16 Hudson contract / 3A beats 3C?

sibling sales
I hit Unit 3A at 16 Hudson Street when it was new in September and asking $2.495 (maintenance is $1,800/mo) for “1,860 sq ft” with (as I said then) “one cook’s kitchen, two renovated baths, three bedrooms and 12 windows”. (September 6: 3A seeks to top 3C at 16 Hudson)

size vs. finishes
With such a recent and nearby comp, I said in the earlier post:

I wonder if the #3A buyer seller already knows what the neighbor’s contract is worth next door….

what does the comp say?

Compared to #3A, #3C has a more ‘interesting’ layout, as it is almost a triangle. I recall the kitchen and baths as being pretty basic, rather than “cook’s” or renovated (I saw it early this year, with buyers who inspired my March 15 Jagger’s Law of Imperfect Lofts / life is compromise (sigh)). This space does not immediately open up the way it does in #3A, and it felt to me a little ‘dated’ (despite — or because of — the “superb floor plan designed by a top architect has withstood the test of time“). As it does next door, the plumbing in #3C is clustered near the door and there is no en suite bedroom.

So I would mark #3C as a little bit bigger and #3A a little more finished (at least as to kitchen and baths). I wonder if the west windows in #3C over Hudson Street can be opened more often than the east windows over West Broadway.

more wonder

I also wonder what the fact that it has taken #3C since last November to find a contract off an asking price of $2.175mm has to say about how long it may take #3A to find its buyer off of $2.495mm….
