That was fast! The Stuyvesant Heights House of the Day we profiled three weeks ago is already in contract at, we hear, the asking price of $1.2 million. This news should come as no surprise to anyone who read the comments on the original post–there was almost unanimous agreement that, given the size, period details and landmark district location, this would get snapped up without any markdowns. Taking a step back, it’s an interesting anecdotal sign that a high-quality, well-priced house can still move in this market. It also brings to mind a comment we heard from a Brooklyn broker on Saturday night that after a very slow start to the year, she had felt things picking up a lot in the past couple of weeks. Do any other brokers concur?
