Comps are kind of waste of time unless you’ve seen the inside of these houses.
127 Congress St –
$2.2mil for the lower duplex. Whouah ! That would bring the whole house value to about $3.5mil (if you discount for the upper floor and no outdoor). Go Cobble Hill !

i can see the top of this place, which seems to have a pretty extensive roofdeck. big trees, fence, etc. so upper unit will have nice outdoor space with city view. so maybe even more? by the way, there’s 2 more floors above this unit.
^^with the lis pendens (not the lien).
on 11th street, a lis pendens filed in march 2008 and there is no note that it was released or that the mortgage was satisfied. so perhaps the sale was with the lien?
No – no inside info. You’re right – it could be a shell. It’s just that I know that block pretty well, and it just surprises me, that’s all. It is a desirable block, in an excellent school district.
Compare this with similar prices between 4th and 5th, and it seems like a good deal, for now. Could be even better next year.
My guess on the 11th St. house is it needs a LOT of work–still, it is an interesting comp. However, we still have comps of just a month or 2 ago of $1.995 on 14th btw. 4th/5th so comps are all over the place!
Why is that fishmonster123?
Do you know anything else about the house? The condition…anything??
If so, please share.
I’d love to know how you can correlate this one house to an an entire neighborhood without seeing one picture.
For all we know, it was a shell.
1.2MM for a 3 fam on 11th between 6th and 7th is very, very interesting. I feel like that comp alone can reconfigure a whole set of multifamilies in the South Slope.
Cobble is very impressive.
