House of the Day: 78 3rd Place
When did average-sized houses in Carroll Gardens start being worth over $3 million? Whenever it was, we didn’t get the memo. Last month, it was 44 1st Place, a generally attractive but inconsistent four-story house asking $3,842,500. (One reader wrote us a particularly nasty email about our stance on that post.) Now it’s 78 3rd…
When did average-sized houses in Carroll Gardens start being worth over $3 million? Whenever it was, we didn’t get the memo. Last month, it was 44 1st Place, a generally attractive but inconsistent four-story house asking $3,842,500. (One reader wrote us a particularly nasty email about our stance on that post.) Now it’s 78 3rd Place, a 3,100-square-foot, three-story brick that, while 23-feet-wide and full of charm, doesn’t feel like it’s worth quite $3,495,000. Are we just out of touch with the Carroll Gardens market or sellers overreaching?

There are areas and houses in Park Slope that are expensive and their are areas and buildings in Park Slope that are dumps.
Why is it that you never, or very rarely, hear people from Brooklyn Heights on this blog comparing everything to Brooklyn Heights.
Park Slope has such a serious personality disorder it is a wonder the neighborhood can get out of bed in the morning.
“a person who innocently wrote that they would expect to pay more in CG than PS”
Ok–I don’t think it was innocent, as I believe it was the broker or seller, no matter what they respond.
The reason I don’t think it was an innocent comment is because any person who pays even minimal attention to the basic state of the real estate market knows what the most expensive neighborhoods are. So for someone to say they EXPECT, meaning they WOULD, pay more in Carroll Gardens is absurd, when nowhere in the last few years of property sales is there any shred of evidence that Carroll Gardens is a more expensive neighborhood than Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights, or Cobble Hill. It was not an innocent comment. AND it’s not about the desirability or not of Carroll Gardens. It’s about the market and what houses in different neighborhoods command. Comps! Comps! Comps!
THIS IS A GREAT CONDO CONVERSION PROJECT, RIGHT B’STONER?!

In general (which for most normal thinking people is how we judge things) Park Slope as a neighborhood is more expensive than Carroll Gardens as a neighborhood.
Anyone with half a brain knows that.
There may be the occasional home in Caroll Gardens that is more expensive, but by far and away, properties in Park Slope are priced higher.
“This price is targeting a developer”
This price is targeting an asshat-wearing fucktard.
i don’t really think that’s true, 5:30.
no talk on an anonymous blog is keeping up real estate prices anywhere.
don’t be so naive.
If were all about comparables then there would be plenty of other places in Carroll Gardens to compare this place to.
There are some places in Park Slope that are more expensive than Carroll Gardens and there are some places that are less expensive than Carroll Gardens.
To say that you have never seem places in Carroll Gardens sell for more than places in Park Slope is just wrong and another typical attempt to try to boost Park Slope on a thread that is not about Park Slope.
5:27-Actually, Brooklyn Heights came up first–and the reason the Heights and Park Slope come up is because they are the most expensive neighborhoods in Brooklyn. As a result, prices get compared often. It’s normal.
park slope people have to keep the property values up so they have to always talk positive about the area….
