Co-op of the Day: 128 Sixth Avenue
The appropriation of free blogging software by FSBO-ers is really catching on! Last week it was a Fort Greene two bedroom; this week it’s a charming one-bedroom in Park Slope brownstone.

The appropriation of free blogging software by FSBO-ers is really catching on! Last week it was a Fort Greene two bedroom; this week it’s a charming one-bedroom in Park Slope brownstone. Located on the corner of Sterling Place and Sixth Avenue, the ground-floor apartment also comes with a space in the two-car garage in the rear of the building. The asking price of $549,000 seems reasonable for a full floor in this part of town; the maintenance of $656 is a couple bucks more than we would have expected but not a deal breaker. If you stop by either open house this weekend, drop us a note. We bet there will be good foot traffic. Anyone got any good comps for this place?

by the way, there’s a craigslist posting for a 9 unit brownstone with parking in the slope that uses the same picture from the FSBO site above. It also uses a picture from what looks like the driveway on my block on Park Place.

To 2:33am…sorry…some of what you say is crap. name of the game is location location location and there are better condos and coops in brooklyn heights that are not going for this kind of money. he is at a very noisey intersection and frankly on the edge of 3 neighborhoods..one not so hot. that said, yes to there is no co-op board sticking their fingers up your bum with a microscope
Because condos don’t care how you finance
Because Meir buildings have prestige. but the other comments…NOT
“what the heck then is going on with the new condo that Richard Meir is building in Prospect Heights? looks more like $1000+ a sq ft…”
Because it is a condo
Because it has views of the park
Because it is modern with walls of glass
Because there is no co-op board sticking their fingers up your bum with a microscope
Because condos don’t care how you finance
Because Meir buildings have prestige
Because few things are likely to break
(etc)
Of course if you want pre-industrial age architecture and atmosphere then you don’t care what prices per sq ft are in modern buildings. Nevertheless, overall, condos are much more than co-ops now, and Meir buildings are much more than condos too.
This apt. only comes with HALF of the garage btw.
I just read that $700 a sq ft might be fair. what the heck then is going on with the new condo that Richard Meir is building in Prospect Heights? looks more like $1000+ a sq ft…
based on all these comments, tell me what you think I could get for my 950 sq ft, 1 bdrm coop with views of the city, prime street along prospect park, brand new bathroom and top of the line new kitchen, wood floors, high ceilings, lots of light, lots of closets, elevator building, pets ok, smoking ok, kids ok! any takers? any ideas for $?
It seems that the population on this blog may not be broker friendly but sorry to say you are not the extent of the buying population:)
I guess all the out of towners and foreign purchasers who are pumping their uber euros here don’t count. They do have access larger firms overseas. It seems with everyone here so bargain conscience that the FSBO market is really effective. Sorry for the owner who says he/she earned it and the brokers didn’t.I guess you are right.
For the level of renovation, ceiling height and location (taking the garage into account) does over 700 per square foot seem fair for the area? If so, I should consider selling my own 1.5, 800 square foot with 14×14 roof patio across 6th avenue…
7:17 is correct…PLEASE let me know of a 150-200 garage in the north slope…no way that is realistic – and this is covered parking too.
