“Appointment only” open houses are not restricted to holiday weekend. That’s bogus. Just a recent example–383 3rd Street had appointment-only open houses every weekend since it came on the market in May. I will assume that the appointment barrier did not really yield enough traffic, as this past weekend (Father’s Day, holiday weekend) it had its first regular, no appointment required, open house.
I went to see 1220 8th Ave (BHS). Great reno.
corcoran doesn’t change their website that fast. they had a best and final a week ago.
“When was 215 PP for sale? I don’t recall this one and couldn’t find it when googled. Couldn’t find it on Brownstoner HOTD’s either. Was this a recent fish?”
It’s a Corcoran listing that went on the market 5/28, had its first and only open house on June 1 (which was incredibly packed), and apparently too “best and final offers” this past week. It was never a HOTD, strangely enough.
PP is still on the mkt, according to corco just not in contract
Couple of weeks ago, first OH, “Estate Condition” — here’s the listing:

12:57–I’ve had to make appointments for many open houses that were absolutely not on a holiday weekend. That is not the sole rationale. I would guess that yes, it’s to weed out the tire-kickers, but sometimes those tire-kickers become buyers.
Sounds like broker for 215 was just lying to people because there are a lot of different stories floating around. Unless someone is going to say what they themselves offered rather than what they heard it went for, none of this is worth believing.

The “appt. only open house” is a tool used by brokers with jittery owners/clients and isn’t really so unusual with “higher end” properties. It keeps everything more controlled both in terms of times and dates and stranger foot traffic. Though this house’s pricetag doesn’t usually have them (not considered luxury. How crazy is that?)
