“Its half the price of one of those salt box 16 foot wide south slope vinyl jobs”
As it should be, LOCATION is still the biggest factor in pricing real estate.
That said, I do agree that the pictures shown of the apartments are very very pretty and I am sure there is someone out there waiting to snap it up.
the New york market is correct. Prices are rock steady now. that crown heights house is gorgeous and a STEAL at that price. Its half the price of one of those salt box 16 foot wide south slope vinyl jobs
The agent on the 6th ave listing is notorious for providing misleading information.
That being said, the house is in a great location and probably worth the effort of completing the reno–just not at that price.
would not buy a thing prices are going lower and the agents are getting very desperate. They are leaving the real estate industry in large numbers to look for work elsewhere. Hold out the market is correcting
Crown heights house does look pretty nice – if one is looking for an apartment with parking.
Jaw agape, Zeebee. It annoys me to no end when listings are false. And yes, the house could be nice, but it’s not evenin 321 (not meaning to start a fight, just sayin’).
i had the same thoughts about the 6th Ave house. I walk pass it often and the front fascade seems to be in great shape. Also, it was orginally listed at $1.8m, so either the seller really wants to sell or there is a lot more than cosmetic work left to me done. Also interesting the the BHS listing that was feature a few weeks ago that seems to require more work is listed at $250 higher. I do not understand this market!!!!
Anon 11:55, it needs everything. The broker’s listing is misleading. The current owner inherited the house, stripped out everything because he intended to live there, then fell ill and stopped the work in its tracks. So right now all the demolition has been done. He’s run new plumbing risers and put in wiring for electrical outlets but everything is unfinished and exposed, as in dangling wires where outlets will be, subfloors but no flooring, exposed plumbing. The “new kitchens” are in boxes – Lowe’s or Home Depot – and were waiting to be installed as of last weekend. The bathrooms are not new – that is just not true. This building would draw more receptive buyers if the broker advertised it honestly as “we’ve done the demolition, now you do the rest of the work.” The location is great – that’s a beautiful block of Sixth between Berkeley and Union. We were strongly encouraged to subtract the cost of a renovation from the sales price (already reduced twice, from a start of $1.9M to $1.79M to the current $1.65M) and make an offer, but that’s way more renovation than we want to undertake at this time.
Here’s the correct listing for the Crown Heights Property. And it looks good I might add. http://corcoran.com/property/listing.aspx?Region=NYC&ListingID=918749
