Two words, people: Slim pickings!
The FG house is also right opposite Brooklyn Hospital–the hospital is closer to the house than the park.
The inventory is very limited but so are the credit-worthy buyers. We are in the doldrums right now. Few are listing, fewer are buying.
In 2 to 3 months we will see where this market is at. Right now very little is happening.
What would the FG house be worth (approx. 3050 sq ft., some details by the looks of it, and opposite FG park) if it were a one family or a triplex with garden rental? Just curious what kind of a discount it’s trading at for the RS tenants and the necessary renovation/conversion?
Calling these buildings ‘homes’ is so pretenious.
In Park Slope, as everywhere, the days of taking the latest comp and adding 10% are over. Except that in PS selling still think their brownstone turds are made of gold.
Key word: softening.
I just don’t think you should only be looking at strictly asking vs. selling prices. Some people like to reach for the stars, but it doesn’t make their selling price any less impressive.
Garfield Place sold for over 2 million and was a small 3 story house needing work. Even though the ask was 2.3, that doesn’t make the 2.08 million any less impressive to me.
Asking prices are just that.
Two homes on my block have sold for 3 million plus in the last few months.
I look around and still see VERY little inventory.
So no, I don’t agree with you, 2:21.
I think people are still listing their houses high, and they are accepting what are still quite high prices for these homes. I think there is a slight softening…don’t get me wrong.
But I don’t think the sky is falling.
Last week I did a little informal research on previous HOTDs. Of the HOTDs I looked at, about 65-75% of these were still on the market up to 6 months later.
2:12, Practically every brownstone in PS selling right now is going well under ask. Yeah, limited inventory is always the ringer. Next spring, though, when 10 more come on the market, just watch how fast things move then. What, you think your brownstone is so special that it’s impervious to the forces of nature?
