If the owner of this FSBO offering at 95 Devoe Street isn’t a professional stylist or interior designer, she should think about a career change. As far as we can tell, she’s taken a relatively unremarkable Williamsburg row house and turned it into a charming home ready for a magazine shoot. And for her work, it’s looking like she’ll make some money. The four-story, two-family house was purchased for $640,000 in 2004, according to public records. The asking price now? $1,700,000. The owner is listing it herself but offering a 2.5% fee to brokers who bring a buyer to the table. We’ll confess to not being too up on the comps for this area. It’s gotta be on the very high end, but then again it’s probably a lot nicer than most of the houses that come to market around here.
95 Devoe Street [FSBO] GMAP P*Shark
4:39, can you say “people” a seventh time please?
i heard the owners want to move to park slope which is why they are having to ask so much for the house…
“I wonder what this house would cost in PS”
About the same, maybe a little less. A house like this would only be found in the South Slope and no way it would go for much more than 1.7 million.
Which is why it’s priced to absurdly. Park Slope is leaps and bounds better than this area…whether you like Wburg or not…
“No, you idiot, the poster meant poor, loud, tacky, gross people who hang out on the street all day and night annoying everyone”
Oh, you just described Devoe Street.
This place is very close to one of the worst housing projects in Brooklyn, btw.
Geez, people on this list are mean. It genuinely does look like a nice house – I wonder what this house would cost in PS?
And let’s face it, staging matters! So I don’t see why the owners are getting flak for that.
But given the comps, including the purchase price, it does seem like a crazy price. I think a number of properties on the market now are just desperately asking absurdly high prices as if to cash out at what may be the last gasp of this crazy market, before things continue to calm down…
Seriously though…zillow is known to be off by a few thousand. Let’s give it the benefit of the doubt and say it can be off by a few HUNDRED THOUSAND.
But it says the house is worth 852K and they are asking 1.7 million.
Now come on people…you bought this in 2004 for 640K…Even 852K would be a nice profit, but people have gotten so FREAKIN GREEDY. And this is the poster child for greedy homeowners.
People should be appalled that someone would try to gain a 1 million dollar profit in 4 years.
THIS is why the market has gone crazy. It’s not just the brokers people. These people are FSBO, don’t forget!!!
Greedy people come in all walks of life.
I would like to go to the open house just to give them a piece of my mind. If I could even find the damn place…
I don’t get Stoner’s love for this one… it’s got new floors and new sheetrock. Baths look not so hot, kitchen is not high end. Like someone above said, get rid of the nice furniture and you’re not left with anything exciting.
“gross ghetto people there.”
AND BY THAT YOU MEAN BLACK PEOPLE.”
No, you idiot, the poster meant poor, loud, tacky, gross people who hang out on the street all day and night annoying everyone. I know this is probably too complex for your feable brain to grap, but hating poor ghetto trash is not about race. Obama can hang on my stoop anytime he wants!
FWIW, isn’t there a huge housing project about 6-7 blocks from this place?
