House of the Day: 615 2nd Street Revisited
The owners of 615 2nd Street gave selling their Park Slope limestone a go last year but packed it in after six months when the $3,495,000 asking price proved to much for the market to bear. Now the house is back on the market with a new price tag of $2,950,000. It’s a great house…
The owners of 615 2nd Street gave selling their Park Slope limestone a go last year but packed it in after six months when the $3,495,000 asking price proved to much for the market to bear. Now the house is back on the market with a new price tag of $2,950,000. It’s a great house to be sure but, as we noted last time around, the kitchen finishes seem a little out of place. What do you think the market-clearing price is on this baby?

And your point is????
Since March 6, 2009 (the bottom) the S&P is + 62% while gold is up 16.9%.
That was the only point I was making. And as a journalist (????) you distort the facts.
tybur6, agreed
Why hasn’t Andrew Cuomo investigated the anti-competitive nature of NY real estate brokerage? Why is it so hard for discount brokerages to establish themselves in pricey new york neighborhoods?
Dear DIBS and Stevie — I don’t think this conversation is very fruitful… I think you should focus on my diatribe on why Realtors are lazy, money grubbing dumbasses. It’s much more appropriate to this thread!
Thanks very much. Tybur6
it is wrong to cherry pick a certain period where equities outperformed gold; the fact of the matter is US equities has gone no where for 8 years. Perma bulls need to take responsibility for the sh*t that they spew on here. people could get hurt if they get influenced by what they read on here.
f*ckers!
>>And yet from the March bottom, the stock market has gone up more than gold.
You have missed a HUGE opportunity, BHO.

And at what price did you start buying, stevie??? Or are you only writing about it??
BHO was right about investing in gold yesterday; GOLD is up 25% on the year while the SPX index is up only 20.5%. Moreover, GOLD was up last year as well while the SPX was in the crapper. GOLD has been up 9 years in a row (+415%) while the SPX is back to the same level in 2001 and below 2000.
I hate it when perma bulls try to talk up equities.
By the way… Our friend Libby at BHS Realty has 3 properties “in contract” right now for a total of around $7.2 million. That’s a commission income in the ballpark of, what, $180,000?
With a total of 15 pictures – that’s $12,000 per photo. But, of course, you can’t discount the 3 beautiful paragraphs of prose that she conjured up. So, let’s call it $10,000 per “creative” element. Not bad, eh?
For me, the commute is an essential ingredient of the move to Brooklyn because I gave up a 5 minute walk to work when I was in Manhattan.
Right now, it’s a 4-5 minute walk to the subway and a 12-15 minute ride to get to manhattan…to get up to my office, all in, door-to-door is usually 40-45 minutes.
The F rain takes far longer from most spots that are residential and south of Atlantic Ave.
Additionally, what I considered was why pay an additional $600,000-800,000 just to be a few stops closer (2 exactly…saving about 3 minutes) by living in Boerum Hill or Ft Greene on the A/C line.
Tybur–I was about to post in agreement with you on that one.
