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.
Park Slope house was first listed by the same broker, but with Corcoran. Now this broker has apparently switched to Prudential? Price was initially $2.3 m, now reduced.
“With the Clinton Hill house you will be fixing things your whole life”.
LOL–that applies to ANY old house–unless you have LOTS of $$ to hire people to do everything, you can look at buying a brownstone as acquiring a new and facinating hobby. Anyone who doesn’t think they’re so inclined might be better off looking at newly built condos. Old houses aren’t for everyone.
Regarding the Clinton Hill house, between every price increase the owner does some crap renovation (I think it might be new baths this time around) which, given the need to rip his work out, make you want to pay less, not more, for the property.
“brownstoner seems very disconnected from the present economy”
Because he owns these open house picks and has set the asking prices?
ALL OF THESE OPEN HOUSE PICKS SEEM TO BE BEAUTIFULLY RENOVATED AND TAYLOR MADE FOR THE OWNER!!! WHY ARE THEY ON THE MARKET???
Before anyone wastes too much time….
Many of the posts in this thread have simply been cut and pasted from old (in some cases YEARS old) Open House Picks. I thought one of them seemed familiar…too familiar…and sure enough it was from an old OHP. I’ve since found several others.
The real question here is: What kind of moron gets his jollies this way?
“you people disgust me.”
Funny, I find elitist a-holes insulting people who can’t afford $3 million houses disgusting. Just shows how different we are.
“stop criticizing something you have done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to assist with.”
Um…how about merely reading this blog regularly?? Without regular readers it ain’t nothing. No advertisers. No buzz. No links from other bloggers to the site. Nuttin.
And by the way, Brownstoner is a grown man, he doesn’t need you to get all tweeniebopper crushy all over him and defend him from the horrid meanies who are merely providing feedback and suggestions for more types of features. Which, uh, he ASKS FOR from readers on a pretty regular basis which anybody knows who has been reading this blog for the last couple years. It’s just a little weird he asks for feedback on what people want to see more of, then ignores it, that’s all anybody was saying. As for others creating their own blogs – they are. And they’re growing in popularity.
