I keep looking at the 664 Westminster listings and then keep getting put off by the single bathroom.

Chicken,
Maybe you should use the restroom before looking at the listing. Kind of like how its bad to go grocery shopping when you are hungry.

Pete, isn't the Sackett Street house the one we sparred over? The location, that is . . . near all the boarded and shuttered store fronts. ; )

I think Brooklyn Properties lost the listing - it's not on their list of houses - but they still keep that property holding page.
Since a few brokers keep archived details of their old listings, I often browse through the older listings (Mary Kay's site is a good example).

Wrong -- 207 Fenimore taken off the market and refinanced by its owner.

> DitmasSnark - I was at the open house last weekend.
Thanks for the intel, ZooLander. Do you think it will move at $800k, or does it need to go lower?

591 Hicks was House of the Day at $800k in 2006:

i think it could move quickly because the ask was drop by 25K 2 weekends in a row so the owner appears to be motivated (from property shark it seems like the owners used their house as a pig bank)
we got there a little late so we only got a quick look ... seems like it's ok but it doesn't have a parking space ... agent says you can add a carport in the front of the house but I think it makes the house look bad visually with respect to the other houses... 663 argyle road recently went into contract with ask of 800K (don't know the contract price but assume it got ask) I much prefer 663 argyle visuals but I wasn't able to get a inside look because it went into contract once the ask dropped to 800K
