3:16 – well, we’ll find out soon enough, won’t we?
i heard there were offers on both places.
they had the open house yesterday for back-ups.
2:29, that’s very interesting. (It’s 2:24 here). Maybe he is in a hurry to sell from a market risk perspective. That would be great for me (as a potential buyer, I’m hoping for a slight dip to be honest). I will say that the broker at 108 told me yesterday that the seller thinks he could finish the place within a week. I found that HIGHLY unlikely (actually started laughing when I heard that).
I suppose, except that as recently as last week, the seller was trying to find renter tenants to fill both properties (even as the units were unfinished). The part marketed as the owner’s duplex was being listed for tenants as well…the listings were all over CL and the brokerages. I don’t know how the seller was planning on finishing the work — let alone sell the properties to move-in (vs investment) buyers with tenants filling the building.
Regarding selling 108 now (unfinished), it COULD be about market timing as 10:50 seemed to imply, but I don’t think so. I think the seller is just trying to sell at the earliest possible time he can, so that he can carry it as short a time as he can. In other words, it will be done by the time close happens, and he can market it as something where the buyer can pick out their kitchens and baths and stuff. It just totally eliminates any risk associated with buyers not liking finishes, and shortens the time he has to carry it. A LOT of developers do this (with new properties and such)- it’s a pretty standard move.
This is 1:35 again — sorry, 1:29 is of 128 Lincoln, not Berkeley. Other than duffing the address, my comment remains — 128 appears to be in much better shape than 108.
Can’t comment on 104.
the berkeley property has a signed contract, from what i understand, no?
1:29, admittedly just judging from the photos of the Berkeley property (but having seen 108 Lincoln in person), the Berkeley place appears to be in MUCH better shape than 108 Lincoln.
