Speaking Of Crisco

Friday, April 20, 2007

Big doings at Crisco. The price has dropped yet again -- don't believe the sign. And now American Properties has found a listing agent willing to take on the props. Burgdorff Realtors has the listings and the price for #3,5,6,7,9 Christopher Court are all $1,095,000.

Wow! At that price, I'll take two! Maybe a third for the dog!

Posted by Captain Vegetable | April 20, 2007 11:48 AM
 

I'll take one in every color.

Maybe they should try dropping the annual property tax bill ...

Perhaps they should simply demolish those stucco-clad monstrosities and start over again, this time with something a little classier.

I just looked around the Burgdorff Realtors site - and these listings actually jumped out at me. All the other Motnclair houses had a picture of one and only one house - then you see the pictures with these listings and everyone has some small part of the house next door in it! Too funny that they can't even take a decent picture to market with.

I see that Barbara Lewis has listed them. If anyone is going to be able to sell these, it's Barbara. She'll have them all sold within two months.

clearly they have no view out the side windows. luckily some of them will have views out their rear windows of that great looking scarecrow and the dump next to it

Miss Martta-

You can have it in any color you want, as long as it's bland.

Posted by Captain Vegetable | April 20, 2007 1:29 PM
 

Individually, they actually aren't bad-looking houses. They're just too many of them crammed into the lot and they're too close together. What WERE they thinking? Right. money.

But even so, the RE market has taken a slight downturn. If they were tough to sell in a GOOD market, they're that much tougher to sell now. Prices are going to have to come down way below the $1M mark.

Am I correct that NOT ONE has sold yet?

Let's start a pool: Date and price, confirmed after the deed gets recorded.

Posted by Walter Mitty | April 20, 2007 1:48 PM
 

Correct me if I'm wrong but only one has sold so far?

Posted by Miss Martta | April 20, 2007 1:54 PM
 

It's great...For $1,095,000 you can share a driveway with your neighbor!

Yes can anyone please confirm if one of these homes have sold yet? An please indicate if it was an inside sale to an American Properties employee/agent/partner.

There are side bets riding on this answer.

Thanks

They should raffle one off!

Posted by Captain Vegetable | April 20, 2007 3:38 PM
 

CV: I like your idea. But if I won, I would move it onto the land I own in W. Va.

Posted by Miss Martta | April 20, 2007 3:41 PM
 

If I'm gonna spend over a mil on a house (yeah, hello!) I sure as hell don't want it to be for one close enough to my neighbors to hear them break wind!

Posted by SirGadfly | April 20, 2007 4:10 PM
 

Silly. People who live in $1M + homes don't break wind. They hire someone to do it for them.

Posted by Miss Martta | April 20, 2007 4:13 PM
 

Sigh. Seeing a business venture fail isn't actually all that much fun.

But please remember the history --

There was a beautiful, historic hotel on this lot. OK, it was run down a bit. But the township (current _and_ prior administration) let the historic designation slide and that allowed for essentially uncontrolled development on the land.

The only way to prevent the next Crisco is to work on getting a historic designation for real esate throughout Montclair.

Posted by overthinking montclair | April 20, 2007 5:17 PM
 

Amen to that.

Posted by Miss Martta | April 20, 2007 7:35 PM
 

We should get Crisco a historic designation as a real-life ghost town.

Posted by Captain Vegetable | April 20, 2007 7:36 PM
 

i drove down the crisco street this weekend. It almost has a movie set feel to it. Very spooky. There were actually realtors showing the homes, so they are getting some foot traffic.

Posted by Easy Rider | April 23, 2007 7:52 AM
 

I know for a fact that at least one of the houses are sold.
