Jul. 15, 2008
A top-floor Manhattan loft at 130 West 17 Street was the subject of one of my occasional Going For It! posts way back on September 23, 2007 (when I was still commenting on other firm's active listings), 130 W 17 9S is new + really going for it. As in simi

Apr. 18, 2008
The combo loft at #11CDE 244 Madison Avenue joined 3 units but only got "1,650 sq ft" out of it. Better, they got a contract within 3 weeks of coming to market in January and have just closed.

I noticed that Manhattan loft #3F at 95 Greene Street was in contract as of yesterday in very quick time. It was new to market on January 11, so that is just under 3 weeks. ... This one was offered at $1.795mm and $1,066/mo (condo) for “1,300 sq ft” s

price change (eventually) does the trick at 24 E 20

Jan. 8, 2008
Among the Manhattan lofts listed as In Contract as of Monday is 24 East 20 Street #4, which dropped in price from $2.895mm to $2.695mm after I touched on it last in an October open house review. ... My April comment about price was less than prescient: “Asking $2.995mm seems hardly out of line, given the size and “custom” kitchen and baths, while the maintenance is a paltry $1,150/mo.”

this time may be a charm for 808 Broadway / another contract

Jan. 3, 2008
Manhattan loft #2J at 808 Broadway is a bit of a fave on MLG, which I hit on October 18 after it dropped to six figures and in August when it came back to market after being In Contract without closure. It is In Contract in our system as of this morning.
