Maybe the CH folks are just testing the market. Though overpricing it and making it hard for people to drop in and see it seem like a strange way to generate any serious interest.
Did anyone get to the Clinton Hill yesterday? I’m guessing that making it an “appointment only” open house almost guaranteed that they saw few visitors. These owners don’t seem to understand the concept of the open house.
Re: Sterling – I agree with 6:37. I went to open house today and was very disappointed. The place is dumpy, and photos make it look much better. On top of the stink of the basement (even the broker admitted it smelled bad, very moldy), the upstairs bedrooms smell of old smoke (owner was a smoker) and there are tons of things that are falling apart – the stairs are slope-y and woodwork in bad condition, the floors a mess, the facade crappy, and it did feel weirdly dark. Also, the configuration wastes a lot of space. I’ve seen smaller houses that make much better use of the space. I wouldn’t touch it for the asking price given all the work it needs. Needs a significant price chop…
8:48 – Been living on Woodhull for 15 years, and that playground is rarely locked. Who really cares if kids are doing anything illegal, but I’ve found used condoms in the park at least twice in the morning, and beer cans and bottles more times than I can remember. You may not care about high schoolers urinating on slides, but when you have kids, you will.
I went to Sterling place today.
Who ever took the photos has some real talent.
The place is a dump!
Its dark, the floors are shot, the brownstone is falling off the front, it smells old.
1.8 doesn’t get you much in the north slope anymore
Exactly, 10am. You’ll spend 3 times more for a contractor here in NYC than L.A. too. The reason or excuse the contractors always give is “overhead” and I’m like huh? How? NYC contractors are even less likely to have an office outside their home than the contractors in these other cities. It’s the OTHER cities contractors who actually pay more overhead. Contractors in other cities also provide trucks or vans to all the main guys on their teams. NYC contractors don’t. So how is that paying more overhead, again?
It’s not.
The NYC construction and building industry is very very very corrupt.
New York has gone insane. If your contractor is telling you it’ll take a million dollars or even 600k to rehab, they are lying. Why does it only cost a fraction of that amount to do the same thing to the equivalent building in Philadelphia, D.C, or other cities? I can accept that the cost of the homes is higher here than somewhere else, but not the cost of materials. That means the difference is labor. I bet it’s all just lining your GC and architects pockets.
To 6:58
We also put in an offer on 215 Prospect and didn’t get it. I was allowing 900k to renovate. Just curious what did your contractor price it at?
The house on Avenue K looks like it needs a ton of work. From the outside it looks like it needs just about everything.
