House of the Day: 40 2nd Place
Optimism knows no bounds in Carroll Gardens. Already in this young year we’ve chronicled two listings that have come out of the box at over $3 million. (One of them, 78 3rd Place appears to have been yanked reduced to $2,950,000 in the wake of 250+ comments mocking the ridiculousness of asking $3,495,000 for the…

Optimism knows no bounds in Carroll Gardens. Already in this young year we’ve chronicled two listings that have come out of the box at over $3 million. (One of them, 78 3rd Place appears to have been
yanked reduced to $2,950,000 in the wake of 250+ comments mocking the ridiculousness of asking $3,495,000 for the 3,100-square-foot pad.) Today’s house of the day at 40 2nd Place is slightly less ambitious at $2,800,000. Still, at less than 16 feet wide and sporting a renovation that feels too “new” looking in that suburban kind of way, we’re not holding our breath about this one getting anywhere close to ask either. For what it’s worth, the 2,300-square-foot house last sold in 2004 for $1,700,000.

I’d like to open up a reasoned debate on the boundaries of Park Slope.
There certainly are some duds in Park Slope that have been on the market for a while–price too high for quality of the specific house. That’s why whenever something truly nice comes up at a good price, it’s snatched up asap. So to any prospective Slope sellers–just price it right and it’ll move.
If this house was in Hotel Le Bleu, I’d buy it.
8:01…believe it or not the New York Times is not as timely as you might think about updating when said properties have already received an offer or signed contract.
I called about two of said 16 listings yesterday, and both had already received offers.
16 is more than 1 though. I’ll give you that.
But already my number is down to 14, and some of those listings are CRAPOLA!
People in Bed Stuy are more twisted. Greenpoint 2/3 as twisted.
The image of an “intense ass” is not what I needed rightaboutnow. Bartender!
More likely, people from Park Slope are so twisted and money grubbing that they will even lie about a shortage so they can raise their prices.
I knew we could count on Broker/Seller 7:59 to keep this baby bubblin’!
Just did an updated search to confirm my point: there are over 16 Park Slope listings on the NY Times, many of which I’ve been seeing for months. I stopped counting at the $2.195 4th street listing because I have to get my intense ass to the gym.
