Joke of the Day: Red Hook New Build for $1.8 Mil
We’ve heard of going fishing, but this is ridiculous. This recently built three family house in Red Hook has to be one of the biggest jokes we’ve seen in a long time. Completely devoid of any character or quality, the house has an asking price of $1,800,000, at least double what it could be worth….

Better yet, the broker describes the house as “priced to sell.” Hah! Who in his right mind would even go look at this?

Okay, okay then…I have an honest request for the folks supporting the pricing of this listing:
Please provide exact comparables to support this cheap build-out listing at this price.
I say “cheap” because the pictures indicate cheaper / inferior finishes along the lines of a discount Home Depot route, not luxury finishes or craftwork. Rooms looks smallish with low ceilings, in spite of all the bold claims of wide spaces inferred in the listing text.
And, they’re hiding the location and any photos of the exterior, which definitely leads one to assume the worst (as is often the case in such ommissions).
I don’t mean to offend here, just looking for comparables to back the claims made here about why this is worth any more than $800k.
To their credit, at least they appear to have used a decent camera. (Nikon D200)
But wait! The EXIF data also shows that they only spent about 3 minutes taking the pics.
C’mon – they dont actually expect to get nearly 2 mil for this place with that kind of shoddy effort, do they?
What’s even more of a joke is these sorry-ass listings that these real estate “professionals” are trying to pass of as hard work for their clients. 4 photos? No exterior shots? No pic of the living room, driveway, yard? I’ve seen more descriptive listings for $50 shoes on ebay. This listing tells me absolutely nothing and just opens up the property for extra criticism.
Not to criticize only the agent here – Others are equally guilty of not playing to the desires of buyers to see the merchandise. But you’d think that especially for a property in a still sketchy area seeking to close well above market rate that the agent would make a decent effort.
Brownstoner is very knowledgable about the block by block prices in fort green and clinton hill, but woefully uninformed about the prices in red hook.
Has anyone taken the time to research the cost of properties in Red Hook? Obviously, NOT! Prices are accurate! 15-20x the rent roll is common for an emerging neighborhood…if you don’t like the prices, I’m sure that Staten Island can accomodate your interests!
btw, I am an owner who is selling…name your price.
I think the previous posters scared the agent (and I don’t blame her one bit – some of you guys act like 8th graders.)
her picture has been removed from the website!
