  1. I love to listen to people attribute the rise and fall in the stock market to Obama or any other particular person for that matter. Truly ludicrous…and he has nothing to do with it either!!!

  2. Ironballs –
    You check the comps. An identical house just down the block on 1st Street sold for $1.75 million in 2006. That year is pretty close to the peak of the market and the sale price equals about $700 per square foot. Clearly the question now is how far off of the peak are we now. I guess we will find out when this house goes to contract.

  3. Yeah, buckfast, you are so right. Red Hook is just like Bushwick. No – like inner city Detroit. Just like inner city Detroit. NO – Mumbai!! Now that’s just the kind of intelligent, inspirational thinking I come to Brownstoner to read

  4. Did anyone go to the open house for 141 Lincoln Place (not on this list)? I would love to hear others’ impressions.

    I went and was disappointed. It’s been a while since I’ve encountered such false advertising. “Loving restoration” means doors patched with gray putty to fill numerous gouges, and hung in an amateur manner with cheap hinges. Only 2-3 rooms had original inlaid floors, all others were new floors or subfloors (contrary to listing description). First two floors appeared to have original staircase (many spindles missing) but remaining staircase had been replaced and painted. The woodwork throughout much of the house looked as though it had been chewed by a dog. “Luxurious central AC” means three 4-inch diameter holes punched vertically into select walls. The main bathroom has to be completely re-done since the choice of tiles is very personal and customized, and unlikely to appeal to most buyers. The facade needs tons of work and there are missing spindles on the ironwork above the lintel. The banister has huge rusty holes. I was really disappointed, given the hyperbole in the listing. The only plus is the long lot.

  5. 11217, since you’re/your/euro/you are being a stickler about language, when you refer to Obama’s “eminent promised tax increases on high earners” is it possible you mean to write “IMminent promised tax increases?”

    I have no idea what you are talking about.

    That quote you posted was from Ironballs.

    Not me.

    Functional reading, much?

  6. Thank you Ppark. I am gong to the Red Hook open house today. Although it may be currently configured as a one family all you need to do is close off the front hall – you can even see where the door was removed just beyond the stairs. That’s how they were designed. My bet is that it sells – and fast. A twenty five foot – of this quality and with these upgrades – never turns up in Red Hook. I never even knew one existed and I’ve lived here for over a decade. The pricing also seems very realistic – certainly 150000 less than inferior homes have sold in the past year. And there seems to be a pool of people who really want to buy kn Red Hook – those of us who own a car or don’t fear the bus ride to the subway.
