Not sure how 401 Park Place went for over ask, but here’s the Acris documentation to prove it. Overall, some respectable results, don’t you think? Open House Picks 3/7/08 [Brownstoner]

Open House Picks 3/7/08 [Brownstoner]
Tradionalmod, I’ve never once “bashed” the Brooklyn market. Not once. I’ve been living here since you were a teenageer in Iowa and am the proudest Brooklnite around. The point of my name is that this site has become nothing more than a way to promote and shill for the RE market. It disturbs me greatly. And yes I know, love it or leave it, etc etc. Nor have I ever “promoted” the suburbs. I have defended the burbs against absurd and stupid generalizations and unwarranted bashing, but that is not promoting them. Loving Brooklyn does not require us to be idiots about everywhere else.
dt, the two story I referred to was on the corner of Rutland and Bedford–2 story with doctors offices on the basement level. Beautifully renovated. Listed with BHS. Initial ask was too high but then it was cut by 100K. Not too long ago is was taken off the market. Chances are, it’ll be back on at a lower price soon.
Look, it’s not a matter of Philly vs Brooklyn. The point is that this is not the forum for that discussion. You don’t go on a NY Knicks board and start screaming about the Eagles or Flyers. My point is nobody here cares about Philly. Yes, the prices are probably much more sane than here, but NOBODY HERE CARES. To keep going on and on about it is really just a waste of time and energy. Please add something of value to the discussion about Brooklyn real estate. Your comments will be welcome. But seriously you’re beating a dead horse with the Philly stuff.
MR
ps Why do YOU live in Brooklyn?
Yes, unfortunately.
boring? u dont know what the hell ur talking about.have u ever even bin to philly?
It certainly isn’t B*O*R*I*N*G, or a running joke, like certain other cities not worth mentioning 🙂
right,cause brooklyn is so safe and secure.
“what exactly r u paying for?”
Not living in a city where the first prize in a contest is staying one night and the second prize is staying two, or, as W.C. Fields put it “I once spent a year in Philadelphia, I think it was on a
Sunday. …”
🙂
i understand what u mean MR.the reason i keep asking is cause no one has yet answered my question.what exactly r u paying for?
Looking at his name, his past comments and his comments here, we see Shillstoner ALWAYS bashes the Brooklyn real estate market, to the point he even promotes the suburbs. Clearly a very biased person.
Have some sense. Different neighborhoods are in different price ranges with different offerings. People choose them according to their priorities and lifestyle. Being a place where relative bargains can be found is not a bad thing. PLG is where one can still get a house for around a million on good subway lines and on the park. Clue for you, Shillstoner — not everybody has the same bank account or priorities. They can’t (or won’t) all spend $1.5 million on a 2-story house. Like if they prefer a one-family home because they don’t want to be landlords looking after an apartment. Or if they prefer private school over public and want the extra money to go towards that instead. And so on.
Oh and by the way? We bought our house identical to this one for $150K less, two years ago. So PLG is hardly in some kind of major freefall.
