House of the Day: Price Drop in PLG
We don’t usually have the patience to sift through the morass of noise on Craigslist (plus, the site is blocked by the firewall at work), so we like it when readers draw stand-out listings to our attention.

We don’t usually have the patience to sift through the morass of noise on Craigslist (plus, the site is blocked by the firewall at work), so we like it when readers draw stand-out listings to our attention. Such as this nugget in Prospect Lefferts Gardens. Judging from the pics, this house is pure gold. Out tipster has been watching this place sit on the market for the past three months at $789,000. It’s now down to $750,000. The drawbacks include the need for a new roof and a fair bit of street noise, but for these details at this price, we think that’s a trade we could live with. Opposing views?

“Anonymous Duh” is 100% correct about how to play the game. Meanwhile, why doesn’t “Anonymous Shove It” move to New Jersey?
Listen anonymous DUH take your self righteouness and shove it I rather invest somewhere I can feel safe..This area is by no way ready for any gentrification…I’ve lived near here and gladly moved away…SHOVE IT
Those who score the greatest gains in the gentrification game are those who have foresight, the stomach for risk and the patience to invest in a “neighborhood where you can’t be safe or comfortable.” Duh.
I’ve seen this house and the surrounding area is not the greatest…lots of corner hanging out in the summer time..Why invest in a neighborhood where you can’t be safe or comfortable.
not long ago, people said CH was unsafe…
Wow! Just saw the listing. The house looks incredible. Not sure about the neighborhood but it looks like a good deal. A relative good value despite some of the community drawbacks. If Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Bed-Stuy and Stuy Heights can turn for the better, I’m confident that this neighborhood will simarily improve over time. In this frothy market, the great deals typically stand out in retrospect. This might be one of them.
$400’s?!? What planet are you from? Are you’re out of your mind or simply looking for a hand out? The “Gentrification Discount” or “Brown Fire Sale”!!! Which one is it?
The large front yard could accommodate a moat of some sort.
That is a nice looking house, but 750k or even 650k, is too high, I say try 400’s if you are lucky.
This nabe is not very safe, to say the least.
Try gates and bars on all your doors and windows for starters.
