keeping it real in Chelsea (or not) as 'too pushy ...?' thread pushes on

The smaller Manhattan loft is priced 7% above its 2005 clearing price; the larger unit 14% above its 2006 trading level. I'd say one is closer to The Market than the other, but what will Goldilocks say?

If you had an East Village loft to sell (and if you really wanted to sell), and if a raving "triple mint!!!" Manhattan loft had sold in the building in the last few months at about $1,100/ft, would you price your loft above or below the triple-mint-with-e

This post started out being about the recent sale of a Chelsea loft, but it got more interesting (and April 9 complicated) because the same unit on a lower floor is also for sale. I can appreciate that sellers don't want to lower prices more than they hav

Today's contestant is essentially a gut renovation opportunity for a large Manhattan loft that changed hands only this past Summer at about $900/ft. Something happened to make those Summer buyers November sellers (stock portfolio imploded, perhaps?), as t

I noted last weekend 2 new listings for Manhattan lofts that struck me as a little aggressive in pricing, both good size lofts in prime Tribeca. One is asking about $1,250/ft for a space (with a new kitchen) that sold in 2005 off an ask (no trading price
