agree with 2:29. who cares if offers are ‘insulting’? asking prices are insulting
“Sellers will take less but not 20% less.”
Perhaps, but in the same way that brokers are automatically raising prices to $1,000/sf, i.e., at least 20% above recent comparables, buyers should be equally aggressive on lowballing.
What do you have to lose? At best, you get a deal. At worst, you signal to brokers and sellers that their prices are unrealistic.
lah,
What is your place like? Is it in PS?
I agree with all the comments about how out-of-control PS prices seem to be. People are being really greedy in this hood at this moment. We’re just about to put our 2+ bedroom (2 plus office/nursery) on the market as an fsbo…and we wouldn’t even think of asking such prices. Given that everyone is looking at decent apprciation, and that it’s importance to try to keep the area accessible to folks other than the super rich, I can’t see asking more than $700/square foot. Anything more is just damn greedy–I wish my neighbors would come to their senses!!!

BHS does have a floorplan. 2 of the BRs are tiny. Bathroom is small too.

The Park Slope coop is being listed with Agueyo and Heubner and Brown Harris Stevens (who have a floor plan, I believe). Is this unusual? Also, I have not seen the place but I would guess that it is approx. 1200 square feet as are all of that type of limestone.
Clinton Hill proper (I don’t live there) is not a fringe neighborhood, not even up and coming, however the Clinton Hill loft is not technically in Clinton Hill but in Bed-Sty. Hence the $1.5mm price seems really steep. But some people like industrial (this area is very), and that’s a lot of square footage.
11:55 here – we put in the bids not really expecting too much. Figured it was worth a try since both apts. had been on the market for a while already. And as I said, you get much over $1m, and it simply doesn’t make economic sense for us.
And we haven’t seen many places under $1m that we liked (there was one early on but we hesitated and lost it – the winning bid came in at $975 though).
Thanks for the tip about coop boards-makes some sense other than for the fact that the asks seemed to be kind f a reach anyway(kind of pissed that our agent didn’t mention this when we were low balling). But we are willing to be patient – we want a good neighborhood, two real bedrooms, a well renovated kitchen, and if possible a second or half bath. We’ve only been searching for two months so far, but I’m already pretty discouraged. Vermont looks better every day (and it isn’t even ski season yet).
