Havemeyer bidding war

The GMLS office is closed until Monday, but agents can still report transactions online, and so we learn that 6 Robin Place, (“renovate or knock-down”, per listing), which came on the market August 26 at $999,000 and went immediately to a bidding war, has closed for $1.1 million.

It wasn’t long ago that building lots in Havemeyer sold in the $6-$700 range. That has obviously changed.

A brief history of Havemeyer Park can be found here. The original 1947 homes comprised 2 bedrooms and a bath and sold for $10,000. Mind you, that price didn’t include lawns or paved roads, but what the heck.
