Only a fucktardian asshat would pay HALF of what these craptoed shitstain fuckbrain’s are asking.
Once more with the Meh.
This price is so ludicrous it must exist only to elicit mockery and scorn.
There is NOTHING special about that house.
So, one final round of MEH!
“You don’t think that this is a very unusual Gothic style house”
I’m not 8:04. And this house is NOT Gothic. Are you serious???? Surely you must be teasing. It’s an Italianate brownstone, and they’re to be found all over Brooklyn
It’s a beautiful house, to be sure, on a prime street in Brooklyn Heights, but it hasn’t moved at this price in almost a year. Surely, those rich folks who have seen it, and can afford it, were not that impressed by the house at that price point. Otherwise, it would have moved already.
8:04,
You don’t think that this is a very unusual Gothic style house? How many of these are there in the city? eight? nine? Not many.
It is also on a golden block. It is a trophy house. As such it is different than an ordinary house. I am not a broker, don’t be ridiculous, but I do know about houses and NYC architecture. There are several books you could read at the library to bring yourself up to speed. “Bricks and Brownstones” is one, “Old Brooklyn Heights” is another, “A Guide to NYC Landmarks” is a third.
Thanks Broker at 7:47 – Your transparent post certainly adds to the “cachet” as well.
This is a very unusual Gothic-style brownstone. It is anything but common or “boring”. Although I suppose Homer Simpson would think so.
I think the price is right.
It is an unusual work of art that is also a house. It can’ be measured in “dollars per square feet” like any ordinary house somewhere else.
Even if the rest of the economy bombs, I would not be surprised if this sells at ask.
True, it takes time for these places to sell, i think because you need two or three interested buyers and there are not that many people who can afford this. Of course that adds to the cachet.
I’ll have what they (the owners) are having…
Ah, fantasies of what to do with $8 million! I would happily keep our LM house we already own, and buy a big historic summer house on the Vineyard, in lieu of spending $8 million for this.
I think Meh means “Whatever” or “Boring”.
It is commonly used on the simpsons when one of the characters expresses dis-interest in something.
