House of the Day: 146 6th Avenue
Here’s a big ole brownstone on the nicest stretch of 6th Avenue that just hit the market—for the first time since 1979!

Here’s a big ole brownstone on the nicest stretch of 6th Avenue that just hit the market—for the first time since 1979! The five-story house at 146 6th Avenue in Park Slope has 4,700 square feet of space according to the listing (Property Shark says 5,100) but “needs tlc.” The only photo provided, of an antique marble sink, suggests that it needs a lot of tlc, as does the fact that it hasn’t changed owners in almost three decades. Still, could be a killer pad. How do you think the asking price of $2,750,000 will fly?

true but you dont need to zoom to see the size of the yards of the homes towards the middle.
spend wisely.
There is a small backyard.
if you zoom the google map it does seem to have backyard.
corner house = no back yrd
7:37 – have you looked at any closed sales recently? Sellers are indeed accepting offers 100K under ask, and sometimes well below that. Browse the recent archives on this blog and you will find evidence that you are just wrong. Also – many properties are simply hacking their prices by several 100K – I this happening increasingly to overpriced properties. Again – look on this list. While Brownstoner may be guilty of highlighting overpriced properties often on this blog, at least he (sometimes) also featured the subsequent price cuts that had to ensue – either because the sellers dropped their price, or because they caved in and accepted a much lower offer. But I don’t think Brownstoner is showing this anywhere near as much as it’s happening. In a few cases, some sellers just say the hell with it and take their place off the market (this happened to a huge brownstone on 5th St in PS that was asking 2.2 and lingered for months) but you have to be in a position where you can afford to do that – or, roll the dice and assume it’s going to get better sometime soon – which is may not. Sure, real estate always go up in the long run, but let’s not forget 1989-1995. The prewar condo building where I live lost much of its value then (it went condo in 1988) and it took nearly 10 years to climb back to its original value.
7:55, you’re just delusional. Sellers are NOT accepting $100k off the asking price. And brokers aren’t the ones who “overprice”–it’s the owners. and the idiots who pay the prices. It’s CAPITALISM AT WORK
“sellers are not accepting offers 100k under asking price” ? ? are you even living in the same country as the rest of us? or are you just mad?
I love how everyone says “its overpriced”, “it will never sell”, “drop the price $100K and maybe I will consider”….yet all these listings sell and I am SURE owners are not accepting offers $100K under their asking price.
Also as soon as someone says “I heard their are offers”..everyone has to chime in and say that their aren’t any offers etc…..what gives?!!
I used to live down the block from this house, and when I last saw the inside, there were acres of plastic sheathing sealing off rooms torn down to the beams. It’s a full gut job.
