House of the Day: 520 11th Street

Did anyone make it to the open house at 520 11th Street last weekend? The three-story brick house has lots of character on the inside but it is only three stories and not in the ritziest part of Park Slope. As a result, we’re hard pressed to see how anyone’s going to cough up the $2,250,000 asking price for this baby. Waddya think?

I saw this place on Sunday.
The owners are very nice people, but truly delusional with that asking price. The details are all a bit strange (faux marble painted molding, faux brick looking facade) I think the selling price should probably be around 1.3
Anyways, good luck to them!
The photos are a complete joke. I recall a FSBO in Williamsburg that was a HOTD about a month or so back—there were about 25-30 photos showing the place, and it looked great. That’s how you sell a place, or at least create a buzz.
What do you think is going to happen when a couple with (or without) kids come by to look at this “Compl Renov” townhouse and the place looks like crap? (Well, why else would there not be photos?) Noklissa may have nailed it: this place is overpriced by about $750K.
Let the guy ask what he wants. If he gets asking god bless . You people! really.
This listing is a joke. Not real.
No need to react to asking (wishing) prices. The market has turned. Submit your lower (saner) bid and smile. Don’t be ‘scurrred’.
It’s time for delusional sellers to fret about “low” bids.
I’ve been to basically every open house in the neighborhood similar to this, and I chose to skip this one because the price was absurd and there were no pics. I guess price would not be so bad if I did not suspect there were $400k in renovations to do.
I honestly think, 1:49, that they view the Koi pond as a positive feature.
Man. They probably have recessed lighting too. 😉
The house next door, with exception of conspicuous window unit AC’s, is quite lovely. Seeing the two side by side further detracts from the HOTD.

1:53 – That would make sense, since these owners are clearly full of it.
