House of the Day: Stealing Third?

house
This house on 3rd Street between 7th and 8th Avenues is still showing up as a “New Listing” on the NY Times even though it closed yesterday! As it turns out, it’s been quite a long road for the sellers on this one. The house was first listed last April, and had an accepted offer quite quickly. Then the buyers backed out of the deal in July and the owners were back to square one. It’s been listed this go-round at $1.7 million but, in a dose of reality for current market-watchers, the number on the signed contract yesterday was $1.425 million. Sounds like a steal to us.
