Co-op of the Day: 25 South Oxford Street, #5
This top-floor garrett at 25 South Oxford Street in Fort Greene hit the market last month asking $599,000 but was just reduced to $550,000. The 900-square-foot two-bedroom has some cute elements, namely the skylights and windows, but doesn’t appear to have much in the way of original details. The maintenance of $750 is neither here…

The maintenance of $750 is neither here nor there. We bet this goes in the low $500,000s.

Ha-ha, funny. Thanks, Kens, for clarifying.
And Rob’s assumption re: single mothers was really annoying.
I saw this apartment last weekend. It is really small and does feel shabby plus the walk up is awful and the stairs are falling apart. I would pay MAXIMUM 450k for this place for the location alone.
Seconding Mopar:
I saw this apartment last weekend. It’s small and feels shabby, and it’s a long walk up.
I’ve been looking to buy for a year now, because I do have a sizable downpayment nest egg lying around, from selling another apartment. I could afford to spend $520K if I stretched, which I won’t.
But who in his right mind would buy a place now when you can rent a better place for so much less?
Prices will have to come down drastically across the board before anyone rational chooses to buy over renting.
If I had this money I sure wouldn’t spend it on this sad apt.
BrooklynGreene and Nomi, she means a year and a half ago she was a single mom with 2 kids and 100K. Now, she is married, still with 2 kids and still with those monetary means (not spent on wedding).
I should know, we’re siblings :o).
“”=Rob, a year and a half ago I could definitely raise my hand. But last year I got married.”
kensingtonka, um, does that mean you had a $100,000 wedding?
Kensingtonka,
Don’t tell me you have kids and just got married AND spent a mint on the wedding?! I hope you didn’t spend $40,000 on a second wedding.
Rob, it’s “lying around” not “laying around”. Lay takes a direct object: “I lay the book on the table.”
Or, it’s the past tense of “lie” (as in recline, not fib):
“Yesterday, I lay down on the couch at seven o’clock after dinner and ended up sleeping all the way until this morning.”
Remember:
LIE (as in recline)
I lie down.
Yesterday I lay down at eleven o’clock.
I had lain there at least half an hour when the telephone
rang waking me up.”
**************
LAY (as in putting something down)
I lay bricks for a living.
I laid the book on the table when I entered the house.
I had laid the dishes already when I suddenly realized I hadn’t put down the felt pad under the tablecloth!.
*************
LIE (as in fib)
He often lies to me but I don’t care.
He lied to me yesterday but I let him get away with it.
He had lied for years until she finally got wise.
Rob, a year and a half ago I could definitely raise my hand. But last year I got married.
