House of the Day: 73 New York Avenue (Revisited)
We took a gander at this listing at 73 New York Avenue in Crown Heights last October when it was with Corley Real Estate asking $1,429,000. Fast forward eight months and the thing hasn’t sold. What’s your move as the owner? Jack the price another 10 percent and give it to a brokerage firm with…
We took a gander at this listing at 73 New York Avenue in Crown Heights last October when it was with Corley Real Estate asking $1,429,000. Fast forward eight months and the thing hasn’t sold. What’s your move as the owner? Jack the price another 10 percent and give it to a brokerage firm with almost no reach with buyers looking to drop $1,600,000 on a house. Of course, the point is kinda moot, since even buyers who can spend that much ain’t gonna do it here (even though the house itself certainly has its charms). The house has been carved up into four units, the site didn’t make the cut into the historic district and there’s a bus stop right in front of the house. Doesn’t mean there wouldn’t be a line around the block at the right price but this asking price is a pipe dream.

Ah the great power of anonymous commenting.
Not contacting a customer is a ridiculous assertion, unless, of course, the anonymous poster of comments toward the deep incompetence of Corley Realty Group or Michael Corley was not buyer or financially qualified to gain an appointment.
I’m in awe of the folks who post here who assume a real estate broker is required by law to conduct required public service to fulfill the fantasy of “gawkers” interested in going into people’s home with no real intent to purchase.
Anonymous, if you didn’t get an appointment, then you didn’t qualify to be eligible.
It’s easy to ramble on about what a broker does and does not do.
Rarely do you guys ever comment on what they can and can’t do as home shoppers, financially…as this post bears out when arriving at values.
Something done here often also…knowing the price of every home commenting and the value of none.
My goodness, it has a 4 car garage though!

I bought a house in Clinton Hill through Mike Corley and had a good experience. It was an estate sale that involved reluctant familiy members and a lawyer who moved at a glacial pace. Corley was responsive, straightforward, and helpful. I’m not suggesting that the other experiences described are inaccurate. Just saying that my experience was positive.
I second that the first problem was listing it with Corley real estate. We had to BEG Michael Corley to let us look at some of the houses he was selling last year. He never had the keys, canceled appointments at the last minute or just didn’t show up. Although, he did have some of the most creative excuses I have ever come across.

This is a truly beautiful house on a truly bad block. I looked at the house next door about 4 years ago. It’s really unfortunate that the block got so butchered.
Hopefully it isn’t sold to a developer as a tear down. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
I’d guess the place will go for closer to $850 if they actually want to sell it.
BTW…. the g-map link is to Beard ST

I don’t blame the owners for changing the broker….we bought our house through Corley, and he was deeply incompetent……
This house should sell for above $1.3 million, ….that would still only be $275 psf
