Thanks again, ZL.

i think it could move quickly because the ask was drop by 25K 2 weekends in a row so the owner appears to be motivated (from property shark it seems like the owners used their house as a pig bank)
we got there a little late so we only got a quick look … seems like it’s ok but it doesn’t have a parking space … agent says you can add a carport in the front of the house but I think it makes the house look bad visually with respect to the other houses… 663 argyle road recently went into contract with ask of 800K (don’t know the contract price but assume it got ask) I much prefer 663 argyle visuals but I wasn’t able to get a inside look because it went into contract once the ask dropped to 800K
591 Hicks was House of the Day at $800k in 2006:

Thanks for the intel, ZooLander. Do you think it will move at $800k, or does it need to go lower?
nope, not that one… Big back and forth ‘tween MM and CGFan, CGDad on this one.
i stand corrected. moving too fast. thanks.
Wrong — 207 Fenimore taken off the market and refinanced by its owner.
Still waiting for 113 Garfield to close…
5/5/09 HOTD 481 4th St sold 10/14/09 for 1.865, a full 37% under ask AND 13% under widget.
5/12/09 HOTD 178 8th Ave sold 10/21/09 for 2.4, 1% above widget and 20% off ask.
5/18/09 HOTD 207 Fenimore St sold 10/30/09 for 680k, 9% above widget and 15% off ask.
I think Brooklyn Properties lost the listing – it’s not on their list of houses – but they still keep that property holding page.
Since a few brokers keep archived details of their old listings, I often browse through the older listings (Mary Kay’s site is a good example).
