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.

“There are no comps for good houses selling in Carroll Gardens for 2.5 to 2.8 million?
What are people talking about?
I don’t get some of the postings here. They make no sense. To me, this is right within the comps for this area.”
Why don’t you take a 30 second visit to:
http://www.nyc.gov/html/dof/html/pdf/08pdf/rolling_sales/neighborhood_sales/brooklyn_sales_prices.pdf
and then report back on all of your 2.5 to 2.8 million “comps”?
These are ACTUAL SALES folks, not pie in the sky listings.
Average and median sales price for single family and two family homes in Carroll Gardens was $1.2-$1.3 million in 2007. The highest price for a single family was $1.8 million.
Hey 5:31,
If you take that shit and smear in on a canvas with your fingers, make those corn kernels come to the surface, then lacquer the whole thing, you might be on to something.
Oh jeeze. here we go again comparing neighborhoods. Bed Stuy and Crown Heights are beautiful neighborhoods and so is Carroll Gardens. They all have selling points. There is no hostility, only love and respect.
Park Slope, on the other hand… well Park Slope is just…oh never mind.
Hey 5:29 – I just created a multicolored masterpiece that resembles a Rothko. Hint: I had corn for lunch. $5M and it’s yours.
15.83 ft wide! 15.83 ft wide! 15.83 ft wide! 15.83 ft wide! 15.83 ft wide! 15.83 ft wide! 15.83 ft wide! 15.83 ft wide! 15.83 ft wide!
How about that Rothko that sold for 78 million at Sotheby’s. Just a some lines of colors on a canvas. Actually, the color palette is quite similar to this 2nd place brownstone. It should get at least 3 million.

Not the comps for Bed Stuy or Crown Heights, but for this area.
Such hostility from certain people to listings south of Flatbush Avenue.
Hey brokers: dust off your passports, you’ll have to set up shop overseas to sell at these prices.
Hey people in Ireland: here’s a hint – brokers aren’t coming over to Ireland to sell NYC real estate because they think you’re SMART BUYERS!
