If in addition to its location, the 14th Street house has rent-contol tenants, then the asking price should be $10,950. Not $1,095,000
$1700/sf for 5 Columbia Place?
Holy crackpipe dream, Batman!
Look, if super Prime PS houses are consistently selling under 2 mil than that is a significant marker. I completely agree, even as a Clinton Hill cheerleader, that this house on Park Place is a better “value” than a similarly priced house in CH. The beauty of life though is that not everyone wants the same things from neighborhoods. Life would be awfully boring if they did.
Is it possible the seemingly low asking price for 14th Street could be due to rent controlled tenants (who will possibly only ever leave in body bags)?
CW,
I’ve been getting inundated with job openings as of late from friends passing things along. If you don’t mind mentioning here…what line of work is your wife in…?
I think most have been filled, but I definitely know of a PR job available for someone with experience.
Obviously I’m biased toward Park Slope, but I think anyone who’s honest would have to agree that in purely market terms, Park Slope is considered a more “prime” neighborhood than Clinton Hill and that as prices go down, many who might have bought in CH or elsewhere will buy in PS if they can. I actually love CH and have lived there myself, but I moved from CH to PS so my kids could walk to school, I could walk to the Food Co-op and other shopping, I could have easier access to transportation other than the G and C trains, etc. Assuming the Park Place home is in as good shape as it looks from the pictures, I agree with 11217 that this price point is significant. If this is what prime, North Slope brownstones are selling for now, no way is a lesser house in CH worth the same price.
11217–the only other thing I would add is that my house is in my view a much better deal than the one on the other side of 4th Ave (for a very similar price)…
“we don’t have 20% of $700k to put down.”
As you know cw, the ask is just a number. And 20% may not be necessary. Imagine if you got it for 650 or 625 and put down 10%. Still looking at a pretty low monthly outlay.
I have never tried it, but I think you can walk under the Expressway, along Hamilton Avenue, and then cross over at say Lorraine Street and presto! you’re in Red Hook a stone’s throw from Ikea. Although a stone’s throw is no the happiest choice of words.
As for the Columbia Place house. Take a look at the plans. Some of the bedrooms are 8 feet by 8 feet! it is like a tiny carriage house except it has no place for your carriage. And I don’t count the cellar as a real floor. c’mon!
3.9 million? In their dream of dreams.
