House of the Day: 275 Washington Avenue
Big changes are afoot at 275 Washington Avenue in Clinton Hill! After a couple of months in limbo, the 36-foot-wide brownstone mansion is back on the market with a new broker and a new price. The 7,800-square-foot property, which the current owner subdivided from the adjacent lot after his purchase from Pratt for a song…

Big changes are afoot at 275 Washington Avenue in Clinton Hill! After a couple of months in limbo, the 36-foot-wide brownstone mansion is back on the market with a new broker and a new price. The 7,800-square-foot property, which the current owner subdivided from the adjacent lot after his purchase from Pratt for a song last June, originally came on the market with Corcoran last September for $3,500,000. It’s now back on with Brown Harris Stevens for $3,200,000. (The carriage house behind it is now on the market with Brooklyn Properties for $2,600,000.) This could be one of the most spectacular homes in Brooklyn, but it’s gonna take a lot of work (and a lot of money).

The last time this discussion came up, the price you gave for Pratt selling it was incorrect. I would double check those numbers.
Also, I think Brooklyn is all condo’d out for the moment. Seller is probably hoping for a condo conversion, that might be a problem.

You just proved that you don’t read, 3:33.
I stated multiple times today that I think the price of this (and many other houses in Brooklyn) are overpriced and asinine.
Are you illiterate?
How exactly did I reinforce your point?
I’m not the broker…
You are, from what others have said. And not even one in NY State.
“At the right price” being the operative phrase. Right now, alot of places, including this one are at the WRONG price.
Hi people! It’s the Grand Puba of cut and paste!
Here is little diddy I was reading! This shows the disconnect between the Bubble Heads and reality.
Be It Ever So Illogical: Homeowners Who Won’t Cut the Price

“Until house prices stop falling, it won’t be clear how many more people will default on their mortgages. Even homeowners who stay current on their mortgage payments will be affected. With the value of their largest asset dropping, many will decide to spend less and save more, aggravating the economic slowdown.”
Hmmm slowdown? Not a good word. Keep dreaming.

I dunno, the links to the local broker that show the interiors (with tall windows opening onto greenery) make me think of a mansion in Savannah, Georgia.
Some 19th-century-phile will snap this up at the right price — or at least some condo-converter.
“But while the number of transactions may be down from this time last year, prices still seem to be rising. Brown Harris Stevens’ and Halstead’s chief economist reports a 14% property price increase, to a median of $850,000.”
Oh and BTW Jerri, you reinforced my point about the amount of transactions in Real Estate! That means you have plenty of starving Brokers and Agents out there who take overpriced listing like this one. It will never sell and if it does go into contract, no bank will fund it! Banks have their own problems now.

“I not worth it”
First statement you’ve ever said I agree with wholeheartedly!!!
Even if it is in broken English.
