  1. Funny how you move the goal posts, Brooklyn Love. Back in Jan 08 when this was HOTD, you wrote:

    pretty much nothing going at below 3 mill on this block anymore. that cherry popped in these parts years ago. have a look at the sales data.

    I didn’t hear you talking about all the work needed back then…

  2. Well, perhaps no one is reading anymore (another super busy day at work) but I find it fascinating to read the original HOTD comments on 1st St, including those by folks who thought 3 mil was a bargain, and of course it would sell at 3mil+ yadda yadda.

  3. 1st street place realistically needs $750K-$1mill of work so add that fig to the selling price and you have the original asking range.

    contrast with the place up the block that was in good condition and sold a few weeks ago for north of 3.5. this block hasn’t lost a step.

  4. 25 Willow Place
    What am I missing? From Google StreeView it seems in ok shape. Facade looks ok, same with windows and cornice.

    It’s the lot right next to the big warehouse building, right?

    $700k on renovation and you have a 4-story townhouse in Brooklyn Heights for under $2 million.

  5. DOPE, STFU – that’s the kind of exchange you want, my pleasure to serve it up to you. STFU STFU. guess only reason you cant STFU is cause you got no $$$ where your loud mouth is.
