Last Week's Biggest Sales
Last week three of the priciest residential sales were in the Slope, though each one tells a slightly different story: 1st Street went for a whole lot more than ask; Garfield Place changed hands for quite a bit less than its original price tag, $2.5 mil; and 60 St. Marks closed $200K shy of ask….

re first street sale. the joint across the street everyone was bitching about a month or so ago looks like a bargain now. this block is mint.
there are no “lesser” properties in nyc, 12:37.
the properties in trouble are the tree-less acres of mcmansions in the sprawling suburbs of anytown, usa.
…..5 bucks ‘the what’ believes in aliens.
The multi-million-dollar market is great. Most of the buyers do not need a mortgage, or their parents own a bank. But lesser properties are in trouble.
it computes to me.
houses like this need to find the right buyer.
this one took 15 months.
The 1st Street house was on the market for 15 months, and then sold for $400K above ask. That doesn’t really compute, does it?
“I totally disagree – the garfield home sold for $330 per square foot – simply because of some easily fixable layout issues – whoever bought that house got a great deal.”
Nice broker math. Floorplate is 980 sf, the bumpout 120 sf. Three stories (you gonna live in the English basement, really? — not legally), so I get 3,300 sf, not the crazy 5,600 sf claimed by the broker. That works out to more like $560/sf. Maybe a good deal, but hardly a steal if the owner plans to convert the apartments into something less dicey.
I also love how the broker labeled all of the interior, windowless rooms “sleep areas.” For shame.
I thought someone said that the only reason someone bought that georgeous Berkeley Place house for 3.4 million was because it was BEFORE the credit crunch.
Well now here is one for 3.6 million…400K over ask AFTER the credit crunch.
No comments on that?
Thank you also to the person who pointed out that so many people made negative comments about St. Marks.
I loved that house and glad to see it sold for a great price.
i don’t need a great deal on a house.
i own a beautiful one in park slope already.
i’m not saying the garfield house is a shitshow, i’m jus saying that it would be nice to rebrick the front, to make all of the match, add new cornice, windows etc, which is probably another 200K.
still a good deal, sure but this was bought to be converted to condos, most likely, so doubt they will do any of those said improvements.
