They've lowered the asking price to $109k. </p> <p>It's a short sale, and it wasn't moving at $149k. So they figured they would drop the asking price about $20k under market, and see if they could start a bidding war. </p> <p>At least that's my take. </p> <p><a href="http://streeteasy.com/nyc/sale/624286-coop-811-cortelyou-road-kensington-brooklyn">http://streeteasy.com/nyc/sale/624286-coop-811-cortelyou-road-kensington-brooklyn</a></p> http://streeteasy.com/nyc/talk/discussion/31467-meatball-pitch-109k-for-850sf?comment_id=475565 http://streeteasy.com/nyc/talk/discussion/31467-meatball-pitch-109k-for-850sf?comment_id=475565
