House of the Day: 93 2nd Street
We’re surprised the listing for 93 2nd Street didn’t include something along the lines of “Own your own house for the price of a condo!” The 1,620-square-foot mini-house is a charmer for sure and for a couple or small family this really could be a nice alternative to a condo.

We’re surprised the listing for 93 2nd Street didn’t include something along the lines of “Own your own house for the price of a condo!” The 1,620-square-foot mini-house is a charmer for sure and for a couple or small family this really could be a nice alternative to a condo. The house, which traded for $975,000 three years ago, is now asking $1,125,000. We could see it getting pretty close to that. What do you think?

Ed: We’re taking a new price voting feature for a test run on this post. The idea is to get the group to predict what the house will sell for. In a few months, we’ll be able to start to look back and see how close we came as a group! It will also provide some pretty immediate feedback to sellers on whether they’re in the right ballpark.
what fool would pay that price for a very small house and the block is okay. I would pay 1 million or more for blocks like 1st Place to 3rd Place, between Henry and Court and also President and Carroll between Smith and Hoyt. Otherwise, the other blocks are okay. Those blocks are truly beautiful. Check them out. It is my understanding only two blocks in Carroll Gardens are designated Landmark Status. People do your homework first!
The asking price is unreasonable for the size of the house; it’s ony big enough for a small family. Cute though. I say 975K.
The widget is fantastic, a very good addition to a very good website. Perhaps we should track the performance of those who consistently come closest to the actual sale price so that sellers or buyers can seek them out for coffee and prognostication.
Looks as improved, maybe even a bit over-improved, for a 15 ft wide space.
Being like 100 feet outside the fema flood zone, and in the nyc yellow cat 2 hurricane evac zone, its way too dicey for me. I put 750 but my knees would still be knocking at closing. Putting life savings and weather risk together make me extremely nervous.
I’m sure this is a very nice woman, feel sorry for the fact that she financed 90%. It looks like a short sale to me. Maybe the Elliman wizards can come through for her.
This house is too small and even though its carroll gardens, it not worth anything near $1m. that’s 7k a month in interst and principal payments..too much. Prices are too high in brooklyn and it seems as if the wave of price collapse is moving here..
BTW Love the what!!
By all reasonable measures, this place should be no more than $180,000. But for some reason, rich people want to live in Carroll Gardens. And the schools are good. The crime rate is low. It’s full of annoying boutiques. Sigh. I have no interest in paying these kinds of prices, and I am so glad there are other alternatives in NYC.
Okay. This looks barely bigger than a “trinity” inPhiladelphia. Less than 16 feet wide. 2 bedrooms. Are you all insane? Why possible would you pay this much money for this house? It isn’t that cute. it isn’t that well located. It is tiny. Over a million dollars? Why. why for the grace of god why? I bought my house in crack corner Clinton Hill for 289k in 2001. 2800 square feet. Two units. And this, Over I million dollars? Puhlease.
>”Nomi – I think you put your finger on one reason RE is ridiculously overpriced in NY right now!”
I did? How?
Beatlife, you are right about PS 58 now having a great reputation (in the last few years on par with PS 29, and if you happen to be French, your first choice since it has a French dual language program). However, while PS 32 may be “okay”, it still is definitely not a selling point for people who are spending $1 million on a single family house. Same house in the PS 58 zone could possibly fetch close to $1 million, but not in this location.
