In trying to “splain” these prices, don’t people know that often a seller dictates the price to a broker, and the broker has no choice but to list the property at that price and let the seller see how the market responds. Sellers often decide on the price they want based on rumors, newspaper articles about what something else sold for, etc. What a willing buyer offers and a willing sellers accepts will determine what the real market price is at that time.
Ft. greene place is BAD. Not a ounce of detail left. A developer will grab it for 1.7.
Do you really think FG could go bad again? I don’t think so but would be interested to know what people think..
FG is good now, but it can go bad. Late 80 s were great, by the early 90s I was crunching on crack vials every morning.
Landmarks might not let you put them back on if you take them off.
If one had the $2.5MM to buy the place, one would also certainly have $1k to have them removed…
Fort Greene: Does it bother anyone else that the beautiful floor to ceiling windows on the parlor floor are covered with iron bars? For 2.5 million do you want your main living space to have bars? Is that really necessary in Fort Greene at this point? I understand basement level bars, but needing to have them on the parlor floor in the front is a deal-breaker for my 2.5 million (not that I have the money anyway).
Either the real estate industry in NY wants to collectively kill what’s left of the market, or . . . I don’t know any other reason why so many overpriced s-tholes would be displayed with such sheer vulgarity.
Fort Greene might sell for location reasons only (and for way less; I’d be shocked if it got over 1.5m) but what do you do with this dump once you buy it? Rent it out to grad students? And how soon do you get a return? Also, FG seems to be growing out of its middle-class cheap-skate status and becoming trendier and more fashion-fancy with each new soho/williamsburg restaurant, so even the rental market would probably demand something a little more upscale, less NYU-low grade.
The other places look overpriced too, though I don’t know those neighborhoods, but judging by the responses, everyone’s kinda aghast at this BS.
Does anyone know what happened to that “steal” on Washington for 1.9? Has it been stolen yet?
Hoyt st is a total ripoff. Needs a ton of work, bad layout, crappy block. It is close to Smith street though. Berkeley Place is awful, the place reeks of old lady that bit the dust.
291 Hoyt is 2 miles away from the Red Hook Fairway. Both agents are VPs. Exactly the stuff that gives brokers a bad name.
Don’t think that’s subflooring at Hoyt St. Planking like that was always used in brownstones of an early era when BH was developed, before parquet and fancy wood flooring became all the rage. The assumption was that the owners would cover it with an area rug.
