Jul. 1, 2008 - 116 West 14 Street closes at very old price / why so long?

recycled listing, very successful marketing

). It closed recently, with a deed filed June 16 for $4.75mm.

I still think that January 26 has interesting commentary, but here's the punchline: it came

market originally in June 2007 (taking only 6 weeks off the market before

firms in January 2008) for $4mm. That original firm offered it at two higher prices ($4.5mm after one week in June, then up to $4.75 in July), then

had it at $5mm from January until the contract was signed in 4 weeks.

The

marketing was beautiful (you can see some of it on this

), but it is weird that The Market did not reward the first firm with a contract off of $4mm, $4.5mm or $4.75mm yet

got $4.75mm (quickly!) while asking $5mm.... This looks like a beautiful renovation, indeed, but the living room overlooks 14

Street from the second floor.
