All but one of our Open House Picks from six months ago have been scooped off the market, three of them within a one-month span last fall, despite their varying conditions .

The neo-traditional and utterly tricked-out Degraw Street home went into contract back in October, but is still waiting to close. Tough nuts for moneyed house-hunters in search of similarly extensive amenities, from built-in wine fridge to radiant floor heating and a wireless, multi-zoned surround-sound system, all for the equally luxurious price of $4.999 million as of last listing.

A rather beaten-down Park Slope property offers original detail and space, but desperately calls for an upgrade. It was removed from the market in September, and is now listed at Compass for $2.425 million, $570,000 less than its previous ask.

In Crown Heights, a renovated three-bedroom duplex has all-new everything, but still garnered only $1.62 million — $75,000 under its $1.695 million ask.

Lastly, the recently renovated Bedford Stuyvesant brick two-family did the best of the bunch relative to its ask, heralding $10,000 more than its $1.149 million listing price.
