Purchasing a brownstone right now at prevailing prices is like buying a Lamborghini. Not a financial investment and most certainly not a responsible purchase for someone of humble means. For more information on this housing pyramid scheme, see…
I don’t believe anyone dropping 3 million is of humble means. Your post makes zero sense. People are buying these homes because they love them and want to live in them.
Not quite the same as a car, but who knows…by the sound of things…you might be living in yours pretty soon if you don’t buy something.
BTW, that housing graph and scheme has never, nor will it ever apply to NYC.
It may not be fake, but it is certainly rude. Instead of asking the question on every other post, why don’t they just start their own? And, sheesh, there is no such thing as a “regular” brownstone – there are lots of differences among ’em.
“IGNORE THE FAKE POST AT 1:40. IT’S BEING CUT/PASTED EVERY OTHER DAY.”
I’ve been duped. Oh well, better that then paying these asking prices.
1:40,
You should only buy if you’re wealthy and don’t mind taking a real loss, for the rest of your life. You are unlikely to ever see 2008 prices again in real terms before you die. Did you see this graph…

We’re going back to 110 at best and will probably stay there for 50 years. This housing pyramid scheme is slowly collapsing. Purchasing a brownstone right now at prevailing prices is like buying a Lamborghini. Not a financial investment and most certainly not a responsible purchase for someone of humble means.

But if money is no object, by all means you should bid ask and prepare to go to war. Otherwise, these brownstones can be purchased in the near future (God knows exactly when) for significantly less. Good things come to those who wait. Renting is underrated.
I think the dean st house is lovely and priced very fair for a very nice area. as for the other houses not my taste.
Aren’t brokers smart enough to realize that unless they find someone who is, say, shopping for a house complete with a recording studio, that no one else is gonna pay a penny extra for this reno of the basement?
“I’m intrigued by the Stuyvesant house… pics don’t seem to be working on the broker page. Anyone know anything about it?”
See previous Brownstoner threads about this house. It has a long history on the market:

That shower door is another example of brokers calling attention to things in their ad that they just should ignore. That one shot makes you think the whole house is going to be nothing but a tacky reno.
Funny, I assumed that the work done to create the studio was probably like, practically nothing, the ad just broker hyperbole, thinking (incorrectly) that hypebole about it would help sell the house. Sometimes they wierdly focus on the stuff that one should minimize in writing copy. Common sense tells me I’d clean up if I were a broker competing with most of ’em…
