After selling in 2006 for $1,625,000, the brick house at 202 Clermont Avenue in Fort Greene came on the market again in March 2009 with Brooklyn Properties at a price of $1,725,000. In May of last year, the asking price was trimmed to $1,675,000, and in September the listing moved to Corcoran at a slightly enhanced price of $1,695,000. Well, that didn’t work too well, and the price had a couple of small reductions last fall, followed by another increase (!) in February, bringing it back to $1,675,000. (You following?) Last week, the price was cut by 7 percent to $1,550,000. Exhausting! What’s the right number?

House of the Day: 202 Clermont Avenue [Brownstoner]
Dave, what’s wrong with the buildings across the street and which corner are you talking about that has potential for development.
On a side note, this block is 10 times nicer than your block, so i don’t see why you complain so much about the block.
Considering the ask is already below the 2006 sale price, don’t know how much further the sellers should go. This seems like a pretty good price for a pretty nice house. Subway access not great but not terrible either (and Dave don’t go bashing the G train which is the train I take the most these days to go Park Slope, Williamsburg etc). Park is three blocks away. Hard for me to quibble with much on this listing at least in terms of price.
Very nice details. Not a huge fan of the locale but you could do worse.
I think buyers are turned off by the buildings across the street and what the potential is for the development on the next corner. You don’t want to own what may be the nicest house on the street.
Why are there two kitchens?
I visited this one, oh a year ago or so. Maybe i’m a bit picky, but it felt hemmed in between the corner house at 204 and the new construction condos on the block. Otherwise, it’s a nice rowhouse, a bit formal/cold for my taste.
Given the recent sale of 190 Clermont for $1,430,000, the sellers just need to find someone who has their taste. I think they should have put their asking price below M$1.5 to attract more interest.
With all this back and forth pricing, doesn’t deserve to sell at any number.
F*ck You Brokers! You don’t deserve the commission on this listing for being idiots about the pricing.
Love the architectural detail, the kitchen and the bathrooms (which need frameless glass shower enclosures).
Don’t like what looks to be engineered flooring.
Don’t like the location. Too far from subways (the G is not a real subway, either).
Seems like the right number is below all of the other numbers. $1.45 mil?
