Whatever happened to that little Swamplot Price Adjuster feature — you know, the one where readers report on a property for sale that appears to need some pricing correction, and suggest a better price for it? It’s still waiting for your smart submissions! In the meantime, here’s some evidence that it actually works:
Last November, when a reader nominated the 1920 house perched on an 8,200-sq.-ft. lot at the corner of 10th St. and Cortlandt in the Heights, a bunch of you wrote in to suggest that the list price was a bit steep. The nominator gave a target:
Asking $600,000 for this is a joke and I think it should be at the most $350,000.
By December, the price had been lowered to $450K. And then, by late March, the house was gone from MLS. What’s happened to it since?
You guessed it: A brand new listing appeared at the end of April, with a new set of photos and — what? Is it listed at $350,000 now?
***
Well, close. $360K. But that’s within offering distance!
With proven results like this, don’t you think it’s time to give the Swamplot Price Adjuster another shot? Send us your suggestions!
