273balticstreet.jpgThis listing at 273 Baltic Street is just popped up on Corcoran—unfortunately without any photos. According to the verbiage, it’s “fully renovated,” complete with central air, a Viking range and a custom media center. We’re guessing that this reno leans toward the modern: “The second floor is accessed via a unique hand made hanging metal staircase which is supported entirely by it’s wall which gives it the appearance of floating from one level to the next.” For $1,995,000 for a three-story, 16-foot-wide house, the reno better be pretty darn nice. Without any pictorial evidence to the contrary, the price sounds like a reach to us.

  1. I have to admit that Brooklyn real estate prices seem very high.
    But a lot of bright people in private sector jobs in NYC make a lot of money.
    The question is how long will it be cool to live in Brooklyn. Families with this kind of dough and great credit have a lot of choices. Is the back-to-Brooklyn movenmet a solid demographic shift or just a fad? Will all the new condos make the Boro cooler or less cool? Only time will tell.

  2. “Back to the house…
    1.995 million and no Living Room???”

    Yes and at the new Trump Soho, 1.2 million buys you no living room and NO BEDROOM.

    It buys you a studio.

    Wake up people. We’re not in Kansas anymore.

  3. er… it doesn’t matter what type of income US households are pulling in. NYC real estate isn’t directly responsive to realities west of the Hudson.

    I’d like to see the incomes percentiles for NYC or NY Metro incomes…

    The row house is worth what the average New Yorker/European will pay for it.

  4. Not that I relish putting up a post that in any way defends The What, but “17% of households in the US make $100,000 or more in annual income” includes all the households with more than $100,000 in income, not those households PLUS the households with more than $200,000. That’s double counting. And, a household includes all the people and earners that live in it, so it’s not “1 in 5 people” anyway. And who knows if these stats are even correct.

  5. “2.7% of households in the US make $ 200,000 or more in annual income
    17 % of households in the US make $ 100,000 or more in annual income

    only 5.6 % of individuals in the US make $ 100,000 or more in annual income ”

    *****
    17% plus 2.7% equals 19.7% dumbass.

    1 in 5 people make 100K or over according to your calcualtions.

    Plus re-read my post DUMBASS
