What are the carrying costs on that Ditmas house? (Chime in seller/broker).
Have people seen it? I see things written like it needs restoration and the roof needs replacing- but is that just conjecture? You can’t tell that from the listing. (Though the kitchen is obviously bad)
Yes the brick looks bad and the interior looks like it needs paint, but it doesn’t look that bad. Don’t know the comps, but if it’s overpriced, someone will just offer lower, and it will eventually sell, right?

And there have been homes in similar or better condition that have sold for less than 1 million so what’s your point? And today’s market is not yesterday’s market, with jumbos over 7%.
Looking at MKG’s site for comps as you recommend, I see 718 East 18th Street at $1.19, which is a much prettier house both inside and out, and has been sitting on the market for a while. I see 271 Stratford, which was similar size and condition to this house except it actually has a beautiful fireplace/mantle plus fretwork selling for $985. Smaller houses may have aggressive bidding, or they may sit on the market for many, many months after numerous price cuts, witness 1407 Dorchester, which can’t sell at $899.
500 Marlborough (which was pristine inside and out) may have went to contract after a few months on the market, but we don’t know at what price. Even if, for the sake of argument, it went at ask (1.35), it had 11 stained glass windows, fireplace and mantles, pocket doors, etc. that blow away 466 Westminster. So after you spend 1.2 on 466 Westminster and then spend several hundred thousand to restore it, there’s no way you’re getting your money back because it’s just a mediocre house.
Common the realtors selling this property, who I know are on these boards, should be able to answer the question about the missing square footage.
DAMN YOU REALTORS!
[shakes fist at sky]
WHY DID YOU MAKE BROOKLYN SO EXPENSIVE!!!
LOL
cheatin’, lyin’ realtors?
extension.
nope, the garden is 65 ft deep. no extension.
Thank you for that John Ife. That is simply amazing. My mouth is agape.
5:10– actually, yeah.. you didn’t get to the part yet about how most shootings are between people who know each other so don’t worry about that.
