We are digging this new FSBO listing in the Brownstoner Marketplace. This townhouse floor-through apartment at 154 Lafayette Avenue in Fort Greene has some killer Greek Revival details, including a gorgeous parlor ceiling, along with an interesting approach to kitchen design which works well for the space. The asking price is $575,000, which comes in just south of $700 a foot for the 830-square-foot space. You feeling it?

  1. Over priced by about 75k…itll deffff sell for around 500k-525k not 575k. I dont think the market has much to do with it, the market over all still isnt that strong. Fort Greene is what will merit a half million bucks, Fort Greene is its own market.

  2. That’s only 830sf if you count the shared hallway. More like 700sf, which comes in at $800+ psf. Location’s great, but that’s a lot. Splitting the yard in half is an interesting outdoor space solution.

  3. “Unfortunately there’s a greater trend around Brooklyn of re-bubble-fying the game – pushing the pain further out into the future.”

    This property aside, it would seem that the market has strengthened quite a bit from the lows.

    I bet most of you have never seen interest rates this low!!! You never will again.

  4. If this price is high then we are definitely looking at a significant reduction from peak pricing. This would definitely have been on the low side for a similar apartment with outdoor space in 2007.

  5. I have noticed, in a few listings here and there, some non-crackpipe pricing.

    Unfortunately there’s a greater trend around Brooklyn of re-bubble-fying the game – pushing the pain further out into the future.
