Just because 2 houses on same block are priced very differently, it does not mean that the cheaper house is priced “reasonably” – rather, there are still a number of properties that are ludicrously overpriced. These properties tend to have been on the market for a long time, and I can only surmise that the owners are not serious about selling them since no one is touching them with a 10 foot pole. Sounds like this is the case with the WT 1.35 mil house.
Hi Househunt!
I was at the house today and thought other than the basement, which we would finish somewhere down the line, the house was in good condition. After some paint and updating the kitchen and bath at some point…we thought it has nice potential. Loved the details!!!
Plus the house next door is on the market for $1.35M!!! I dont think this house needs $400K worth or work…or maybe I am off on this.
What did you think?
WT house needs LOTS of work.
The Bedford Street house is priced realistically for the current market, it is one of the few houses on this blog that is priced realistically. Forget about the million dollar granny-museums in non-prime blocks or “up and coming” neighborhoods. In fact, even in prime blocks, very few will open their wallets. There is a very real possibility that for the next few years, the NYC middle class will be shrinking. It is a cycle. We are more than due. Where are the good jobs now? Not here any more. How many will be able to carry these huge mortgages?
The Bedford House has its charms–really it does–but some problems too. There’s a decided dip in the floor on the second floor, and it has no backyard to speak of. And the kitchen is some old auntie’s dream kitchen of 1969. That being said, the house has a nice feel, a dry basement, and fairly new mechanicals. Bedford’s a little busy, too, so that may be part of it. I liked the house and if it had a backyard, it might have been mine….
The Bedford house looks like it dates from the 1930s.
I don’t know… I’That Bedford house has been on the market for over a year with various brokers. I’m very surprised it hasn’t sold, too. I think there must be something up with it. Has anyone seen it? The block really is lovely, and proximity to Brooklyn College is a big plus for a fringe area.
At first glance the WT price seems reasonable, but obviously no one’s bitten. At this ask, though, you can get a large 2 br/2ba or a smaller 3 br in Park Slope proper.
Sure, you get a standalone dining room and basement storage, but you also get a dated kitchen, floral wallpaper and a boiler of unknown vintage.
I’d be shocked, even in this climate, if the Bedford house doesn’t sell. Although this is a terrible time to market it, even with a 30% whack.
is it just me or is Corcoran taking HDR photos for their properties?
I’m not saying it’s a bad thing as it makes them more appealing but wondering whether that is a selling point they use for their clients to get the mandates.
