Prospect Pl is a POS
way overpriced
the prospect pl one has good potential but its slightly over priced.
Curious if anyone went to the 12th street OH this weekend…Any info to share?
Of course the open house was well attended. All the open houses for everything right now are well attended. Like it or not, people ARE still buying. Sure there are opportunities with some motivated sellers to pick up some bargains now and in the next year, but anybody like 10:01am sitting around waiting to buy a house that’s both awesome AND is at a 20% discount, dream on. Or, properties that were shooting too high to begin with. In which case you’re not buying 20% below market, just 20% below original asking price. Not the same thing.
The only reason so many brownstones were for sale the last few years were because longtime homeowners were cashing out. None of the newer younger homeowners cash out unless there’s a divorce or they get transferred. Just look at what’s on the market right now. Not much! And you think if the market drops even more everybody’s going to say, “oh look honey, I know we planned to live here at least 10 years, but now we can make even less money so let’s sell now”. Mmmm….right. That makes sense.
I also went to the Prospect Place open house in Park Slope. However, I only saw the parlor floor. I took one step up the first floor staircase, became totally disgusted with the general state of the place, turned around and left. What little I saw of the house was horrible. The walls leading up to the second floor were indeed wavy and dinged up, and the place just looked awful all around. I am surprised that Brown Harris Stevens would take such a listing. The open house did look well-attended, though.
Just returned from 88 Prospect open house. The place is a total dump. Warped walls throughout the house, no detail, needs a gut renovation. Can only really see it as a condo conversion. Overpriced wreck.
“Timing is NOT a fools game”
You’d think that coping and pasting from Bloomberg, you would have learnt something.
tell us how timing is smart mr tWhat?
I moved to NYC in 2002.
That is the first time I heard the phrase “NYC is over priced, im waiting for prices to come down”
I agree the prices are insane, but as long as people with more money than us are prepared to pay these prices, things wont change.
