178-8th-Avenue-0509.jpg
This house at 178 8th Avenue in Park Slope is beautiful. It’s configured nicely. It’s been updated. It’s in a prime location. Great stuff. The price of $2,995,000, however, seems hopelessly out of touch. Maybe the stock market rally of the past few weeks emboldened the sellers to put a higher price tag on it than they would have at the beginning of the year but we just don’t think a house in Park Slope is going to fetch $3 million these days unless less it’s a unique mansion. And, as nice as this place is, it’s a relatively common brownstone. There’s an open house on Sunday from 1 to 3 if you want to check it out.

  1. Is it open season again on commenting and entering a number in the price widget?

    From yesterday, seems you’re not allowed a low number, lest you be called clueless and ignorant by brownstoner.

    Maybe it’s just he’s especially touchy when it’s Clinton Hill, or perhaps if he’s helping out a friend who needs to sell

    Brownstoner programmer to-do list:
    – banning that person who always submits the max – ask+40%
    – take gemini10’s suggestion and change the max to 100K over the asking price and that’s it
    – if the property is in Clinton Hill change the minimum to 100K under ask to avoid offending Mr. B, otherwise a lowball number is fair game

  2. also the second floor should have two bathrooms.
    nice house, terrific location. i would guess 2.4 million.
    if it sells.
    are there still people out there looking for 2.4 million dollar houses? I mean people not looking to buy near their shul?
