  1. “what’s up with the Grand street price? how many feet are we talking to the BQE? 50?”

    It’s got some pretty sweet retail space on the bottom on a prime commercial strip. 3 million sweet? No idea – but they can definitely get more rent than a residential apartment.

    Not that far from the BQE, but it’s not really an issue on that block – gets more noticeable btw Havemeyer and Marcy.

  2. what’s up with the Grand street price? how many feet are we talking to the BQE? 50?

    I agree with 11217 on the 13th street house. if you are priced out of south slope and look on either side – windsor terrace to the east, gowanus to the west, you scratch your head as you wonder who would go for third avenue. but hey, different strokes. maybe the R train was imperative.

    Comp chase down to half off. Last one’s a rotten egg. I order you out of the trench, 293 Grand and 125 Clinton!

    ***Bid half off peak comps***

  4. I agree with 11217’s 1:24 post. I love Gowanus (hard as that is for me to believe). I’m not sure how much work the house needs, but I could see buying that house in that area around that price (again, work depending).

  5. I am not going to say that the Gowanus house needing a reno and selling for a million bucks is an “outlier” but 11217 is right – great price for the seller, which means bad price for the buyer. If it is not an outlier and the bull market is back, just suggests that the smart money will continue to rent. To people who bought pre-2006 I say good for them but that does not mean that it is a good time for people who have not bought yet if this is what $1m will buy.
