I agree. I liked the widget and miss it!
it also probably makes no sense to new readers- so i will clue them it……
Where Kara mentions “Average Reader Appraisal” she is referring to a now defunct feature of brownstoner.com- there used to be a widget where users could enter what price they felt was right for a house of the day or co-op of the day, etc……then Mr. B started the marketplace and was strong armed (this is speculation since he won’t own up to it) by brokers into taking the widget down.
FAIL.
Well, I agree with 1/3 of BHO’s post, disagree with 1/3, and think 1/3 rests on a faulty premise. But yes, bring back the widget if only to keep showing the “truth” that it underprices pretty consistently. Makes for a fun discussion, in any event.
***bid widget x 1.15***
“Bring back the widget! Bring back The What! Bring back the TRUTH!”
LOL!
Strong showing for brownstone brooklyn.
I always wonder what the lowest house sales are in bklyn.
Why would it take so long from closing to recording? Don’t the buyers have an obligation timely to record the transfer?
Bring back the widget! Bring back The What! Bring back the TRUTH!
***Bid half off peak comps***
Thanks Kara for rubbing the widget in our faces!!! if you aren’t going to have it on the site, please don’t bring it up in these posts……and the fact that you reference it here PROVES why it was an interesting part of this site and should be brought back!!!
BRING BACK The WIDGET!!!!!!!!!!!
That St. Marks house was nice. About 3% under ask isn’t bad though.
