The Park slope address is a joke! The place closed in 2004 for $750K. That’s what it’s worth today and 20% less in a year from now.
Get over it!
Mopar, sorry to hear it. Sunshine is essential to me – all the apartments I’ve lived in have had it in spades. I know it’s harder to get in attached brownstones, but all the more reason that I kind of like the narrow ones in that it’s easier in some ways to knock out all the walls on parlor floor to bring light in throughout the space. Dark warrens are the worst.

Yeah DIBS – for the same price I can buy a 3 bed on the UWS in Manhattan.
I’m looking forward to checking this place out. I will try to make it to the open house this weekend. I’m guessing it’s standard fare condo conversion but who knows – I might be surprised.
OK, I’m going on and on, but now that I think of it, the layout of the Dean St. house is a major reason we haven’t been able to find a place to buy in Bushwick. They don’t all have the center light well but they do have the same layout, with a split parlor and living room and two tiny rooms in between (with no windows). In fact, we live in just such a rental right now. Horrible, just horrible. I’m having a fit right now just thinking about it.
But its in Park Slope, lechacal! 🙂
But Mopar, didn’t the Elliman report also include sales that went into contract pre-meldown? There are a lot of new construction condos that fit that bill and thus distort the overall picture. Anyway, I’ve always been a bit suspicious of reports that paint with a broad brush – I get my info in the trenches, closely tracking the very specific slice of the market I’m interested in – those price cuts don’t lie.
Gem: Oh, just a few weeks. That doesn’t sound so bad. But if you want to move quickly, you could try pricing 10 percent below whatever the last real comp was and see what happens. Maybe a bidding war!? Good luck and keep us posted about how it goes.
God, that Dean house just sucks. I had to say that again.
