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?

A Shift in Real Estate Books
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/09/business/media/09foreclosure.html
A few years ago, when the housing market was white-hot, companies that publish how-to books were tripping over themselves to pump out titles about buying property and making money in the real estate business.
Past the crack pipe….
The What
Someday this war is gonna end….
way too high.
I swear to god I think they might be close to a million off. I’m not being facetious here.
Only as an example, compare it to that adorable wood house on Cumberland a few weeks back listed at 1.995, which was larger, had more character and a better location. Not to say Fort Greene and South Slope are more than apples to oranges. But my god.
just sayin’.
what the picture doesn’t show is that at the rear of the property there are horse stables, an in ground swimming pool, tennis courts, and a trout stream.
1:49- That isn’t a koi pond- that’s the picture of the bathroom that you were looking for.
Is this some reality tv come on? like the place a completely blah place on the market for a zillion dollars and then see what insane people show up?
I think the city should lose the mansion tax and instead impose a flip tax on sellers. 3% of profit and then a step-down every 5 years of residency.
Here we go again with the conspicuously absent photographs of the kitchens and bathrooms. If you’re going to claim “high income” apartment and “completely reno’d”, then you’d better show me the goods. Grossly overpriced and way out of touch with the reality of north vs. south slope prices.
And they surely can’t imagine that anyone in this economy is going to be delighted by the prospect of maintaining a koi pond, right?
yesterdays place was 2mil and much nicer.
That is like the least amount of effort and information made on any real estate listing ever.
I’d be surprised if anybody showed up at that open house. Except maybe some neighbors on the block out of curiosity.
