Open House Picks: Six Months Later
Other than the Windsor Place sale, not a lot of reasons to cheer. Correction: We just got an email letting us know that the Parkside house is actually in contract, allegedly for the asking price of $1,175,000 for an unknown price. Open House Picks 2/29/08 [Brownstoner]

Well, if 272 Windsor is in contract, i somewhat take back my comment that no one is buying. I only based that on what I see here; but if people are buying in PLG, that’s a good thing. If homes are trading at a huge discount to ask, that’s still OK by me. So long as there are buyers and homes aren’t falling into disrepair or foreclosure…
What source lists 272 Windsor as in contract?
Well we could also take Brownstoner at his word but I hear you.
who cares about the source? this is basically just real estate gossip, not hard news.
Wasder — I’m not suggesting that he identifies the person by full name, just say “per buyer” or “per seller” or whatever. If it wasn’t public before, that won’t give anything away.
LOL–I don’t think there is any hidden, secret agenda with people not being ID’d as the source of sales info. if people were identified as the source of the information on house sales then everybody would know who the buyer and seller were and could go on Property Shark and find all kinds of things out about them. Would you want your email or other personal information out on the web where any lunatic could harass you? Not saying that Property Shark gives out emails but once you know who an owner of a property is its probably not too tough to find personal info out.
I saw the WT house.
It was in my price range, but not worth 1.49
Between 8th & 9th if I’m not mistaken is South Slope. WT starts on the east side of 9th ave. Right?
Mr. B —
It’s fine if the source doesn’t want to be Id’d. But, if that’s the case, you should say so. If you’re putting it up as a “fact,” and nobody wants to have the “fact” attributed to them, that should be known.
For whatever it’s worth, your blog has become a source of news, so facts without attribution, should at least be identified as such. Maybe just say “per anonymous tipster” if there is no attributable source.
