Miss Muffet’s point is well taken – A lot of the data isn’t as relevant anymore because of the events of recent weeks. We need to look forwards not backwards, starting at post labor day 2008. Still for those of us who have been following it’s interesting to track house sales status pre-September. But not timely enough to base a true read of the market and assess a current purchasing decision.
OK, forget it, it’s not that big a deal. We’ll just see where the market goes in the future, as we follow this feature …
Arguing about the 6 months timeframe now. I like that.
11217 – I’m sure you know I’m not new the blog, but with other “6 months later” posts, the time lag between the date of the posts and the date of the closings was much less – i.e. in September, the 6 months later was featuring properties that closed in July and August. So, now that we are getting later in the year, it just seems not as relevant to feature properties that closed so much earlier in the year.
Miss Muffet…the feature is called 6 Months later. These were highlighted 6 months ago, and we are following up to see how much or if they sold.
Are you new to the blog?
Brownstoner – why are you featuring open house picks that closed in May and June? Considering where we are now, that feels like 2 centuries ago. Besides, I’m quite certain there was already an extended discussion on that 13th Street house and the price it closed at. Can’t you get any fresher closings to discuss? If you want to make this blog current, and track market trends, you need things that are more-up-to-date!
I love watching this. Some agent fishes for a high offering price and the buyer gets it 5-10% lower and they think it’s a bargain. The days of bidding wars are over with rare exception. I’m sure quite a few of those who overbid are sorry now.
That Union Street house wasn’t pretty.
Not sure how you can suggest that 2.175 million for that place is a deal, Dora.
Agree with you slopefarm on the South Slope house. Nice house, but that price they got is ASTOUNDING!
Down from ask, maybe, but if you think $1.765 mil for a South Slope frame near 4th Ave, even a fairly large renovated one, is down from comps, I’ve got a bridge to nowhere I’d like to sell ya.
Does anyone know if Charrette sold the one on 14th with the outbuilding? Just curious.
