I repeat: the price cuts are just beginning!
funny how Clifton Place is Clinton Hill on the ad in the NYtimes
Do you think that BBR is splitting commissions with those ladies pictured in Carroll Park? What a pathetic listing. “Hey, spend 3mil because we have Frankie’s and the gals. Oh, and check out my faux-artsy photo of the subway stop. I took it on an angle – bet ya thought it was taken by a pro, huh?”
The 2nd Place building is a case where the owner really has unfortunate timing.
If a 34ft building is overpriced at $3.1M on a really special block, then how much should a 25ft, 20ft or 18ft brownstone go for?
Not to mention, just the thought that a 2-bedroom apartment should cost $1.5 million makes me a little ill. That would simply be spending money for the sake of spending… with no connection to the value (real or imagined) of the product/property being purchases.
Seriously… cwbuecheler, I’m not so sure about sebb’s real estate competency here.
$1.5 to 2 million gets you a whole brownstone, three floors all your own. Why would you pay $1.5 million in the same neighborhood for an apartment in a building you share with 2 or 3 other units. (Same neighborhood, apples to apples… not brownstone in Bed-Stuy and an apartment on Central Park West.)
Not taking a position on the CG price, I just think the listing is terrible. Limited interior shots is bad enough, but when you fill out the listing with neiborhood shots I think it’s just insulting.
I think one would have a very difficult time selling each floor of that CG house for 1.5 million in this market. I’m sure sebb is more informed than me about real estate, but 1.5mm for a 2 BR (most likely) co-op/condo seems out of line even for the nicest areas of Brooklyn. There are cheaper places in Dumbo, Center Slope, and Brooklyn Heights.
That PH house has some promise. Why doesn’t the broker’s site give more info? It’s a 2-family — but is it a triplex with a rental, or a double duplex or what? I’m guessing the place needs some serious work for that price (and of course there are no interior photos), but still worth checking out.
