comedy or tragedy? you decide
My eyes almost popped out when I saw an all-agent e-blast about a new price for a Manhattan loft that happened to get through my junk filter. (Note to self: fix filters.) Then I scratched my head, not sure how to react to this sequence of price changes.

I ended up totally unsure how to frame this, but I invite you to consider the likely conversations between agent and seller implied by this history and to decide for yourself if this is farce or drama:

• new to market in January for $1.75mm
• 1 week later $1.65mm
• 2 weeks later $1.595mm
• 3 weeks later $1.495mm
• 6 weeks later (another price drop, but I don't want you identifying this loft, so I will keep that detail to myself)

Is this evidence of a preconceived plan, or of a shouting match between seller and agent?? I'd love to hear some comments on this....
