to list a one bedroom at such a pre-Lehman price without even bothering to take some half way decent pictures???
The fact that the listing says the kitchen “could have a dishwasher installed” suggests its a pretty old and un-renovated kitchen…I can’t imagine this place going for north of 500,000.
common charges in nice co-ops are going up just like everything else. What was considered high four years ago is just average today. We live in a very expensive city. Some would say too expensive. If that is true, then I suspect people will start to leave, as they have done so many times before. I think we are right at that point where everyone is wondering: what will happen next? Will there be an exodus? Will things stabilize and pick up where we left off twelve months ago? Who knows? I put my money on a lot of people leaving. The cost of living here has really just gotten out of hand, and as a recent NYT article pointed out, unemployment compensation in NYS is quite a bit lower than in nearby states where living costs are much lower. You get a smaller unemployment check in NYC than in Pittsburg or New Haven. It is almost like the State of NY is telling people: scram!
Apples and oranges SnarkSlope. Thats’ an alcove studio in the UWS.
Here’s a better deal. Cheaper, lower maintenance, and in Manhattan:

Comman charges are too high for someone looking in this price range.
Great location, really nice building, pre-crash price. Factoring in the excellent location and the 24 hour doorman situation I would think that 450 could get this sold.
No pic of the bedroom either. I think when there are more pictures of the view than the bedroom, there is a problem there (whether with the apt. or the broker is hard to tell, but either way there is no point to pursuing the apt. further).
Without even knowing the sq. footage or how much work the kitchen/bathroom need it is silly to appraise this.
Speaking of which, if something can’t be done about people intentionally putting in absurdly high or low bigs, the Appraisal app should be dropped.
where are the pics?
the living room looks nice from what I can tell
but 550K – nah
and maintenance that high for a 1 BR in Ft.Greena – double nah
not my cuppa tea am afraid!
I would bid $450K
Was just going to say what squaredrive said. No sf. listed either. Looks like a nice sized and maintained pre-war apt., but price seems too high.
