if you are thinking of buying a brownstone – just take a few 100k and head to Atlantic City – the result will be the same.
“That’s odd, given that they all seem to be selling for below asking price these days.”
I’ve heard on this blog just this week about two homes in Prospect Heights selling for over ask…didn’t the one highlighted here a couple days ago sell for over 200K over ask, in fact?
I’ve also heard stories about 1 bedrooms in PS going for over ask.
Yes, there are houses sitting, but perhaps those are not priced correctly. Just because someone is looking for a house, doesn’t mean they’ll just take anything for any price.
“I’m looking for a brownstone in PS or PH. We’ve been outbid on the last 3 we were interested in!!!”

Good to hear from you, NoPA.
2:27’s comment was more related to this thread than yours is, 2:32 (#2).
2:27 so how exactly does that affect this thread?
Brownstoner:
The Dean Street house is around the corner from where I lived in Crown Heights as a boy in the 1950s and 1960s.
Its intersection is one of he handsomest in the neighborhood, graced by two spectacular churches, and its block is lined with distinguished row houses where my pals and I played on the stoops and had stick ball games in the street.
The building across New York Avenue is either Mitchell-Lama or elders’ housing that was designed by John Louis Wilson, the first African-American architect to graduate from Columbia and who worked on FDR’s Works Progress projects in the 1930s. (The Harlem River Houses, an officially-designated New York City landmark, is one of his designs.) This isn’t one of his best jobs, certainly, but typical New York modernist housing of its period. (It replaced P.S. 41, a wonderful Victorian-era pile where I went to kindergarten and first grade. That building was torn down long after my family moved from the neighborhood.)
What a steal! One bedrooms in my Manhattan co-op cost a million. Here you get a whole house — and not just any house, but one that would be a standout on the Upper West Side or Park Slope.
