I believe that the Bergen St property was originally priced at 2.6 million through some no-name realtor (I think it was the developer) Saw it at an Open House in April or May last year. The backyard abuts a school playground , I can imagine it gets pretty loud around mid-day.
FYI according to property shark, bergen street is 2880 sq ft which comes out to $727/sq foot, but sq footage is actually over 3000 with new kitchen addition.
Or sometimes people will price a property high if they are not pressured to move yet, thinking IF they can sell at a certain price they’ll do so, otherwise they’ll stay. Not all people sell are desperate to sell really soon. I think sometimes some of the highly priced properties that baffle us are people testing the market, seeing how much they can get. It only takes one buyer to go for it.
All depends on your monthly carrying costs, if you’ve moved out yet and are therefore paying taxes, insurance and monthly charges on two places, and if another deal hinges on the sale.
If you’re a seller would you rather have your house on the market for 6 months and get $2.1 million (as Bergen St. did) or for three 2 months while getting $100-$200 K less?
The williamsburg condo that was on the market for a year was the last unit of a 14 unit development so the 1-yr on the market needs to be taken in context.
I mean Prudential Douglas Elliman and Nancy McKiernan Realty. Sorry Corcoran.
Greater fools are falling for the dead cat bounce. Good catch 11:08. Your busted Corcoran!
26 Bergen is $842/ sq ft which is crazee high
