Crazy cheap price on that 4th Street house in the slope. Wonder what the deal is there?
Clearly there is cash on the sidelines just waiting to pounce on their choice props.

The What
Someday this war is gonna end..
impressive as usual. that’s lots of $$$ changing hands. must be good to be rich.
I think the Wyckoff over-ask is the more surprsiing. he Wyckoff house had some charm, but it was/is a modest house. I take it as real proof that there is a serious deficit of family-sized living in brownstone brooklyn — so it’s not too bad a value compared to 3 BR condos in CG that are going for $1.5M.
In contrast, the Sidney one was a lovely house on what might be the best block in Brooklyn Heights laid out properly for a narrow house. (Also I predicted it would go at or over ask).
oh please people , read all your comments on the Wyckoff street house! especially Maly.
I’m pretty sure I couldn’t even locate Bergen Beach on a map, but from $796K to $1.48M in four years? Must have been a sweet reno…
I’m with you BH. $225k over ask for Sidney Place is impressive. My broker just told me she thinks the market is up 10% from where it was a year ago.
