Sorry to disappoint but, what with the holiday weekend and all, there ain’t a whole lot going on in the open house department. Feel free to use this thread to discuss any interesting open houses you can dig up. We suspect there will a batch of new listings hitting the market in the weeks after Labor Day, though, that should provide plenty of fodder going forward.

  1. I agree. The house has potential but no pictures of the kitchen and bath make me suspicious. Although this is a prime location, the price will have to be reduced by three large ones.

  2. CHL: pics make look like nice house but probably needing work….What was last house in BedStuy to sell for $1m+ —
    and was it fixed up ?
    am assuming this must be best/historic district BS for them to ask this much.

  3. here’s an idea I’ve been toying with. what if you went to a condo building (not new) and did a reverse-inquiry FSBO for 3% less than the last true comp. In other words, mail out some flyers indicating interest, and split the broker’s commission between yourself and the seller.

  4. for the amount of effort I’ve put into choosing the right kind of property to buy, I’d think the community would step up and show me some decent supply. Am I the only one who feels like there’s nothing new out there? Where’s all the short-selling by laid off bankers, and the profit-taking by investors? where are the capitulating developers? people are apparently in a better cash position than I thought. stuff is either pulled off the market or out there for months….

    is more really coming?
