My close friends were part of the bidding war at the WT house, but that was months ago (pre-Lehman) – and after an offer was accepted the listing was pulled due to estate issues. My friends went on to buy another house in WT, but that particular house had a bunch of weird issues, driven by the kids who were selling for their deceased parent or grandparent. Not sure it is the best barometer of the HOTD listing.
The HOTD is about 2700 sq feet based on the records. Having been inside houses of both types, there is a big difference between the two.
I thought someone said the HOTD yesterday was 800 sf per floor?
Wouldn’t that make it 2400 sf, thus only 540 sf larger?
And that house needed considerable work.
This house is about a thousand sq feet smaller than the HOTD yesterday.
then that WT HOTD, at 1.6M, is in trouble. Have so suspect buyers with means to buy at 1.6M will be smart & aware enough to take advantage of situation and squeeze hard.
more4less – This WT house is one block away from yesterday’s HOTD. Both are nice blocks.
Very cool to see some real world buying and selling.
“how is the location of this WT place compare with that 1.6M HOTD yesterday?”
I think this is one block down. One block farther from commerce, one block farther from subway, one block farther from foot traffic. Perhaps a slightly nicer block. I’d call it a wash.
