3. GREENWOOD HEIGHTS (?) $1,425,000
157 19th Street GMAP
Tough to pinpoint a neighborhood on this location, and the whole transaction seems slightly bizarre: The two-family house was first listed for $1,250,000 way back in December ’07, according to StreetEasy, went on and off the market a bunch of times, and was ultimately asking $899,000 last November. So how did it sell for $1.4 mil??? It’s 1,800 square feet and last sold for $605,000 in 2007, per PropShark. Entered into contract on 7/9/09; closed on 7/9/09; deed recorded on 8/5/09.

5. DYKER HEIGHTS $$1,125,000
1315 74th Street GMAP
This house was asking what it went for, according to this listing. Entered into contract on 4/12/09; closed on 7/22/09; deed recorded on 8/7/09.

Reminder: Biggest sales are just that – biggest, outliers, prone to anomoly.
Antidope:
DH can probably clarify for us, but I believe the Mill Building is special. It’s one of those real loft buildings in a great location.
Please also keep in mind that at 2000 sf, the place traded for $625 psf. That means to me that those NSP white boxes in the sky and all the other new construction crap are going to need to come down a LOT more when you can get an awesome loft for that price.
wonder what the “prices are back to 2004” crowd think of the williamsburg trade.
7/27/09: 1,250,000
7/18/07: 1,100,000
a) idiot buyer.
b) mortgage fraud.
c) spoiled hipsters.
d) rich people don’t care about a few hundred grand.
e) [get creative folks]
And i’m waiting for the inevitable spin…you gotta go up 10% before hitting 50% off?
This in condo overfloweth williamsburg.
lipstick on a pig
Your info on Dyker doesn’t look correct to me:
Dyker Heights sold for 1.175 million according to Streeteasy.
And it was asking 1.250
I’m sure all these buyers are far happier in life than you, BHO; and I don’t mean just because of having the money!!!
The Congres Street Co-ops are not that tall — only six stories (I think), and significant parts are set back from the street.
Just curious – can anyone see what the burg place traded for in 07?
More like Greenwood Depths…
