Prospect Place house does have garden access for owners. It’s in good shape. Lots of wrecks in the area have gone for much much more. I would buy it but am in the middle of a truly horrible gut renovation job elsewhere. This house has better bones and a better location than the one I got. Oh well. You live and learn.
I saw the house on Marlborough Road. It is at least 100K overpriced, as it is on the tracks and needs updating.
Indeed, someone went to an open house and did not buy it? Hard to believe. Positive comments are always posted by agents.
Also, it’s very hard to judge pricing in this market. To say that a house went over $800,000 earlier this year is not necessarily an argument for present value. Prices have softened, not uniformly, but in enough cases to make it very difficult to judge the market. Just in the past two months, three Warren Lewis listings in Windsor Terrace took a haircut before selling, and even Corcoran has brought down the prices on two properties in the same (very nice) neighborhood.
I would add that a more significant shift downward in the market would be a very good thing for the culture of the city. Any longtime resident could still make a relative killing on their property, while family oriented middle class people might find an affordable neighborhood …
Maybe
If you are not a realtor, then my apologies. Truly.
That said, my comment went directly to the question of price and not the quality of the neighborhood, which is lovely and middle and working class, and hopefully will not get “Corcoranized”.
And I would stick by my commonsense observation: Ripping up carpeting and painting two rooms amounts to about $2,000 worth of work, and so you’d expect to see the price go to $801,000. I very much hope that Corcoran does not find suckers from Manhattan who view this as a great deal.
But, again, my apologies if you are not a realtor.
anytime someone posts a positive comment, they are branded as brokers..
I wrote the suspect post. I live around the corner and I go to all the open houses around here. Thats why I saw it twice and didn’t buy it. The block is really pretty. East 2nd has a lot more trees than E. 3rd or 4th because in the 1940’s the people that were living on the street got together and paid for more trees to be planted on their block. The result is lovely.
Im not a realtor and am in no way connected to this house. I think the WT house is on a pretty tree lined block and in a wonderful nabe. I saw a house on this block earlier this year that was in a lot worse shape and sold for over $800K from what a remember. It also needed a lot of work. (for those wondering why I didnt buy it…ended up opting to spend more and buy a larger house. In any case, I agree with the poster that its hard to find a good size house with parking in WT for this price.
Also smelt a realtor on that one–it’s been sitting on the market for ages but the giveaway was the line about the block–it’s an okay block but, like many in that area, likely to be taken over by oppressive brick multifamilies on former sideyards and lots that once held quaint houses.
