Wow, back then there sure was a lot of skepticism that it would go for $1.8ml never mind $2.1ml.
BTW, Garfield was HOTD on August 21.
2.3M was an overreach for 86 Garfield. But I don’t think it selling for $2M is a sign of weakening market at all–in fact, if it didn’t look great inside, then it’s a sign of the opposite. No way a smallish brownstone near 5th Avenue would have got $2M a year or so ago. I would have guessed $1.8M, tops, for it.
86 Garfield Place was a dump. Looked like a cheap abused rental townhouse inside. I don’t think it even had it’s top pediment intact. Vinyl windows, needed lots of work.
Surprised in went for over $2 million but as I own nearby I’m not complaining.
i agree. 2 million is a great place for a small, cute house needing work.
people who claim that this price signals a softening of the park slope market have no idea what the hell they are talking about.
small house for 2 million people.
that’s a lotta money for a house that needs a few hundred thousand in upgrades.
Mr. NewYawker, why don’t you just avoid the site and you won’t have to post.
In this market, that is a heroic price for a 3-story.
Unbelievable! The people on this site are incredulous. 86 Garfield was a HOTD and everyone thought it was way overpriced. Now that it sold for less than ask, everyone can’t believe that it went that low and thinks the market is crashing.
Bottom Line – this site only brings on negativity, pessimism and bitching.
50 Lefferts Ave was NOT on the market for 20 weeks — more like one month. It was 20 weeks before the sale actually closed, mostly due to conflicting attorneys’ vacation schedules over the summer — it closed in July.
