House of the Day: 162 Bergen Street
We’re not sure how we’ve managed to not discuss 162 Bergen Street yet, given that it’s been on the market since October of last year. Despite not selling for more than six months, the price has remained constant at $2,300,000. While hardly a give-away, we’re actually a little surprised that there hasn’t been one buyer…
We’re not sure how we’ve managed to not discuss 162 Bergen Street yet, given that it’s been on the market since October of last year. Despite not selling for more than six months, the price has remained constant at $2,300,000. While hardly a give-away, we’re actually a little surprised that there hasn’t been one buyer out there who’s fallen in love and been willing to meet the ask. After all, this place has tons o’ charm and is in a hot location. What’s the catch? Does it need more work than the photos suggest?

None of the areas you mention, 4:53 are in Park Slope.
“Bococa” as you so lovingly refer to it, is, however riddled with projects.
Boreum Hill has two major ones, in fact.
4:53: What “Kids” do you speak of?
Do you mean the ones walking back to the projects in Boerum Hill?
“2:42 is a liar”
no he’s not.
2:14 Park Slope is not near the projects right? Well what do you call all Of Eastern Parkway? and how about the other side of Prospect Park what would you call that? Ohh and wait what about those wonderful Kids walking thru Park slope after school. That said I would rather Live In BH or Bococa any day over Park Slope. Nothing but Haters on this site.
2:42 is a liar! He can call other people idiots for posting facts and make up his own but anybody who has tried to get a 30 fixed Jumbo the past couple of months know that the rates are high and going higher. If you need 1.5 mill fixed fo 30 you are paying at leat 7 percent. 2:42 is not facing reality.
4:26, happy with your life choices? In news from planet Earth, many extremely talented artists lived in life-long poverty; and many marginal neighborhoods have been made palatable to the bourgeoisie by artists willing to live in them first, who then get –unfairly, in my view –priced out.
For the record, I’ve made a ton of money in finance and own real estate, so save your juvenile epithets; but one final observation: for all the “bitter renter” talk, it sure seems to me that the edge has slowly crept out of the nay-sayers voices, and into the over-stretched owners and the always-hideous brokers. If I had bought RE ten years ago in brownstone Brooklyn, had made millions in unrealized capital gains, were totally happy with my urban existence, and rock-solid in my finances, I’m not sure why I would come on here and yowl “angry renter” every time someone pointed out a house appeared overpriced.
1:53 you are a piece of Crap I know you live in Park slope because that is where all the bashers Live or maybe you are from New Jersey. Great house very nice location. If not sold already then it will sell soon.
Exactly 4:30…lots of BS thrown around here….
I am wondering exactly what are the banks you people who say you’re getting the low 30-yr fixed jumbo rates from. Is this with points? We have great credit (and a big down payment) and are being quoted well over 7% everywhere. Can someone name names please? otherwise I call bs.
