Wow, I loved the 8 Grace Court Alley carriage house. Buyer got a decent deal, which makes sense because it was probably an all-cash deal (no mortgage recored on ACRIS). The other “dream” house that I enjoyed viewing at the open house in early-May was 280 Hicks Street. There’s something about carriage houses that exudes charm and holds a definite attraction for many people, myself included. Good luck to the new owner of 8 Grace Court Alley: you’ve got an incredible house!

Miss Muffet has the brazen honestly to complain that NYC real estate prices are crazy.
For that, she should be commended.
And yet she’s consistently well below what things sell for.
Commended for being wrong????
Pigeon,
That’s silly. Most people in NYC would agree that real estate prices are sky high. And it’s certainly nothing new. My neighbor who bought her place in 1989 was just telling me last night that when she bought her place, everyone thought she was nuts for spending so much. And it’s worth 15 times what it was then.
Nothing Miss Muffet says is news. If she finds everything crappy and overpriced for her budget, then don’t buy anything. Maybe part of the reason she hasn’t bought after 2 years of looking is because she has unrealistic expectations of the market and properties.

And I know exactly
…
No, actually, you don’t know exactly. No one does. You’re just a human (presumably) like the rest of us; none of us can foresee the future.
I realize you’re not exactly striving for credibility around here (its more like theater of the absurd), but the the absolute platitudes don’t help your cause in the least.

The only thing I see smoking is your wife b/c she’s upset that you’ve missed an opportunity to buy and now prices are going up.
You’re in big trouble. The abuse you get here will pale in comparison to spousal abuse from her!!!!
“the market has gone UP”
In smoke!
***Bid half off peak comps***
“So wait, what’s the “peak comp” for the 3rd Street house?”
Hard to say, but for a 4 unit rental building, 2.25 million seems about on target.
“Then it’s not inventory.”
Ah! But it is SHADOW inventory! Cross that bridge when you get there? Oh wait – It’s the Tacoma Narrows!
