House of the Day: 64 Prospect Place
Here’s a nice two-family in Park Slope for under $3 million. Then again, the Queen Anne house is smaller than your average brownstone so the asking price of $2,650,000 only gets you 2,910 square feet of living space. Nonetheless, the exterior and parlor floor have charm galore and the garden apartment generates $2,200 a month….

There sure does seem to be a lot of houses on the market in Park Slope. You think this one will sit unsold for as long as that Sterling Place house has been sitting. The Sterling Place house is even cheaper per sq. ft. than this place. I imagine this will have to come down in price quite a bit before it moves.
Wall Street is overrated.
I hope the whole thing crashes and burns.
They can all get jobs at the burgeoning retail scene on 5th Ave.
Saw that flight001 is hiring!
ah yes. Brokers who use Wall Street to justify high prices, but then deny Wall Street’s existence when it can mean lower prices.
It is not just Wall Streeters who are nervous about job security. I work at a law firm and many law firms are expecting layoffs.
D-list? It was the fifth-biggest investment bank on Wall Street.
As for the cars comparison, that’s genuinely stupid — do you people even stop to think before you post? Just about anyone with a reasonable salary in NYC can afford to buy or lease a BMW — the gap in price between a BMW and a Nissan is just not that big. The gap in price between paying $2500 a month to rent and $8000 a month to buy, plus the $700K down payment, is immense.
And, in any case, car sales are down sharply over the past year, if you’d bothered to look.

Isn;t fact that nobody is buying expensive houses right now in Park Slope at least? Have houses been selling? Seems to me that the same houses are having open houses again and again.
3:22 dlist bank?
..other banks prosper?
have you picked up a newspaper, turned on the radio or t.v. today. Markets all over the world are reeling from this event.
Money to afford does not equal sound investment.
Re the 3:15pm poster. While I assume that your 10 percent comment is correct in that maybe only 10 percent of readers of Browstoner or 10 percent of NY’ers direclty or indirectly work on/for wall street, the more relevant fact is what percentage of people who can afford this place work on/for wall street. I bet that percentage is a much much higher.
I love how when wall street is booming people say that the investment banker’s dollars will of course drive up the market, so buy now. And when it’s falling, they say, oh, it’s not tied to wall street. Can’t have it both ways.
