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.

Yeah, 10:12, over on that table by the fireplace across the room. Since this is the skinniest house in the history of skinnyhousedom, it shouldn’t be long before you’re in crullerville!
Are there any donuts at this breakfast bash?
toasted buttery bagel, please. mmm… and a cappuccino.
well then, 10:05, could i interest you in an egg white omelet with a rasher of bacon?
talking about inventory – hey, it is JANUARY people. who puts their house on the market in january??? wait until spring – then we will see more inventory and when it sits and sits and sits all thru the summer months, we will see some serious price-cutting. even the brokers admit this. broker told me a few days ago that mortgage brokers are doing road show presentations to the real estate brokers in town explaining to them the new MUCH stricter lending requirements & telling them to forget about the “foreign money” theory -that is over. as of NOW. broker also says they (the brokers) are having a hard time adjusting sellers’ expectations, which (if you believe this & not the broker-conspiracy theory) somewhat explains the crazy prices we still see. perhaps this broker was a newbie to tell me all this – or maybe playing very sophisticated head games. anyway, they are definitely starting to kowtow to any buyer who suggests that they have a chunk of cash ready to go. they are suddenly so nice – never a truer market measure.
no muffins for me, I’m on the zone.
NEVER too early for RVC, 10:02. Pass the chocolate milk!
Is it too early for some red velvet cake?

Did someone say hotcakes? Bring ’em on! And while you’re at it, waffles, an omelet station, fruit plate, steaming bodum-full of fair trade kona, fresh squeezed pomegranate juice and a nice selection of breads and muffins. It’s the least we can expect with a high end property such as this!!!!
