Co-op of the Day: 449 9th Street, #2F
This one-bedroom co-op at 449 9th Street is very cute. Great brownstone-y moldings and parquet floors plus good natural light. The major negative is the size of the bedroom, which appears to be just a standard single-windowed side room. Still, for one person, this could end up working quite nicely. Do you think they’ll end…

The major negative is the size of the bedroom, which appears to be just a standard single-windowed side room. Still, for one person, this could end up working quite nicely. Do you think they’ll end up getting close to the asking price of $389,000?

BTW, According to Streeteasy…Unit 2R in the same building (also a 1 bedroom) was listed for $430,000 on 9/22/09 and went to contract on 11/4/09.
No idea what the sales price was/is but I’m guessing it was about the same as this unit size-wise.
3R sold for $410,000 in August 2009.
This one seems priced to sell according to these numbers….
9th st is fine until you get to the area between 2nd and 3rd avenue. of course, that is where i live!!
ty, my friend just closed on a great pre-war 1 bedroom in ditmas for $225. It’s got great floors, a true hallway, big foyer/dining area and two exposures. Pre taxes she’s probably spending about $100 more than a comparable rental, but post taxes is where the deal really shines and she’s in non profit.
Agree Gem. And just to clarify…I never said yesterday that 9th Steet was bad, I just said that it’s more heavily traveled than most PS streets.
And was pointing out that 2 million for a house on 9th Street was a buttload of $$.
I like 9th Street though and really like this apartment.
I have to day – that’s a pretty sweet 1 BR and for a good price in an excellent area, even if it’s on 9th street – it’s still prime!
Agreed, Ditmas.
Park Slope is not the best neighborhood to be speaking about here since it’s one of the highest priced in Brooklyn.
I’ve seen really great 1 bedrooms for sale just a couple stops farther on the Q train from PS for 200K and even less.
On the Tokyo and Hong Kong analogy, you are way off base. Things very far from “Central” in Hong Kong and Maranouchi in Tokyo sell for multiples of this place.
HK prices are well above US$1,000 psf even for crappy places.
tybur6 – instead of banging your head against the wall of Park Slope prices, why not look in cheaper neighborhoods? You could get a “starter” place for half this price in a perfectly decent area.
And the reason why I say 350K is because I’m factoring in that there might be some room for negotiation on this price. It might go for closer to ask…who knows…
350K would be a good deal for the buyer.
