We normally include four Open House Picks but, as has been noted in recent market reports, the number of listings is clearly dropping—we couldn’t find a single compelling open house scheduled for this weekend that we hadn’t already covered at some point. Interesting. Update: A reader pointed us towards the Glenwood Road listing so that now rounds out the foursome.
You must have a more discerning eye than me then. Cause I was a bit green with envy given that my house used to look like that on the inside, but went through at least two “rushed/cheap” renovations of its own before I bought it. Still I love her. No matter.
What about this place – South Elliott btw Dekalb and Lafayette for under $1 million.

Turtlejam, I saw the inside and I would not call it “stunning” – yes, parts of it are nice, but the reno looked a little rushed/cheap when you looked more closely.
True, but it’s not ten times more desirable either . . . twice as desirable maybe.
When prices crash later this year or early 2010, they’ll bottom at the point where monthly mortgage payments roughly equal equivalent market rate rent on a similar property.
The house on 14th is a few doors up from our house. I thought 1,950,000 was an outrageously high asking price so cannot believe that they think that they can get another 200K. Especially given that the adjacent apt building runs along the full length of the backyard on the right side. So you basically have about 5-6 apts looking straight into your “private” backyard. I know that in Brooklyn privacy has different meaning than elsewhere, but it really gives you a fishbowl feeling when you are back there. Aside from that it is stunning on the inside, and would certainly welcome some new neighbors. :))
Iris is right there need to be a larger price range shown. That’s how to track what-you-get-for-the-money in Brooklyn. Connected to that it would be fun to see some other neighborhoods represented to mix it up a bit so we’re not having the exact same discussions every time. How many times do we really have to discuss a Park Slope brownstone, a wood frame South Slope house, and an Archie Bunker house in WT? I’m having deja vu big time. Or even further, what if one house of the four were still in NYC but outside Brooklyn? Just for comparison. You could introduce little enclaves people might not be aware of. Like the cute wee houses in Sunnyside, Queens that have those park-like shared backyards, or the Victorians on Staten Island or a townhouse in the West Village. I know it’s all about Brooklyn here but perhaps there are new ways to compare and evaluate the Brooklyn house market. Provide context.
IronBalls….see my first post in the Cobble Hill Sale thread below….I’m talking about people like you.
This isn’t Minneapolis people.
I like the HGTV House Hunter shows that feature young couples looking to buy houses in other parts of the country for less that 200K.
It really puts these crazy prices into perspective. I’m a diehard New Yorker, but is a house here really worth ten times more than in Minneapolis or some other perfectly nice mid-sized city?
When this housing bubble finally bursts, which it hasn’t come close to yet in NYC, $2,000,000 for a clapboard row house in Park Slope will seem as crazy as somebody trying to hawk a stinky old pair of tennis shoes for $2,000.
Anyone know what happened with the 16th bidding war a year ago?
