  1. 2:17…guessing you know exactly where the offers are coming in at because you have personally received them…curious to know why you haven’t taken them in this market if indeed my guess is correct. Why not cut bait and move on?

  2. PS 261 is a great school. People from Park Slope and elsewhere pull strings to get into it.
    I’m not saying whether the house is worth it or if BH is a nice nabe.
    But the school is not a reason to buy elsewhere, unless you are a troll or want to go elsewhere for other reasons.

  3. Boerum hill is great. Why wouldnt you send your kid to public school there. Your kid will be taught arabic in school which will be much more useful than french or german. Seems like a deal to me.

  4. You really don’t have to be rich to afford a 2.3 million dollar house. Yes, if you’re 27 and it’s your first place, you need to be rich. But if you’re in your forties, have been on the property ladder for a while and bought and sold judiciously, you will have sizeable equity. We started out with a co-op that cost less than $200,000, and after selling and buying three more times, ended up with a $2 million brownstone 15 years later. The trick for us was to keep paying down the mortgages and build up equity so that we were a able to put 50% down on our current place and keep the mortgage payments low. Also, we have tenants and the rent is vital to help us make our mortgage payments. In a place like New York you can always find tenants, so I don’t think that’s such a risk.

  5. Boerum Hill house has competition from two other properties on the same block and the same side of the street, one priced 200K more and one priced 200K less.

    So, who’s going to buy one of these? Nobody. 209 did get over 3 million but this house doesn’t come close in terms of attraction, quality, and setup.

    The house also is in the worst school district in that area so add 30K a year per child for private school to the cost of your mortgage.

    Not feeling it at all. 1.9 million tops.

  6. 2.3 million dollars for a house in the Boros with no property seems like so much money to me.
    God bless the seriously rich people who buys it. How rich do you have to be to afford a 2.3 million dollar house in the current economic downturn? the mind reels.
    it is a very nice house though. not a mansion really, but a nice house. For a celebrity millionaire or a financier.
    only in Brooklyn kids!
