Open House Picks 6/22/07 [Brownstoner]
Not exactly related to the above-houses, but definitely in the same spirit:
Anyone remember 344 Carlton Avenue, listed with Corcoran for $2.5 over the summer? Lots of brokers said there was a major bidding war, and that the price had just broken the $3 million mark as a result. Well, it recently closed for $20K under asking (see public records). Brokers lie, lie, lie even more than I thought.

Bear Stearns cut 1,400 jobs in fourth quarter, CFO says

Plus plenty of people LOST their jobs this week, I know some of them. These was the same people telling me Wall Street, Real Estate and Blah Blah. They are fucked for the holiday season.
The houses listed will be future foreclosures. They (buyers) was the last suckers on this ponzi scheme.
BTW Wall Street Big Boys are getting out now. You (the suckers) will be holding the bag in the new year. That’s why some are getting bonuses now, it’s their golden parachute.
brooklylove stop trying to be like ‘The What’. Get your own persona .
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
I think he/she just “hates” period.
Sounds like a very pleasant person that 1:44.
I don’t get your point, 1:44. Except that you hate Park Slopers and PLG’ers and anybody who owns and not rents.
“Park Slope is such a wonderful place to live”
The one thing you said I agree with, 1:44.
your “large complex” sucks then.
cause from where i’m at, doldrums is far from what i’m experiencing.
if i’m not mistaken, november was one of the best novembers on record.
maybe you need some new marketing??
My view, and I am not a real estate professional, is that sales hit a wall around mid-July. There has been significantly less activity in the last half of the year than in the first half.
In my large complex, sales stopped cold in late July after being very brisk for about three years.
All that could change next year, but right now I see doldrums. Not gloom and doom but doldrums.
1:41, but it’s $600,000 just for the renovation (which would be a tight budget if you are talking about completely changing layout inside) PLUS carrying costs for several months to a year PLUS rent on a place to live. The big gut renovations get close to $1 million because of that.
Curious, do NYC laws prohibit parking a doublewide trailer on a freestanding home’s yard and living there while doing renovations? That would be awesome.
1:29: everyone in America once lived in park slope. In fact, before ellis island, everyone who came to America came through park slope. park slope is the center of the universe and the people who live there truly believe they are the chosen ones.
You can compare these two, 1:30, as the Park Slope house should have gone for more – based on the comments of the idiots on this blog who think Park Slope is such a wonderful place to live and everywhere else is an afterthought.
Eat it, park slope.
This new feature of brownstoner is great because it points out how stupid you “experts” are at pricing a house and how little you know about the market outside the bubble you live in.
