UGH, I MEANT to say the SUNSET PARK house is a adorable what’s the catch?
No wonder the across the street from the school comment didn’t make sense to bklnite.
Duh, duh, and duh again.
What’s up with the Park SLope house , it has a 1.2 million dollar price tag yet it has a 8 k kitchen..
How about 400k for the park slope house… I think that would be a great deal for the sellers.
“That Park Slope house is adorable! What’s the catch??”
A falling knife on 3rd Ave [slice, drip drop!].
***Bid half off peak comps***
Sorry but I must chime in about that 8th Street house – it’s been on the market a LONG time. We saw it easily over a year ago. I can’t remember the exact price they were asking before but it was not far from this price and for them they can get that now is beyond laughable. And no way in h*ll is this Park Slope. They would be very lucky to approach 1million and I bet you it sells for much less than 1 million. Folks, our economy is in shambles, stock market at record lows, and while I want to be optimistic, these are unsettling times to say the least. For all my luck at having sold at the peak and having cash, our entire financial circumstances have radically changed due to other giant financial losses within my extended family that will now impact me. I, like pretty much everyone else, have tightened my belt in a major way and ratcheted down my budget and these prices are all ridiculous. I used to think cuts of 40-50% in NYC were optimistic (for potential buyers, that is) but now I think they are almost a foregone conclusion and the only question is when they will hit.
Re Sunset. I live on that block. While the houses aren’t brownstones, b/c of the school across the street, the block is quieter and less crowded than most in Sunset, and parking at night is a breeze. The yellow house has been on the market for a while. The owner did some nice cosmetic work to the facade – of the vinyl clad houses on the block (which is most of them), this is easily the nicest looking.
Plus side of 8th Street house is, that’s one of the nicest blocks of Gowanus. Minus side: you still have to cross 4th Avenue, a divided highway, to get anywhere in Park Slope. For a buyer who doesn’t care about that, could be a nice house.
wait, buy in ’06 at 655, add $100k per floor for 955 total, and jack up the price to 1.25 (31%) is reasonable right now…in gowanus?

Re PS/Gowanus house:
Based on the ACRIS records, it looks like this house sold for $655K in Sept. 2006, underwent the remodel (which probably cost $300-400K?), and was then resold in Oct. 2007 for $1.25 million. Seller is clearly being sensible in not looking for the Oct. 2007 price; question is whether it is still worth more than the Sept. 2006 price plus cost of remodel.
