House of the Day: 12 Warren Place
We go from a 12.5-foot-wide house for $1,250,000 in the South Slope yesterday for to an 11.5-foot-wide house for $945,000 in Cobble Hill today. And while the South Slope house has about twice as much square footage, it can’t come close to comparing in terms of charm because the Cobble Hill house happens to be…
We go from a 12.5-foot-wide house for $1,250,000 in the South Slope yesterday for to an 11.5-foot-wide house for $945,000 in Cobble Hill today. And while the South Slope house has about twice as much square footage, it can’t come close to comparing in terms of charm because the Cobble Hill house happens to be located in one of the most charming spots in the entire city, Warren Place. Hopefully someone out there will be able to tell us what the highest price for one of these old Workingmen’s Cottages is. Given the great condition and quality of finish in this place, we won’t be surprised if the seller gets her price.

anon 3:17 i think anon 2:25 was citing pressure in Alt-A mortgages. I’d bet quite a lot of 1.0mm+ houses have been bought with Alt-A mortgages. (parenthetically 2:25, Alt-a paper isnt anywhere close to worthless, nor for that matter is subprime. If you have some alt-a or subprime or alt-a paper and want to give it to me for free I’ll gladly take it off your hands)
I saw one of these houses and found it really claustrophobic. But then I’m on the tall side.
Untrustworthy? We were there, and she was perfectly nice.
To Anon 2:25,
How many subprime borrowers bought $1.0 million + Brooklyn townhouses? My guess is the answer is pretty close to 0.
I went to the open house and while I agree broker needs to hear all offers (and maybe advise owner not to accept one until all offers are in), this broker did seem particularly untrustworthy.
i love the poster that thinks because a property sells for less than a million that the real estate market is crashing.
next thing you know, they’ll use that logic to say that a studio not selling for at least a half million means the sky is falling.
are you stupid? this is a small house. lovely, but small. size does have some affect on prices, you do realize???
it’s so unbelievably tempting to add to the hype…let’s drive the price up another 2 or 300…oy.
i believe it was Mos Def who swooped in with the 1.1 offer
I feel like bidding 1.2mm just to mess with the 1.1mm’s head.
I meant this anon 2:21 sounded like the agent not the other 2:21

Don’t have the bucks, but if I did I would jump on it in a second”
