After Corcoran failed to move it back in 2006 first at $3,500,000 and then at $3,100,000, the limestone mansion at 535 1st Street in Park Slope has just come back on the market for another try with Douglas Elliman. The asking price? $3,675,000. The princely pad is 4,420 square feet large, but we’re not sure why something that failed to sell 18 months ago would now sell for 20% higher in this market. A the very least, it wouldn’t hurt to have some interior photos to look at. (There is one on the old HOTD link below.)

  1. When these things happen, it is not a sign of a changing market, it is simply the sign of a seller who is either testing the market or is in no rush to sell.

    Whether they get 3.6 million or 2.9 million for the place, they will be able to buy a perfectly lovely mcmansion in ft. lauderdale when the time comes, so don’t come on here saying that the market is crazy, these people are crazy, etc.

    Last I checked, America was a free country and if they want to list this house for more than it was listed in 2006, more power to them.

    Doesn’t mean anyone has to buy it.
