1. PARK SLOPE $2,190,000
599 5th Street GMAP (left)
House of the Day writeup on this one in February went as follows: “This new listing at 599 5th Street will be an interesting barometer of the market. It’s a beautiful limestone house on a park block that’s got tons of detail and is in excellent shape; it’s the kind of place that should have almost universal appeal. We also like the fact that the two-story extension solves the perennial problem of how to fit the kitchen on the parlor floor. The asking price is $2,400,000.” Entered into contract on 5/6/09; closed on 6/29/09; deed recorded on 7/6/09.

not sure how accurate Streeteasy is. The above unit (11B)in OPP is listed on Streeteasy as being back “In Contract” even though there is a deed recorded.

What projects in Clinton Hill??? Sam…tsk tsk tsk.
re: dumbo condo…..
Last sale on that ‘C’ line on 11th floor sold for $902 sq ft
last year. 4 floors lower sold for $843 sq ft now.
Of course, can never tell what upgrades have been done in either one, but 7% lower price – yet it is lower floor.
Right, when a narrow house comes up on some forsaken block near the Gowanus Canal or by the projects in Clinton Hill, you can refer to the 5th Street example and make the case that narrow houses in Brooklyn sell for about 2.2 million.
just remember the over $2m price for 5th street – whenever a ‘narrow’ house comes on the block.
Park Slope house had a few things going for it:
-It’s a limestone (commands a premium).
-It was in perfect condition–a very tasteful renovation had been recently completed. Absolutely nothing needed to be done. It was beautiful. Stunning woodwork in excellent condition.
(Also, I believe it’s on the side of the street that’s zoned for 321.)
I’m honestly not sure how StreetEasy works, Biff. My broker has told me that the firms have some sort of agreement or contract with StreetEasy, and I had thought that individual brokers had something to do with getting their new listings added, though I may well be wrong. It’s strange, though, that one broker’s listings in a building did not appear on StreetEasy, but another broker’s listings, in the same firm and in the same building, did appear.
CarrollGardened, agreed that Streeteasy is a great site to find the information bklyn11238 is looking for.
Regarding your comment “brokers don’t always add apartments to StreetEasy as soon as they’re listed.”: I didn’t think brokers listed anything directly on Streeteasy. I thought Streeteasy (like Natefind and the others) culled the listings, search-engine style, directly from the various brokerage sites. I didn’t think individual brokers had anything to do with it.
it will be interesting to see what the Meier trade will look like 5 years from now…seems relatively reasonable but only time will tell…
