  1. 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).
