Most Manhattan Loft Guy readers understand why I haven't commented on identifiable current listings for the past year and a half. I am going to make an exception for a loft (a) that I really like, and (b) whose listing agent is practically begging me to c

The Manhattan loft on the 4th floor of 113 Greene Street has sold twice in the last four years, in nice before-and-after fashion. Yes, "before" The Market changed (Lehman, AIG and all that other 'fundamental' stuff), but also "before" it got dressed up fr

I am going to mention this Manhattan loft contract signing while my eyes are still bulging; I will update with a clearing price when (if??) it closes and the price is available. My eyes widened -- but did not bulge -- when I saw that this awfully large l

The full history of the Manhattan loft #6A at 50 Walker Street will reveal just how different this marketing campaign was from the loft addressed yesterday (why be that negotiable in secret? 25 Ann Street closed nearly 25% off ask ), but for now (before t

Transaction costs aside, these January-2007-buyers-turned-February-2009-sellers realized $10,000. More impersonally, their experience suggests that The Manhattan Loft Market in this very specific micro-neighborhood in Tribeca is roughly flat from 1Q07 to

I see that I am becoming somewhat fixated on the calendar -- in how This Year's Market compares to some prior year's market conditions. I am probably not alone in that regard. Maybe this should be called the What Year Is It? Manhattan Loft Guy thread....

There's a beautiful classic old Manhattan loft that was definitely pushing it when it came to market in the summer at around $1,250/ft. I confidently say definitely because it has not sold yet, despite dropping around $300/ft off the price. So this morphs

These Manhattan loft candidates for the Goldilocks question are Soho neighbors in buildings that could hardly be more different. One is a brand spanking new uber-loft; the other is a classic loft. Let's play too pushy or just pushy enough??....

The Manhattan loft on the 2d floor at 716 Broadway boasts of many things: views of Washington Square Park, 13 foot ceilings, "huge" private terrace, and mahogany woodwork. They may not be bragging about having taken 126 weeks to sell, but perhaps they sho

I noticed yesterday that the Manhattan loft #5N at 16 Greene Street was newly updated in our system as Sold & Closed, but no clearing price was visible yet in city records. But when I checked for #5N I saw that #4S closed there recently, with a deed filed

The 4th floor at 543 Broadway has a long sales history and -- as of today -- a new firm and price. Shawn Felker and Denise Joseph of PruDE are now marketing this "classic Soho loft!!" of "2,200+ sq ft" for $1.995mm. I hit it in its last round of marketing

I have removed the content of this blog post, as it comments about the current listing of another agent. For information about why, check out end of an era for Manhattan Loft Guy / a new day dawns?... [Read More]

Manhattan loft #4S at 16 Greene Street is marketed without an even “approximately” for square feet, but looks to be roughly 17 x 80 feet (an irregular Long-and-Narrow with 2 windows front and 2 back). They are asking $1.55mm and $712/mo with a descrip

241 W 23 St #5B still for sale, but why? There are not many opportunities to get 2,000 sq ft of “the very definition of a ‘Classic Loft’” in Chelsea (on 23rd St, but still &... [Read More]
