318 1 st has been for a ride around the block.
gotta admit, the owner looks pretty adamant to sell for the july 05 purchase price.
need another metaphor as death by a thousand cuts won’t work.
=======================================================
You can say the owner is suffering from the behavioral bias known as “anchoring”. e.g. i bought Lehman at $150/share and am not going to sell it until I break even.
Pioneer St. looks cute but unrealistic. Very small house for the money. (and I’m one that is more apt to think prices aren’t that high).
It does seem like Windsor Terrace has been a “Widget Buster” on this site several times.
Seems like every time there is a WT house on here you guys think it is priced high! I think this is kind of ballpark for these large bay front brick/limestone buildings – a few went for 1.4/1.5-ish last year or so, so this seems relatively in the right price. The little wood houses in the area are going for 700-900s depending on condition, the larger brick places seem to go for 1.2-1.3…
The fact that this is a 3 family, I don’t know if that bring down the value (seems like 2 family is perfect for these houses)
Just what I’ve noticed around here.

Prospect Place doesn’t make sense at anything more than $1.6m. Even at that, you might be able $3000 for the garden rental, which is a small 2 Bed, and then pay $5500-6000 (depending on costs) for the honor of living in a large 2 bed plus home office.
Nice location and nice place, but the numbers don’t add up.
I think 1st street is/was also at Townsley and Gay: http://www.townsleyandg.com/showprop.php?pnum=120&showpic=0
MM — What exactly about the reno choices was poor? From the photos, it looks blah and not really my bag, but not affirmatively cheap or poorly installed.
Prospect Place is one of my favorite blocks.
1,3 Mil for the Windsor Terrace house seems a bit high for the area, no?
