When 168 Midwood Street was first featured as a House of the Day over a year ago, it was a FSBO asking $1,350,000. At the time we wrote, “It’s got a nice feel to it, which is good because the owner is trying to sell it for almost double what she paid in 2004.” The consensus among commenters was that it was overpriced (and that she needed to invest in some decent photographs), a view that has proven to be on-the-money as the house has languished on the market. The owner finally gave the listing to Corcoran in March, where it’s been sitting with its still-too-high price tag of $1,250,000 since. What’s it gonna take to move this house?

House of the Day: 168 Midwood Street [Brownstoner]
It’s a beautiful house and the bathrooms are nice – also has a nice yard. Definitely overpriced though.
I thought the what’s posts were rather repetitive and not really at all interesting. I just skipped them.
I think so.
Beautiful interior, but doesn’t that price need to come way down? Say, below the magic million dollar mark?
Really? I come here every day many times. I’m interested.
Bring back the What!
He was the only thing halfway interesting about this site.
Brownstoner himself hardly ever posts and rarely provides his own opinion on anything, unless it’s his distaste for recessed lighting or Federer air conditioners in historic brownstone.
If you like this part of Brooklyn, this looks like a terrific house. I really like the covenants on these blocks that prevent the houses from being chopped-up boarding house style.
…or maybe a more realistic seller and a buyer less cynical that you people.
“What’s it gonna take to move this house?”
Three quarters off or no more gun-toting jealous husbands.
