bk14…it will only not work out too well for the buyers if they don’t recoup their price. That said, this is very odd.
‘No dead horse goes unflogged here’
Yep…between the:
– ‘Crime’ thread
– ‘Park Slope is the best’ thread
– ‘House prices are falling, House prices are rising’ thread
And now we’re waiting for the ‘Horror Show Friday’ thread……and then we’ll be all set for today.
Get the whips out, people.
“It’s misleading to omit that information, since the house was put back on the market almost immediately after closing.”
Is this true? If so, I do agree that its a bit misleading to use this as sales info.
Despite my trolling the original thread for comedic material, I must agree with you snark. That house in that location at that price is pretty mystifying. But in the end these sorts of sales are the reason why it is useless to make definitive predictive statements about the Brooklyn house market.
Well, for those people who don’t follow this site obsessively, Brownstoner really should have added, right next to the 14th Street entry above, that this house IS BACK ON THE MARKET at $2.15 million. So, that deal apparently didn’t work out too well for the buyers. It’s misleading to omit that information, since the house was put back on the market almost immediately after closing.
This one is even funnier (It must be noted that this is the fake CobbleHiller talking, not our beloved cobblehiller):
8 reasons why 14th st is over valued
1. The block is ugly
2. $1,995,000
3. The second floor “sitting room” is a waste of space
4. $1,995,000
5. Its a 1 family in a 2 family body
6. $1,995,000
7 Its two doors from a Foot Locker
8. Its July 18 2008 and you’re listing it for $1,995,000

I’m going to have to concede 237 14th Street to Team Bull.
That house at that location at that price mystifies me.
Its going to be tricky to get her tush off her tuffet and wriggle out of that one.
(for the record, I’m team bear).
Looks like things are truly collapsing, shillstoner.
