86garfpl0807.jpgThe question about 86 Garfield Place ain’t whether it’s nice—it’s cute as a button—but whether the asking price of $2,329,000 is realistic for a three-story house just up from 5th Avenue. The best context we have for the asking price is what it sold for back in the Spring of 2006. The number? $1,715,000. It’s probable that the new owner did some work on the house in the meantime but whether he did $600,000 of work is another matter. In some ways, it doesn’t really matter though. The market will decide. Anyone checked it out in person yet?

  1. 2:54, and hence 3:06: Not really sure what you wonder people are talking about. 5th Ave hasn’t been “seedy” in at least 10 years. 5th Ave was a bunch of crack houses when I went to Jr HS back in the late 80’s. Boo-Hoo to you if you had to walk in front of Coco Roco or gay bars. Bunch of prissy whiners…..

  2. First of all I saw this house and it is much deeper than most, 50 ft. plus extentiuon to 60. It has a very high income rental because it is two bedrooms. I may very well try to buy this home. Everyone is an expert, did they know that a house between 4 and 5 just sold for over 1.7 and is only 3 stories. When you buy a condo for over 1.6, is that buyer crazy. some people are more concerned with a beautiful place to live,and have income. Lets face it whether you like it or not; park slope is an affluent community,
    A property on the block just sold for almopst 2.3

  3. The price is ridiculous! It might be ok for a 4 floor house, but this is only 3 floors and needs work! Why do you think they don’t show photos of kitchen and baths? No matter how much they paid for it 1.5 years ago, 1.8 million is a more accurate price – if they find someone that want and can pay taht much.
