Ft. Greene houses both are yummy. Only thing I don’t like about the one on S. Oxford, though, is the backyard being open to the street. Nice for light, but would be easy for bad guys to boost your television over the fence, no? Still, great detail. Does it feel to others like they did a good parlor-level kitchen? That trips up a lot of people.
Suggesting that Clinton Hill is “over” is too stupid even to address, but not as stupid as asking 2 million for a small, Home-Depot-ed reno. (And there’s nothing wrong with bashing Home Depot–it’s their fault they stock such ugly materials and don’t provide enough staff. Lowes is better). 2 MM is not gonna happen–wouldn’t even happen if the house was packed with details and character, which it pretty clearly is not. You can get SO much more house for that much money in CH. Keep dreamin’, lil’ rehabber.

Even the city is surprised that the madness has lasted so long! Mike et al were budgeting for a serious correction to slash property tax revenues this year, which would mean a transit fare increase. Now they say, believe it or not, the silly RE money coming in has made the fare safe for 08.
But it has to end. Daddy, you ever check out thehousingbubbleblog.com? Might give you a shred of hope.
Oh My Friggin God!
At these prices, I’m tempted to sell my little dump and move to Philadelphia. This is what you get for your paultry 2.4 million.

Any suggestions on medications for real estate OCD?
The townhouse market in Brooklyn is insane. Garbage for well over a million, wrecks priced as if they’re in pristine condition, it’s wack!
The only people it makes sense for are very rich folks (we’re talking people who make close to a million bucks a year) who can afford to buy a beautiful home in Park Slope and don’t worry about a major market correction.
I mean if you’re buying something awesome to spend your life living in, and you can easily afford it, overpaying isn’t such a big deal.
But for people making only a couple of hundred thousand a year, my advice is to get a coop in Manhattan. Less risk and much better neighborhood for your money — no need to wait for gentrification; it already happened.
I looked at the Cambridge Place house 2 years ago before this flipper bought it.
I think it was listed then for 750-850k.
Stainless steel appliances? Granite countertops? Clinton Hill(s)? The only folks who call it Clinton Hills are those who are not familiar with the neighborhood, and silly pricing on subpar properties indicates as much.
What’s the point of overpricing so it just sits on the market? 2MM? Do you follow the market whatsoever, dear flipper? What is that tactic, exactly?
Am I high…. or are all these prices doubled from 2 years ago?
Are these places considered “reasonably priced”?
This market is starting to seriously freak me out.
