BACK TO THE BURBS!
2M for a short house in the south slope? Crazy.
Seems like there are at least 5 listings for houses on Midwood so I don’t know why anyone would buy this one which is the most expensive and on a very noisy corner.
I’ve lived on that block of 13th Street and it’s one of the nicest blocks in the South Slope, but I much prefer the block of the Midwood Street house, where I now live. Of course, this will not come as a surprise to anyone who’s seen my many posts about PLG 🙂
BTW I have no intent to denigrate Park Slope in any way–it’s a wonderful neighborhood.
dream on 1:38. Vegas havng a 50% drop, I buy it. Not New York. Not brownstone Brooklyn
tWhat wants to maket to fall so he can buy a place he should have bought years ago but didn’t because he was too stupid to invest.
can’t comment on the others as we’re mainly looking in park slope/prospect hts/wt, but think the PS listing is still seriously overpriced. price might be appropriate if it were a fully renovated one-family looking for that type of well-heeled buyer. looks like it would need a serious reno and possible reconfiguring as well – for that price, no thanks.
They don’t look renovated at ALL to me, 1:53. I disagree. Two of the houses don’t show any photos of the interiors at all. None of the listings say the mechanicals are all new, and if that were the case the listings totally do point that out. I don’t have a Property Shark membership but I’m sure if somebody looks it up these are not houses the sellers bought recently.
I don’t see it, 1:33. Three of the four listings (unable to see Sackett) look to be in renovated shape. Why are people spending all this time and money renovating and turning around and selling? Are they all going through divorce, relocation and/or job loss?
“Do you even know the mental disorder(s) you suffer from?”
Of course he knows. It’s called insomnia. He is unable to fall asleep and dream about Brownstone Brooklyn’s escape from 50% price corrections.
“Why are these owners selling?”
The two Park Slope (or Gowanus however you look at that one) seem they are being sold by older longtime owners – they weren’t renovated anytime recently. The CG house too looks mostly unrenovated with a cheaper kitchen. The PLG house was an older owner as I understand it but had the kitchen and fixtures fixed up for the sale.
So these aren’t newer more recent homeowners giving up on owning a house or anything like that. Probably just people getting old and retiring.
