7:16,
If you’re talking about that century 21 listing, bid low. Those guys are crooks and probably hiding something. They’ll lie right to your face.
7:16 PM,
Sorry–I almost didn’t see your question, which was lost in all the “just a thought” nonsense.
I can’t help with your specific price questions, but others who have already joined in seem more up on current sales data than I am [It seems like just yesterday that I was thrilled that LM prices hit $100 K, a few years after reaching such lofty heights in that other obscure fringe nabe called Park Slope]. However, in a market that is softening a bit most everywhere, what could you possibly loose by making a slightly low offer, on any house in any neighborhood?
As to houses on Maple II; many people don’t realize how much they differ. True, they’re all two story, but there are two basic types–the smaller Frank Norris designed houses, near Rogers Ave., identical to others near that street on Lincoln, Midwood, and Rutland, and the larger Axel Hedman houses, most of which have distinctive (but fake) red tile roofs. Most of the Hedman houses have sizable extensions, but some extensions are one story and others are two. Thus the Maple II Hedman houses differ greatly in square footage and, presumably, price.
12:24 – actually if you read more closely I said 49 Rutland was “priced too high TO START” meaning I was talking about the price months ago when it was first put on the market at over $1.6 million. So obviously if it didn’t sell for that it was a bit overpriced. I’m absolutely thrilled if it has now sold. Did it get $1.4 million? That’s the last price I saw on it.
The Midwood street that needed reno sold for just under 1.2M.
7:25pm
Your comment that 49 Rutland was priced too high makes no sense. If that’s the case, why would it sell at or close to ask in a softening market? Obviously a beauty like it would probably sell high in any market. Also, I’m no expert but I bet 66 Midwood’s getting closer to 1.3, even though it needed work.
I’m told that a few of the larger renovated houses on Maple I could get 1.3 or more, and a couple on Maple II that will easily go over a mil, including a few of the smaller brownstones on that block. 196 Midwood, small but renovated, is the one to watch.
My realtor said that 66 Midwood sold for just over 1.2. It is a really gorgeous 4 story in the very best row of houses in the manor. But it certainly did need a new kitchen and bathroom.
Ditmas Park
440 East 19th Street:
“Exterior: Brick construction on first floor and the 2nd and 3rd floor has all been restored and painted with new cedar shakes on the 2nd floor”.
I want to see proof that that all that brick is original to the house. The bulk of the houses in Ditmas Park are wood frame, and the brick is a newer add on. How do you “restore” brick that has been slapped on to a historic wood frame. Restoring would require removal of the brick.
I understand that 66 Midwood sold for about 1.3MM it needs quite a bit of work but is a beauty.
12:14-
I heard 66 Midwood recently sold (Corcoran listing) – have you heard anything about it?
