Just Sold! [NY Post]
I’m not saying that’s their only source — they also use ACRIS, etc., it’s just that the biggies do flex their PR muscles here, and newspaper reporters aren’t going to say no if someone wants to do their job for them (or at least part of it). Also with co-op sales, since there’s no mortgage recorded, it can be difficult to know sales prices — those co-op sales are usually “plants.”
Tim, congrats.
My understanding is that broker will ask you if it’s okay to submit it. That happened to a friend of mine and she declined.
My wife and I bought 465 9th Street in Park Slope: it’s a 4 story 20-foot-wide brownstone between 7th & 8th Ave. It’s got beautiful internal details and is habitable, but needs a non-trivial amount of renovation to be nice.
We paid $1.65M; the ask at the time was $1.7M, and I believe it was on the market at that price for less than a month before our offer was accepted (maybe as little as a week or so). This was in July sometime: we signed a contract August 10, and closed Oct 19. I believe it had been on the market for substantially more for a period of time prior to our seeing it. The selling broker was Orrichio Anderson Realty.
Re: paper listings, I don’t really care if it shows up (it probably mostly results in unwanted sales solicitations, etc.), but if they depend on brokers to call these things in, that’s a substantial selection bias away from small brokers & FSBO.
The Sunday NY DAILY NEWS HAD AN ARTICLE ON “CHARMING” Kensington, anyone else see it?
Tim — Call your broker. They send these things in to the papers.
Tim: Will you tell us what you bought and for how much? And whether it was over or under asking price?
I’m waiting to see if my recent brownstone purchase gets reported by any of these columns: any ideas what the usual time to report is?
clinton hillbilly – I just noticed that their seems to be a Clinton Hill Open House tour on Wed. hosted by Corcoran. Looks like purchases of brownstones are slowing down a bit. I never herd of a Open house tour before.
Any brownstone sales lately–seems like the last couple of “Just Sold”s have been all apartments.
