What are you doing later this afternoon?
The East Manhattan auction house at 1400 19th (5br/5ba, 4301 sqft.) is expected to sell later today.
(The home is listed by Edward Kaminsky, eXp Realty of California, Inc.)
The auction closes at 4:00pm. The last hour or so leading up to that could be exciting. The last 20-30 minutes, for sure.
You can follow the auction action live online here at this link. (Goes offsite to Sotheby's.)
You'll have to register (but not put down any money) to see the bidding activity live. (There's even sound. Might be NSFW, but most likely just a ding here and there.)
For more background on this auction, see our first post from last week here. The auction began last Thursday, online, with a few quick bids.
An opening offer of $1.500M was quickly beaten by $2.000M and then $2.070M.
Another bid shot up the price to $2.560M, immediately bested by $40K to $2.600M.
And that's where the bidding has stood for 4 days.
They're asking for bids in $100K increments, so that the current "ask" is $2.700M.
We are not registered bidders, just sports fans in this instance, so we can't say from the back end how the bidding works for individual buyers.
But the initial activity suggests that there's a bidding system where you can set a target price and increment to beat others by, then watch as your bot defeats other bots (or doesn't).
It's a standoff now, till we get closer to the deadline.
Remember that the winning bidder must pay a 12% premium on top of the purchase price.
So that current $2.600M bid is actually going to cost $2.912M.
A final bid price of $3.000M would actually cost $3.360M. And so on.
Bid Watchers' Cheat Sheet
We took a look at East Manhattan sales over the past 300 days.
We restricted the search to those with 3000+ sqft. of interior space on lots of at least 6000 sqft. (almost all turned out to be on 7500 sqft. lots, just like 1400 19th; we've noted the two that have smaller lots).
Here they are in price order:
1250 3rd (5br/5ba, 4230 sqft., 6266 sqft. lot) - A 1990 build in very, very rough condition. Sold for $2.700M in May.
1505 Gates (5br/4ba, 4026 sqft.) - 1998 build, had been a rental. Sold for $3.125M in March.
