House of the Day: 7 Columbia Place

Like their counterparts on Wall Street, real estate brokers love to see high turnover. Fees, fees, fees! With her latest listing, Corcoran agent Beth Kenkel is looking to generate 12 percent in less than 12 months. The charming woodframe at 7 Columbia Place was a House of the Day last March, when it was listed for $1.6 million. We called it “a steal” at the time and it looks like we were right: The property changed hands in June for $1.8 million. Now it’s back on the market with a new color and a new price $1.995 million. After Beth and any co-brokers take their cut, the new owner won’t have a lot to show for her effort, so we’re suspecting that this sale is one of necessity not opportunity. Does anyone know if any work was done to the interiors (besides clearing the previous owner’s extensive clutter)?

unless she was involved in more than one transaction related to this house.
Unless she reps both the seller and the buyer (in both transactions), she’s actually only getting 6%.
As long as the new color is of the period and approved, you can change the color of a house in a historic district.
What do you mean, “new color”? How could they have changed the color of a house in an historic district?
I think the issues are with the foundation. it’s right above the subway line there.
Shame there are only 1.5 bathrooms in the whole house.
You go girl
What a wicked-cool house. Anon 12:14, what kind of “structural issues” are you referring to? Also, does anybody know if this place’s proximity to the BQE is a drag?
no work done. structural issues that first buyer wasn’t aware of (thinking it was “a steal” and not doing proper homework). owner will lose $$ on this. also, was listed with another broker for last several month at higher price, no takers
