383-3rd-Street-0508.jpg
While not as jaw-dropping as last Thursday’s House of the Day at 651 3rd Street, today’s house at 383 3rd Street is still nothing to sniff at. The 22-footer has lots of original detail, including some sweet plaster moldings on the parlor floor. The kitchen in the owner’s triplex looks so-so, but the bathroom looks nice to us. With $2,000 a month from rent on the ground-floor apartment, do you think the asking price of $2,695,000? Seems overpriced by 10 percent or so to us.

  1. A shell? Doesn’t look like it was a shell. Maybe it was just old and needs updating. I’m guessing it needs more than this house will, but from the outside it certainly doesn’t appear to be a shell.

  2. Speaking of…Brown Harris Stevens is DOUBLING the size of their Park Slope/7th Street location. The sign is already up and the store next to it has already moved next door to make room.

    Seems that would indicate they aren’t doing too badly, even in this market…

  3. Corcoran doesn’t do much in the way of posting properties listed as in contract. They just dissappear from the website after a while. That’s really the only difference.

    BHS is great about updating their website with that info.

  4. Curious to know why Corcoran consistently lists houses at such inflated prices? If you look at their list sheet vs. Brown Harris Stevens, nothing is in contract. Does Brown Harris Stevens start high too and then convince sellers to negotiate? I know several buyers who have made reasonable houses on corcoran listings (10% below ask)and sellers have not even countered. Brown Harris listings seem to move to contractmore quickly. Anyone in the know?
