Whisper, Whisper: Decatur Is For Lovers (Not Haters)
When we wrote about 100 Decatur Street last week, we said it would be something of an indicator for the Bedford Stuyvesant market as a whole. If there was any truth to that statement (and, hey, we could have just been full of it) then The Stuy is doing just fine thank you very much….
When we wrote about 100 Decatur Street last week, we said it would be something of an indicator for the Bedford Stuyvesant market as a whole. If there was any truth to that statement (and, hey, we could have just been full of it) then The Stuy is doing just fine thank you very much. According to a tip we got yesterday, the house has received multiple bids, two of them over the asking price of $899,000. Not too shabby (just like those sweet interiors). Word is, though, that the broker’s considering holding one more open house to see if she can do even better.
UPDATE: Looks like our earlier tip about the number of people at the open house fell short. It was, in fact, 167 detail-hungry gawkers. There were six offers. The broker has decided not to hold another open house and has asked for best offers by Friday at 5 p.m.

HOTD: 100 Decatur Street [Brownstoner]
most brownstones have a common hallway. i.e. railroad style.
Lovely house in many respects. But I’m not crazy about the layout. Those floor-through apartments are not self-contained. You have to walk through the common hall to access all the rooms.
PS=$2.8m
CG=$2.6m
PH=$1.8m
FG=$2.5m
just my rough guesses. A lot depends on the condition of the upper two rentals. And is this the best part of the slope, or lower slope, the best blocks of FG, the front garden blocks of CG, etc.
Those spending $2m will probably want it to be a single family.
i know of several houses in bed stuy that have recently sold for well over the asking prices-with multiple bids. one on greene ave, another on lexington…it’s happening-wake up people!!
for the newbies to the site…like me…can someone tell me what the exact house would trade for in PS, CG, PH, etc..just an indication, of course, so we can understand the perceived value of a particular neighborhood. thank you.
Dynamite! Good for them. I love that place. So much for the doom and gloom, real estate bust. People want Brooklyn houses – the prettier the better.
Why shouldn’t they try to get the best price they can? Seems they have a wonderful home. Good for them.
371 Hancock? No competition.
Good for the seller! Good for the broker! And, good for me. Comps, baby, comps.
Poor renters – another open house = evicted or raised rent.
I said it would go mid $900s and quickly. I still feel it’s better than 371 Hancock. http://bstoner.wpengine.com/brownstoner/archives/2007/01/371_hancock_get.html
I hope they do have another open house, and someone who hasn’t had the opportunity, gets to see how lovely a house it is. And the Seller gets what they deserve. Congratulations to the seller for not trying to push the envelope, but just trying to get “true market value” for their home.
