House of the Day: 47 Willow Place

47 Willow Place (along with its three sister houses at 43, 45 and 49) is one of those houses that makes Brooklyn Heights such a special place. The 21-foot-wide Greek Revival structure is particularly notable for the colonnade that runs continuously along the facade of all four houses. The $3,450,000 asking price is on the low end for a house in this neighborhood, but then again there’s only about 2,100 square feet of living space (not including the basement rec area) in this one. 49 Willow Place traded for $2,300,000 back in 2004, though we have no idea what kind of shape it was in. This house, though, has been recently renovated. So what do you think?

“At best, Corcoran is being professionally irrespnsible by letting their clients’ imaginations run away with them. At worst, they are committing fraud to get listings by telling these people that prices this absurd are feasible. Which is it?”
neither.
you have no idea what the broker set the clients’ expectations at. if he asks $3.5M and gets $3.2M, the client may be thrilled.
i never understand why people get up in arms over asking prices. asking prices are just that.
if it’s priced too high, it will come down. simple as that.
using words like “fraud” imply a very simplistic understanding of the world.
Thanks, 1:58.
Anyone who continually uses the term “asshat” (made up by a person who has fabricated an entire string of lies and actually is a broker in New Jersey) is either a sheep or someone with an IQ similar to that of a 12 year old girl.
It’s like Paris Hilton going around saying “that’s hot” every 2 seconds.
To 1:39:
“Windowless” top-floor bedroom is in front, not back, and has skylights in pitched roof. Ceiling is probably pretty low along the front wall. Some of the neighboring houses in this row have dormers instead of skylights in these locations.
1:46 that is
what agency does 1:50 work for? his transparent anti-corcoran comments are annoying. sell something. stop complaining to bitterly about corcoran taking all your market share…
Thanks, 1:46. I think that’s probably the right answer to my question.
Think this will go for over ask.
AS long as people living in $3.5 million (and up) homes run this city.
