House of the Day: 304 Union Street
Today’s House of the Day at 304 Union Street in Carroll Gardens is particularly interesting in light of yesterday’s GMAP P*Shark Open House Picks 11/4/2005 [Brownstoner]
Today’s House of the Day at 304 Union Street in Carroll Gardens is particularly interesting in light of yesterday’s discussion about declining prices. We had it as an Open House Pick in November 2005 when it was listed for $1,850,000; it ultimately sold for $1,700,000 in May 2006, and the new owner clearly went to town on the renovation. It’s charmingly done (love those slightly rough original floorboards in the parlor) but the big question is whether it merits the marked-up price of $4,150,000.

So October 16th was the “what” call for some sort of collapse? That guy’s crazy…..What a bitter renter….disaffected old school brooklynite….what a tool…..the guy’s an idiot….housing will always rise in this city…valuations are low…get your gentrification on….
this HOTD is an absolute steal, and by around 2045, this thing should probably be worth asking….unless we become like zimbabwe and inflate our way out of spending too much, working too little, saving negative percentages of income, and spending a million dollars to live in bedford-gothams….just wait till the layoffs hit bed-stuy and all those new neighborhoods will go back to being plain old “do or die”….i’m now probably swimming underwater myself now….thanks to all you freaking tools and your run amok friends on wall street….thanks a lot guys……the what is fool…..this thing will never fall apart
100.

Japan RE is a bad comparison… they have no immigration and negative population growth. Therefore RE demand is falling. OTOH we have increased immigration and population growth which is a good sign for RE in the long term…
PVC can be used for soil pipe in up to a three floor/2 family…it cannot be used in a four floor/three family or larger….this is a four floor 2 family and probably needs cast iron just based on the number of floors.
NO, this is not a crash qkw; nowhere near anything that would define a crash. This is a correction in the stock market followed by a hell of a lot of volatility but we are no where near a real crash which would be 7% unemployment, a stock market down 50% from its high and all other sorts of shit to use the professional phrase.
Jingles can you please educate us on RTC in simple terms? Sorry we are not as well versed in the intricacies of finance as you & DIBS seem to be… just a lowly scientist here.
Whuh- the what was almost entirely correct in his predictions about Wall street and even RE but there was NO NEED for his constant invective and schizophrenic rants. He made his comments into personal attacks most of the time filled with despicable language. We think this is why Mr B banished him … the whole ASShat thing was pretty funny though.
They are off their rockers. Given that it’s only medium-sized and the reality of today’s market, they’d have a less than 50% chance of getting that price even on the best blocks in Brooklyn Heights or Park Slope. No way on Union Street.
Le prix est incroyable et stupide 🙂
Hey 11217 why don’t you suggest our more unique and beautiful mansions here in Clinton Hill to your boss? You know like that awesome Clinton St HOTD from last week ( Brooklyn Properties). She will get a better bang for her buck and it may even fit the artsy personality:) But i have to agree the vibe in Cobble Hill & / CG is slowly approximating that of the UWS so maybe….
DIBS a lot of the fancy apts in Paris (16th district & Champs Elysee area) have claw feet tubs that work really nice with the overall decor / vibe. But I agree it seems a touch “tacky” in this OVERPRICED house for some reason.
Rational pricing is good. We can all agree on that. I know you don’t wish me death and destruction but certainly the former poster whose name need not be mentioned certainly did, on a daily basis. If you come out in support of this persons posts you must take some responsibility for the content of them.
You and I haven’t been reading the same blog. I don’t wish death and destruction on anyone. What I’d like is for rational pricing to return to both the securities industry and real estate. Some fairy tale by Paulson about how this will bring down the world to the contrary, we will be a lot better off when the hype artists at Corcoran and Goldman lose their credibility.
In the meantime –I say this place is worth 60 million by 2018, easy. My good friend on the UWS –in the arts! –is interested; and boy is she savvy; plus she’s got Euro denominated currency. She’d like to pay an even eight for it, to “pay it forward,” as it were. Better hurry, before she snaps it up!
