I first saw the listing for the east Flatbush house in the spring of 2008, it was then listed for 499K.
I went to see it in June when the asking was 469K
I believe ( according to the Shark) that it sold for 360K. It needed complete renovating, but all of the details were still there.
Hopefully whoever bought did this, and looks like they’re trying to turn it.
Although with the change in the market, a nicely renovated house in that ‘hood I think may now struggle.
“My house in Brooklyn cost 5 x the annual rent. Go figure.”
Figure 8? Rent stabilized?
***Bid half off peak comps***
i wouldn’t consider any of these houses regardless of price. pretty sure i saw the east 2nd street in the summer, looked at the first floor and almost hurled. really sweet tenant (would feel really bad for kicking her out) but it was a total gut job. had to leave and didn’t even go upstairs, think i’d have to nuke that hellhole it if i was going to live there.
there just are very very few desirable houses in non fringe areas that have real sellers with realistic prices. i wouldn’t be surprised if most of these are unsold in 6 months.
Stevie,
I noticed you didn’t have a comeback for my calling you out on being completely and totally wrong on your “comp” you found on 3rd street in the other thread.
Come on…I know you can find one.

I don’t know why you think limestone buildings are worth so much more and as much as twice that of regular brownstones.
631 and 632 are across the street from each other and are both newly renovated and have exactly the same square footage.
If you are going to nit pick, then no two houses are comparable.
P.S. We closed in August.

It’s lose lose for you.

There are income restrictions to getting a piece of that bailout. To qualify for the first time homeowner tax credit that was enacted this year, you have to make less than 95k on your 1040 tax returns.
So, no, it is not lose-lose.
ASK matters a TON. if a seller is delusional and I want to buy his/her house, the fact I know the ASK is stupid doesn’t help me. I need to Seller to realize that and then drop the ASK. ASK has been dropping and more ppties are coming on mkt with more reasonable ASK, so as a buyer it’s a good downward trend – independent of whether it’s at, below, above peak prices in XXXX yr.
