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…

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?

But I’ve never seen a $3.5 million pricetag in the South Slope, and in the prime Slope it’s only been reserved for a few special properties, and not even they get it all the time. Which is why this listing is totally bullshit. Must be some sort of broker cartel thing starting, since they have so much down time now.
$3.5 million to live on a street called “3rd PLACE”?? Hell no!
The interesting thing about this mammoth thread is that every single post is intelligent, witty and does not repeat in any way what another post has already said.

“the ridiculous prices they are charging in south slope”
Agreed. Much of the South Slope is hideous. It looks a lot like Williamsburg, which might explain the hipster influx happening there.
Do you realize that basically we are all insane? All I can say is…only in new york.
this thread is three or four people waisting time. that is what this all adds up to.
No one ever said the price of this house is reasonable – it’s crazy. However, if I was given the choice of two houses, exactly the same and same price, the only difference being the neighb, CG or PS, I would choose CG. And I actually think there are quite a few people out there who feel the same.
I would pay more for the same house in carroll gardens than for the ridiculous prices they are charging in south slope.
