Lech – wow – I just checked that listing
I mean 1.5million for a 2 BR park Slope Condo conversion that’s nice – but not THAT NICE!
ok seriously they are delusional – wowowowowowoowowowowow
Hey Adam! How is your Bartending job going or was it at Starbucks?
The What (203k loan ROTFLMMFAO!)
Someday this war is gonna end…
Mopar – thanks – here’s hoping – I do think it’s priced well though
where we are it’s sorta all weird b/c many are 3 story frame houses and ours is 4 story with some interesting features – so I don;t think the latest comps reflect our type of house.
Forgot to add: For prospective buyers of the Dean St. house, it is best if all bedrooms are shared by three people. Maybe consider an SRO conversion?
Wow, interesting about the St. James place, Adam. I love all the insider-y comments this blog attracts.
Though actually we do have some windows in the middle technically, but the apt is in fact long and dark and divided into a million little rooms — ugh. I rented it under duress.
So Stringer, this is a sincere question, why is $1.5 million out of line for that Park Slope property? Isn’t that a typical price for Park Slope? I don’t care for their renovation — oh look! It’s a loft! in a brownstone — but I figure everyone else just loooooves these big barns with their Bosch appliances. No?
I actually talked to the purchasers (or proposed purchasers) of the St. James house about financing. We discussed buying it with an FHA 203k loan but couldnt make it work with the loan limits. I guess they went all cash. Nice people. House Needs a ton of work from my conversation with them. TON OF WORK.
I feel exactly the same way about sunshine, Miss Muffet. 🙂
Miss Muffet, I don’t think the numbers included lots of new construction condos. I agree though that a buyer tracking individual houses has a much better chance of getting a good picture. But the buyer has to track actual sale prices, not asking prices.
Example: In the apt building where I last lived, every apt sold for about 10 percent more than the last one (this is comparing apts in the same line, adjusted for floor) from about 2004 through 2009. Now each one sells for 10 percent less each time.
