Indeed, the price seems absurdly high: It should be worth $ 828,888, the equivalent of just under 740,000 euros. The price would result from the high-priced market, as a broker of the New York Post explained. “It’s way more expensive compared to other parts of Queens, but it isn’t compared to the surrounding lots.” The quality of the local schools would drive up the price of the property, it is said.
Interesting too: Tenants ravage the house – and the owner also has to pay them money.
In addition, the property is at around 450 square feet larger than the area average. According to the advertisement, it offers four bedrooms and two bathrooms. However, it also says there that it is not in a “habitable state”. The responsible agent advises that the buyer would have to renovate it or tear it down completely. The latter would probably also be in the interest of the neighborhood, which Describes house as an “eyesore”as the New York Post found out. A neighbor also wants a demolition: “I hope so. Because it’s terrible.” * tz.de is part of the nationwide Ippen digital editorial network.
