When 448 6th Street hit the market with Brown Harris Stevens last October we drooled over its interiors and unusual facade but wondered whether the asking price of $2,825,000. It turns out it was. By quite a bit. Corcoran took over the gig in April and relaunched the listing with a price tag of $2,299,000; since then there have been a couple of small price cuts, including one yesterday, that have brought the price down to $2,149,000. We have to think that this is getting close to a market-clearing price. The only snag we can think of, besides the small matter of the global financial meltdown, is that the brownstone is only 17 feet wide.

  1. Well, 10th Street, they thought their price was right when it first came out and the market has proved otherwise, and all signs point to further declines. This is a classic example of chasing a down market, and I see no reason the price could not decline substantially further. You may estimate high 1’s now (not too far, I presume, from my 1.6-1.7 max for now) but we’ll see if it sells “soon enough”. There are a number of other houses on the market, that, like this one, priced too high to begin with and now are sitting, sitting, sitting.

  2. What, you’re not curious? You don’t want to see pictures of the other rooms?

    So, you’re confirming what I said, that if you have to ask you can’t afford it, or whatever the equivalent here is?

  3. MM – This house will sell soon enough. Disagree on the 1.6m, someone’s going to come in prior to that. Certainly if I was looking high 1’s low 2’s it would be on my radar, it’s a nice place.
