HOTD: BHS Price Cuts on Dean Street

Brown Harris Stevens got out the cleaver this week on a couple of their townhouse listings on Dean Street. The house on the left, 239 Dean Street, has been on the market for 24 weeks, according to Natefind, and was just cut from $1,985,000 to $1,800,000. The address of the house on the right is undisclosed but is almost certainly further east. This baby gets about a zero on the charm-o-meter so we’re not surprised the price was reduced within two weeks of being listed from $1,695,000 to $1,395,000. It never had a business at its original asking price and still has a long way to go before anyone’s going to take it seriously. As for Number 239, we’re curious to know what’s holding it back. Were there questionable renovations done at some point?

Didnt the house right across @ 236 Dean previously in Brownstoner have a bidding war at 1.8M? since that needed a total gut job, did those new owners overpay at these new prices?
There’s a 22-footer across the street on Dean that corcoran just listed recently for 1.8mm…
Does anyone think that the 239 Dean house is a good deal at $1.8M? Or, is it still too high?
The 239 Dean house, that is, was 2.2 mil.
This house was initially listed at $2.2 million in April, making this the second price cut.
The modern house on Dean is part of a 1980s middle income development that went south. Some of the houses were subsequently abandoned but many more of them were never even built. That has since been rectified with a contractor supervised by HPD coming in to build out the rest of the site — completed about 2-3 years ago with new houses on Bergen and Underhill. Not a very attractive group of buildings but they serve their purpose. Not comparable to a historic townhouse, however, and still a stretch at $1.395 imho.
Maybe it’s the owner of 239 Dean Street getting revenge on this thread.
Is everyone on acid or is it just me?!
