When 590 2nd Street (right) hit the market three months ago for $3,200,000, we thought it had a pretty good shot at finding a buyer. Apparently not, as the price was just cut to $2,995,000. This, coincidentally, is the same asking price as a new Brown Harris Stevens listings in The Slope, 130 Lincoln Place (left). Both houses are two-family, four-story brownstones, though the 2nd Street house is slightly larger, according to PropertyShark. It also gets the benefit of the doubt when it comes to interiors since the Lincoln Place listing is lacking in the photo department. Which do you think has a better chance of selling at this price?

  1. Amazing. 2 full days since this house was featured on Brownstoner, and 4 full days since house was listed and still not one photograph. If I were the owners, I’d immediately slash her commission by 80%. I’m a prospective buyer, and I don’t waste time going to open houses if there aren’t any photos up before that day. Many people use the listing photos to screen out their options. This is really pathetic.

  2. wow 11:28. shows how insane NY RE has gotten in a very short time. you only needed 34k for 20% down on that place and got over 900% appreciation in 10 years. also helps you see why that isn`t going to happen in the next 10.

  3. How does Libby Ryan get all these listings? I’ve looked at a number of her listings over the last few years and she is sooo nasty to people. She all but sneers at you. Why do sellers like her so much? If I had a house to sell, I would want to give the listing to someone who was pleasant, easy to deal with, and didn’t turn off totally qualified buyers with her snobby attitude.
