Just Sold! [NY Post]
That’s a Henry Radusky Bricolage “designed building” His stuff is really crap. I heard that many of the units have problems with things like roof leaks. If the outside looks and smells like crap, then I bet the inside tastes like crap. I bet it was bought by someone as an investment, and they have no plans to live there. The c of o must have taken for ever to get since he’s being investigated for fraud, and the DoB red flags everything with his name on it.
Don’t know why these sales took that long.
But June 28th House of the Day looks like in contract already – one that many pooh-poohed as
facing housing projects in Boerum Hill/small/needing major work.
In response to the “Slope” listing:
Hm, I would guess that there are SO MANY new condos out there, that now people can be choosy.
I recently purchased a new condo on the edge of Brooklyn Heights/Cobble Hill/Downtown, and have concerns about that when I think about reselling years down the road. What makes the condo I bought, better or different than any other new one that is sure to go up?
In my specific case, we think the location differentiates it…. land is pretty scarce where we are since much of the area is historic, and from all the former parking lots have risen buildings. we’re a 10-min walk to the Heights promenade, around the corner from restaurant row on Smith Street, have the 2-3-4-5-R-F-A-C-G trains all within a 4-block radius, tons of shopping, young families, etc etc I could go on…. We *love* our new home.
My long-winded point is…. maybe this Slope condo was crap building, AND crap location.
(Before I get flamed about how all the new condos are crap anyway, hubby and I had no desire at this point in our lives to renovate anything… we wanted ease and convenience and get our feet wet in the market, as this was our first purchase).
I would bet that part of has to do with people no longer dying to buy something just to get into the market – they are starting to realize that crappy stuff is crappy stuff and maybe not worth their hard-earned dollars!
This is a very interesting collection of listings. They contradict the widely accepted notion that all NYC real estate is hot and snapped up immediately.
However, as I scrolled down through this list and saw how long these properties had been on the market (East Flatbush: 5-1/2 months; Marine Park: 175 days; Old Mill Basin: 350 days), I was getting ready for the Park Slope property to have been on the market for, oh, I don’t know … two weeks? Maybe three? It was sobering to see that it had, in fact, been on the market for 6-1/2 months. Not everything in Park Slope sells during its first open house! But then I realized that this building on Dean Street (between 4th and 5th Avenues) is not really in Park Slope (it’s more like Boerum Hill), and it’s that crappy new building they put up recently on what had been an empty lot. Has anybody been inside? Just judging from the outside, I’m assuming the finishes are cheap and sloppy. Why else did it take so long to sell?
