I assume, 11:13, that the anonymous revelation you received about a “structural defect” had some degree of specificity to it. Especially since it “concerned problems that wouldn’t necessarily come up during a routine inspection.” In other words, if these problems would have escaped a professional inspector, how else would you have known what structural grief you successfully avoided?
“Anonymous “structural defect” revelations have plagued this site for quite a while. IMO they should be heavily discounted, BUT you ALWAYS get an inspection done for any house you’re seriously interested in.”
One of those anonymous revelations saved me a lot of grief and in all likelihood a lot of money last year. It concerned problems that wouldn’t necessarily come up during a routine inspection, and I’m grateful to the person who posted it.
Only six 10:18?
Where do you sleep on the seventh night of the week? 🙂
6:22 you will always be a renter. I own six brownstones. How many do you own?
My boyfriend and I looked at the Cambridge Place 2 bedroom rental in the back part of the house in early 2007, and they were asking $2500 per month. Bedrooms were small (maybe 10′ X 12′), and so was the kitchen – practically no counter or cabinet space, and there was no dining area. We passed. Curious how that $2500 per month (or less by now) is going to put a dent in the ‘ole $2.5 million price tag.
so you read and post on a blog that is 99% about home ownership, why exactly 6:22?
go enjoy your rental.
Please, someone give me the rent v. buy calculation that shows it’s cheaper to buy in Brooklyn these days.
I rent my apartment in Clinton Hill, a gorgeous, big place for about $25 a square foot in annual payments. The money I could use for a down payment on a brownstone in that neighborhood is generating around $25K a year in income (and that’s with the stock market as bad as it is), so if you factor that in, I’m paying about $10 a square foot for the apartment. If I bought in the neighborhood, by contrast, my annual payment (taking into account tax benefits) would be, at a minimum, $30 a square foot, or three times as much. And that’s not counting property taxes, renovation, etc. And with prices where they are, only a fool would count on any meaningful price appreciation over the next 5-10 years. So how does buying make economic sense?
Mrs. Limestone, what comps are those, I wonder? I think that if the WT house went for asking it would be setting a record price not only for that block but for the neighborhood. Keep in mind this house is deep in Windsor Terrace, it’s not like it’s “Park Slope”. Even the pretty limestones on Sherman St. go for less than this (or did last year, and anyone who’s paying more this year than last must have a very good reason or very deep pockets).
i’m gonna conclude 5:19 is correct until proven otherwise.
no one was interested in these homes anyway, from what i could tell.
not at anywhere near these prices.
you can get a house in south slope for these prices. near services. and with less crime.
