House of the Day: 396 Vanderbilt Avenue
It’ll be interesting to see what 396 Vanderbilt Avenue ultimately sells for. A pristine brownstone in this location could probably fetch the asking price of $1,995,000, but this place falls a little short of that description.

It’ll be interesting to see what 396 Vanderbilt Avenue ultimately sells for. A pristine brownstone in this location could probably fetch the asking price of $1,995,000, but this place falls a little short of that description. The four-story, two-family house has the requisite old moldings and marble fireplaces but some details have been lost and the house as a whole will definitely need some renovation. Given all that, we think this is off the mark in the current market by at least 10 percent. If not more.

nuh-huh, brownstoner. Try again.
it definitely helps to be on ‘stoner but you also need a thick skin to deal with everyone’s nit-picking.
there are people out there who would hate on versailles (“so gaudy. . over the top!”) or the taj mahal (“marble is so 1600’s!)
they live for the hatred. . . and going to open houses and proclaiming that every house needs to be gutted.
Sorry. That BP link was wrong. Correct link to NYT listing is now up.

if you think exposure of a for-sale property on this site does not improve the prospects for selling that property, you are nutso. if and when i sell my house, i will be asking mr. b very nicely to make it a house of the day.
1:59: you’re right. i’ve never read any comments on this board about the subpar quality of fixtures, location, etc…
You new to this site, 1:59??
People trash any house and EVERY house on here.
What about the completely trashed Park Slope Lincoln Place house that was a HOTD recently that ended up selling for 250K over ask??
Granted it sold just fine obviously, but your theory of pricing it correctly to alleviate trashing does not happen on this website.
Some people are attached to their homes and have raised a family there and don’t want to read comments about how their digusting, chachki filled rooms remind them of a ghetto in Calcutta.
Imagine that?

You can solve being trashed by pricing your property correctly.
You remind me of those who commit crimes then react disappointingly to news coverage.
Sell is FSBO.
No reason not to.
Did it with mine. It’s easy as pie.
You have to hire a real estate attorney anyway, and they handle everything after you’d gone through the rigors of showing it though.
And if you price it well, you can feasibly hold ONE open house and sell it in a day.
You are already gaining an extra 6%, so might as well price it low and get it sold fast and cut out the middle man.
And the added bonus of not having to deal with the place showing up here.
I’d never want my house profiled here.
