  1. I dunno. Most of the houses I see on Corcoran sight seem to move pretty quickly. (Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Boerum Hill).
    Although the $2.25 modern on Butler (that was thread on this blog couple of times) seems to have been removed from sight, but a $2.25 on Douglass just off Smith seemed to go into contract in about a week. Maybe just so little for sale in this area.

  2. There recently were several record-breaking sales of Brooklyn Heights townhouses on Cocoran’s and BHS’s websites. The ones on Corcoran had been on the mkt for about a year and they sold about 10% below ask. Nevertheless, they set new records on price for the neighborhood.

  3. The thing about the Corcoran numbers quoted is that, anecdotally speaking, they aren’t reflected in their sales of brownstones/houses in Brooklyn. I check on the Corcoran site weekly because I am tracking a house that has been on the market for 9 or 10 months with no movement. I love the house but the price doesn’t seem to match up with what you’d be getting for the money and obviously the market agrees because it hasn’t moved. I thought it was just the sellers of that particular house that are stuck on a number in their head, but, at this point all the listings are super stale — nothing seems to be moving. What’s the story, does Corcoran just not have a feel for the brownstone/house market?
