3:32 = broker
That so-called project, which is really a Mitchell-lama bldg got the ok to opt out of the program, since it was built after the 1974 cut off. So there is a nice upside there.
So where is Bushwick more or less?
Part of it is in Queens right?
give 3:33 a break. he didn’t become a broker b/c he was good at math.
Garden Place has been on the market for months – 23 weeks according to Natefind. Beautiful house but no one’s biting at that price.
It is Gowanus.
3:28 – I’m one of the posters commenting on 10th St. Actually, my budget can extend to 1.5, possibly even more for the right house, but I’m seeking a good value, and this isn’t it. Several friends of mine have bought in South Slope in the last year in the 1.3 range but on much better blocks/better schools, etc. So I don’t think you should assume posters are seeding this to bring the price down to an even $1M. Unless the market gets jitters in 2008 (which is possible with all the uncertainty), that’s probably unrealistic. I think this thread, however, is pointing out that this house may not go for an even $1M, but it’s also way overpriced at 1.5. I’d say 1.1 is more like it.
Just because a house is in Park Slope, which this one really is not, does not mean that it will automatically get more than 1 million. The 10th street house is small, located next to a project, and also very close to a very industrial neighborhood. It does not deserve to be valued at anything more than $500 a square foot, perhaps not even that much. It is ridiculous what you realtors try to pull on these boards. How far will you keep pumping up prices?
6400 vs 2500 is not order of magnitude. try more like 2.5x. point well made, 3:31. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_magnitude
