Manhattan Loft Guy

Jan. 1, 2008 - top 10 clicked Manhattan Loft Guy posts of 2007


My Ohio blog-buddy Maureen McCabe showed me a way to check for the blog posts that have been viewed the most times (THX, Maureen).

Turns out I should have sent Lockhart Steele at Curbed a Christmas present, as at least 4 of the top ten for 2007 got some link love from Curbed, one other was itself linked in a post that Curbed linked to, and one was published the same day as one that Curbed linked to.

1.      IRS rules for coops / beware the 80/20 rule January 16, 2007
the glory days for this one are over, now that there are easy and legal ways to deal with rental income; see yesterday’s
holy coop Batman! 80/20 hurdle falls down)

2.      the website is coming, the website is coming (so is Christmas) December 6, 2006
So this is the second Christmas without a real website, other than this blog; maybe next year….

3.      so THAT’s what an 8-figure loft looks like / 6 lofts = $65mm September 11, 2007
(evidence of Curbed’s drawing power) somebody please remind me to check to see what happened to these babies

4.      lofts recently in contract March 16, 2007
no idea why this was so popular

5.      please don’t bite the blogger January 16, 2007
(evidence of Curbed’s drawing power) fortunately I have not run into this Angry Agent again

6.      fascinating new listing at 106 Spring / low maintenance and cash back March 7, 2007
(thx again, Lock)

7.      more non-news: well-priced lofts sell quickly at 55 Greene + 55 E 11 December 5, 2006
near in time to #2, but I don’t see why this was so popular

8.      and the answer is … timing the market doesn’t work in real estate September 8, 2006
a brilliant analysis, yes; a fascinating topic, yes; presumably, it earned its clicks the old-fashioned way

9.      American Thread new to market / why so soon? August 27, 2007
funny that this one is like #10 in that it features a not-lofty-loft, but this one is linked in #10, which got some Curbed help
10.  the unloftiest loft ever – 28 W 38 is over-the-top October 1, 2007
a big boost when Curbed featured this one; I should check if it has sold



I guess I will have to do my favorite posts from 2007 soon. (Pardon the navel gazing, but it seems to be endemic to the season)
