  1. 2:01…The thing is that a home like this near the park is more like 3.4 like the one that was listed a few weeks ago.

    2.8…3.4….I suppose it doesn’t really sound like that much of a difference, but still…

    If this were on a park block, it would be well over 3 million.

    Plus, we have to give some credit here to that Park Slope 10 best neighborhood in the U.S. article that came out this week…

    No matter what you think of the neighborhood, that certainly added on another 5% to asking prices…

  2. Yeah, sure they’re allowed to ask people to remove shoes, but I think it’s a seriously bad move when trying to sell one’s home. You have to do everything you can to make people imagine that the house is *their* house, not your house, and requests like that don’t help.

    Plus, germs? Are they asking the broker to smell people’s socks, too?

  3. The St Mark’s house looks very nice but this isn’t the loveliest block (btw 6th Ave and 5th Ave) in the north slope. Frankly, I’d want to be closer to the park to pay $2.8m. Also, it’s hard to tell from the pics but how high quality are the finishes, especially the floors? Given the volatility in the market, I’d guess this would be better priced at $2.4 – 2.5m. Then again, the move-in nature of it may convince someone to bite. As always, the lack of supply drives prices up.

  4. Me again from 1:58. Also, don’t forget some people have a problem with serious foot odor no matter how clean they are. Men especially. It’s actually cruel to ask those people to remove their shoes. It’s humiliating for them.

  5. It’s so easy and inexpensive for the sellers to provide those disposable slipcovers for shoes though, 1:51pm. I agree, if they are asking $2.8 million you don’t ask your multi-millionaire potential buyers to take their shoes off. You’re putting the buyers in a state of feeling vulnerable, awkward and uncomfortable the moment they walk in the door. It’s a stupid decision on the part of the realtor, s/he should know better.
