12:34,
I think 12:13 was referring to the seller, not the buyer. I don’t think the seller lived in the house. I have no opinion as to the overall quality of the reno. The big, airy top floor bedroom was quite nice, but the living spaces were a bit broken up and the kitchen small. I also thought the heavy red stain on the old floors was a bit too much — natural might have looked better. I am slightly shocked at the price, given lack of income and the size and location of the house, but I’m happy to have the nearby comp in case I ever need financing or a refi.
12:46 – Maybe but unless you actually work in the apartment (dedicated space) it is tax fraud – and even then you can only write off the ‘office’ space – again if you want to be legal.
Also check Acris – the guy got a 1.9M mortgage – so much for a mortgage crisis.
The BH condo could be bought by a sole proprietor/lawyer etc.–owner rents space to his company/self and lives there or vice versa. Only way it makes sense.
12:21 – I do not disagree on the house v. condo – but the apartment in question is not a house – it is beautiful – but is relatively (to a full house) small – the 1st 2 floors are all essentially open and since it only has one set of windows it can not be easily divided and the top floor has 3 rel small bedrooms – no views, limited outdoor space and is right on Dean St – so everyone who turns to avoid Atlantic Ave traffic is looking right in your living room.
2.4M is an insanely high price to pay and shows that the market is stronger then people are suggesting.
Wow. That Boerum Hill condo was an astonishingly bad job. You’d have to pay me to live there. Either those buyers are crazy or this market is.
12:13 –
You are absolutely nuts. I live on this block and know the people who live in that South Slope house.
What you say is 100% untrue.
Wow, we are SHOCKED at the price of the Clinton Hill house. We live several blocks away on Greene and that house is right next to a bus stop with a Chinese take out place 3 or 4 places away. And it is right across from a school…….makes absolutely no sense to us in any way, and quite honestly, we should be thrilled b/c of the comps with our property.
So where are all the 50% drop in housing prices all the doom and gloom posters keep promising?
12:13 writes..”The house in the South Slope is not worth the almost 1.8 Million that the buyer paid for it.”
Apparently it was. Such a stupid statement.
We’re getting dumbed down here with all these New York magazine guests
