Well, here’s something you don’t see every day. This “preconstruction” four-family flip with no photos of the actual interior — “pictures shown for finishes only” — is located in Bed Stuy and priced at $2,400,000. The seller proposes to equip it with central air, stainless steel appliances, and quartz counters and create three floor-through rentals under an owner’s duplex. That’s only possible, of course, if the house has five stories, which the listing says it does, although the photo shows only four, including the hidden story on the top. PropertyShark says it has three. (PropertyShark also says it’s a two-family, not a four.) In any case, is the market really moving this fast?

  1. Alan Dixon: ” it looks pretty cheap. Whenever a market is moving that fast there is stress and risk. We’ve got a diversified portfolio. We think Bed Stuy prices in hindsight will look very cheap — unless something fundamentally goes wrong with the city. There’s no reason why Bed Stuy won’t end up as nice as Park Slope and just as expensive.”
