Open House Picks: Six Months Later

“Did Miss Muffet buy it?” Actually she ragged on how expensive it was.

Clinton hill sold for $438/sf, this one must have won the prize for seller greed chasing a down market, wasn’t it listed in 07? I think it was a good buy and a prime example of what not to do when selling.

Windsor Terrace was empty nesters nearing retirement putting out their dream price. Unfinished basement = small livable square footage, kit & bath updating, no way an oversized lot is gonna make up for that. Its a viable $1.1, but if you don’t need to sell for 5 or 10 years then why hit the retirement fund like that.

Park slope was next to chip shop, it was a total shell gut to me – $500k++. You need a huge cash down payment for that kind of reno. Brokers were sellers i believe, and i am really surprised this went over $1 mil. Everything was ancient with the old oil furnace, and i would be dreaming of rats next to fried food inc. Don’t think i even made it to the top floor in this one. But i also don’t ever recall this priced at $1.65.

Marlboro – this isn’t even a house, its a professional office. Bring your architect, contractor, structural engineer and expediter. Looks like they’re waiting for a doctor to come by or something. But who’s going to do that with obamacare coming round the corner. Offer $500k. This must have been a slow OH week to list this.

mopar, the PS listing is still up on the broker’s site. It’s nothing to write home about. Totally lacking any deetail. Seems like a fair price for both buyer and seller.

How’s the search going “Brownstones Half Off????”
