House of the Day: 144 Underhill Avenue
This 4-story, 23-foot wide brownstone at 144 Underhill Avenue is a beauty but it’s priced as if it were on the other side of Flatbush Avenue. The more we look at the photos of this place, the more we like it—the woodwork, the multiple exposures, the old extension. (Don’t forget the two-car garage.) It all…
This 4-story, 23-foot wide brownstone at 144 Underhill Avenue is a beauty but it’s priced as if it were on the other side of Flatbush Avenue. The more we look at the photos of this place, the more we like it—the woodwork, the multiple exposures, the old extension. (Don’t forget the two-car garage.) It all adds up to one heck of a place. We just don’t think the market’s ready to bear a $2,750,000 asking price in this location yet.

Agreed 8:57.
i’m not saying it’s the case, but i’m reminded in the post above…if a lot of people from manhattan have never even heard of prospect heights, doesn’t that kinda make it slightly fringe-like?
This asking price is not just “high”. It’s pretty ridiculous given the comps in more expensive neighborhoods.
8:55: look at the google map above and zoom out to get a perspective.
This house, in this location is not worth a dime over 1.75 million.
Period.
Even then, it’s no bargain.
Where is Prospect Heights? I’ve seriously never heard of it…

The ASKING PRICE is high, yes. But sellers realize that all buyers are going to bargain down, so they inflate the price to try to get a better SALE PRICE. Some may argue this approach, which is certainly fair, but assuming that a house will sell at or above ask is very 2005.
Overpriced by quite a bit for this location. Period.
First I must apologize to the Kurds – I knew it was some museum of people massacred by the Tu… oh now I will have to apologize to someone else. And when houses like this were costing 400k in Park Slope apartments in Manhattan were going for 185k, so I don’t really understand the point. The amount of personal offense people take about people plastering high prices on houses in “undeserving” neighborhoods is simply bizarre. Either it sells or it doesn’t. No morality or justice involved at all.
