A cute 2-Family town house in Crown Heights at 575 Eastern Parkway is scheduled for foreclosure auction this afternoon. It's a 3-story 21' x 50' on a 100' lot with a lien of $875K. It's got no violations, no SRO drama. Condition is anyone's guess, but the bank says the scheduled auction is on. Who knows where the price will land, but a nice stretch of Crown Heights between Nostrand and New York Avenue isn't valued like it used to be. The listing for a narrower 4-story a few blocks east at 676 Eastern Parkway dwindled last year, but 610 Eastern Parkway didn't have any trouble getting around $1M earlier this year. Then 270 New York Avenue around the corner sold for over $1.2M, and 291 New York Avenue turned down cash offers even higher than that!
With any luck, 575 Eastern Parkway is as nice as a neighbor around the corner on New York Avenue that locked up for under $700K just last year before the rebound was really in full swing in Crown Heights. And we figure it's at least as nice as its neighbor at 599 Eastern Parkway:
When a place like this might be worth more than the lien amount and might be go for less than that amount, it may spell opportunity.
Pro's: quaint 2-Fam in a nice pocket of Crown Heights, may go for a value, supposedly bound to sell today, looks nice to us so far
Con's: short notice with little chance for due diligence, takes all cash, no clarity on condition or tenancy
Ideally: couldn't intercept it before auction, so curious to see how it turns out
