“Forgot to add I think the Bed Stuy house is still a little high. $685 to $690ish seems more likely.”
Yo MM, Can you find a Mortgage Calculator??!! How the hell 685K is “seems more likely.”???!!!! this is north of 3700 per month. Please people this is NOT NORMAL.! We are in the Bizarro world.
These Sellers and the Fucktard Brokers (Who List This Shit) are going to get corn holed. That’s right CORN HOLED!!!
The What
Someday this war is gonna end….
With all the problems in Bed Stuy, I don’t think it’s worth buying into. The days of buying fixer-uppers in the middle of a bad neighborhood are over.
Artists and middle class people are not going to move in and gentrify the area. If you buy in Bed Stuy or Crown Heights, you’ll be stuck there for the next 5 to 10 years. Why pay 650K or 739K in the ghetto, when you can buy a condo for 550K or less in a better, more established neighborhood.
2:00- a lot of us want to live in “the hood”. i guess that’s why we’re seeing so many new families and younger buyers moving in. we’ve been living close to the putnam listing for a year now and love our gorgeous house, and our diverse and tightly knit block. i would not have bought in park slope if you paid me. fort greene was “the hood” about 2 seconds ago as well, but wait…you would not have lived there either, right?
455A Sackett just sold for $1.15 – I think almost same size. Great family block of more modest houses.
If want a 2 family – I’d make the garden level the rental – And make a upper duplex with kitchen on parlor level. Of course would take some money – But perhaps they would go down to 455A’s price.
Why do you take the Park Slope bait so easily, 2:05?
Lord.
We all know Park Slope is nice, but that everyone in the world does not live there.
Some people like to stir the pot and bring it up on every thread.
Responding only continues the conversation longer.
Since not everyone can afford to, or wants to, live in Park Slope, why act like it’s the only worthy neighborhood in Brooklyn? Variety gives a potential buyer an idea of what’s out there. If pickings are slim, then they are slim in Park Slope too. Probably more so.
Bed Stuy is not doing well right now.
Crime is up significantly, there has been a surge in foreclosures and it looks like prices have come down.
Great for someone looking to invest for the very long-term future….10 years perhaps…but I think the price run-ups in Bed Stuy over the last 7 years or so have been excessive for what the neighborhood can bear.
I agree with Montrose…should be more like 650-675K.
Forgot to add I think the Bed Stuy house is still a little high. $685 to $690ish seems more likely.
Aside from the Sackett Street house, none of the other listings are worth a dime. Who the hell wants to live in those ‘hoods?’ Putnam Avenue is in the middle of the ghetto.
Mr. B, please bring back the Park Slope listings.
