Apr. 27, 2008 - new Manhattan loft listings + closed sales in last 7 days


This is my twenty-eighth report on the number, price distribution and neighborhood distribution for Manhattan lofts reported as new to the market or as closed sales in the last 7 days,
and the second to include "inventory".

The stats as of Sunday night ...


  • there were 26 lofts reported as new to the market in the last 7 days and only 8 as sold
  • 15 of the 26 new ones are offered under $2mm, while 5 of the 8 closed sales were under $2mm
  • only 2 of the 26 new loft listings are in new development, and 2 of the 8 closed sales were in new development
  • there are (still) 500 lofts reported as available for sale, leading me to wonder why this metric in our system does not work (it has not changed in 4 weeks...)

    Sold = 8

    For information about how I get this stuff and why I slice it as I do, see methodology for New + Sold in The Last Seven Days.


    The new data point(?) is Loft Inventory; see my March 30 review for some commentary about (some of) the weakness of this number.

Interesting - doing the same inventory search on StreetEasy give you 980 listings. I think your rebny system probably has a hard limit at 500.

Here's the search:

Search Listings for at least $500,000 in All Downtown, All Midtown, All Upper East Side or All Upper West Side described as 'loft', exclude listings already in contract.

*Of course* you are right about 500 being a hard limit for the search function on our inter-firm data base, Larry. I realized this as the only logical explanation pretty much as soon as I hit <submit> on Sunday night. (After *only* 4 tries :-( )

I will re-visit Street Easy as a source for this data point, but an early experience with Street Easy made me leery of the "loft"definitions. Maybe that has changed, maybe it is the best I can do....
