Open House Picks 6 Months Later: 9/7/2007
Well, this almost seems like a zero-for-four batch, though 750 E. 21st allegedly has a firm offer (not in contract yet). The Cobble Hill house was originally listed at $2.9 mil; we caught it six months ago when the price had been chopped to $2.65. It’s now been fully rented out and is still for…
Well, this almost seems like a zero-for-four batch, though 750 E. 21st allegedly has a firm offer (not in contract yet). The Cobble Hill house was originally listed at $2.9 mil; we caught it six months ago when the price had been chopped to $2.65. It’s now been fully rented out and is still for sale at a slightly higher ask. 119 Bainbridge switched brokerages and was the subject of much chatter when it was House of the Day a few months ago. Brooklyn Properties now has it on their site at $1 mil.

4:39, you’re obviously a real Wall Street titan.
Greed is what keeps this game going! The higher the price tag, the more brooklyn and the rest of the home owners benefits.
If you people dont like it…. you should go do something else with your lives like teach blind kids. Fly little pelican fly.
Honestly the neighbors of each of these homes should be outside with pom poms rooting for the contracts.
“I’m gonna call my broker and ask if we should go shopping for some cheap stock”
Like he/she’s gonna say no. This says a lot about you. What a sheep.
same here FSBO is the way to go.. I think REA are creapy and greedy…
Well, hope all ya want, What, but I’m sittin’ pretty, personally. And I intend to be sittin’ pretty in this pretty house for decades. Renovating my kitchen right now, top-of-the-line–meeting with contractors tomorrow. Next year, restoring the fence and facade. Look around you, dude–there are still lots of people investing in their property here.
Markets rise, markets fall. Yawn. I’m gonna call my broker and ask if we should go shopping for some cheap stock–woo hoo!
You’re wrong about most of the people who live and work here, and who read this blog looking for help and ideas on restoring houses. Besides, what’s wrong with a little bit o’ greed? What, you don’t have any? Or are you too full of envy to make any space for ambition? Silly little man.
i only do fsbo.
$300 in 2008. So let’s say the $270 is inflation-adjusted. Still, after subtracting all other costs, where’s the 170% in appreciation?
“what will i do with the other 170% appreciation i saw in the last 5 years?”
If you paid $100 in 2003, assessed $270 in 2008, sell for $189 after a NOMINAL 30% drop, subtract holding/transaction and inflation costs, how do you get to keep “170%” in appreciation? Please explain this to me like I’m a 5 year old, 3:22.
The White House is in contract with the Chinese.
They re-paint it with lead paint.
