Tompkins will not come in over $3 million. Probably closer to $2.6 or $2.7, unless there is something spectacular missing from the photos.
3200 square feet is probably close to right. It looks like a 20×40 house with 4 stories. The best thing going for it is taht it already configured as a triplex over garden rental, so owners looking for that can concentrate on cosmetics rather than structural changes.
What a disappointment — and a laugh!
Based on the prices and addresses, I expected to see some truly fine homes to peruse this afternoon. Instead, with the exception of the 7th Street home (which I thought would be the loser in the bunch, based on the size and location), these are laughably overpriced and poorly marketed.
The brokers of the President Street and Beverly Road houses are NOT doing these sellers any favors with how they’re pricing and marketing these properties! Sellers, find another broker and start again!
190 President St. is listed on Corcoran website as under 3500 sq ft. If it is 25 ft wide, it must be at least 4,000, plus it seems to have an attic. Odd to make the square feet less than actual.
Maly – actually where do you see this is FSBO – the listing above says “Alan Bernstein Realty”?????
Maly – I sold my house and guess what – I did my research in how to make it look nice and presentable and it looked good in the photos the realtor took. I also took the time to price my house accordingly and not just throw an outrageous number out there on the market for the house to sit for a year because it’s an overpriced dud.
I don’t care that this listing is an FSBO – it’s more money for him in his pocket obviously! – Obviously, he doesn’t want to someone to do a better job in marketing his house than he can and he failed!
Sorry – you are asking 3.5 million dollars for a property and you can’t take 5 minutes to read the book – “Dummies – How to sell your house”?
-Gimme a break! – hard lesson learned! oh well – I certainly do not feel bad
it was overpriced AND the pics the seller chose were poor. Back to the drawing board I guess.
Maly,
$2.8M would be a significant cut, almost 20%. Yet if we trust the broker figures (should we?) $2.8M/3,200 sq ft = $875. That is usually a post reno post updated mechanicals number for a Cobble Hill Place street.
HFS
REALLY speaks to the absurdity of it being listed at $3.45M. This is not someone trying to sell their house. This is someone living in fantasy land.
Gemini, the listing for Tompkins Place was FSBO, and is now gone from the Marketplace. Come on, seller, don’t be afraid of feedback. It will help you sell your house.
Anyway, assuming the public info is correct, and the house is 3,200sf, it would be hard to sell for $3.4M, unless it had ultra-luxury features like a swimming pool and a 2 car garage on a wide lot, that sort of things. As it stands, needing CAC and all the attendant modern upgrades, $2.8M would be sweet success.
Same goes for President Street, the price seems in line with renovated properties rather than the euphemistic “well maintained for 40 years.”
I like the house on 7th street. It’s a rest for the eyes after that done, done, done HOTD yesterday.
Instead of “Open House Picks” it would be more appropriate to call it “Lame House Pics”.
are those plastic floors on president st.?
