one sobering data point / 684 Broadway loft sells slowly, reluctantly

Sep. 24, 2008
Categorized in: Market Trends
About the sale of #7E at 684 Broadway: Based on this one data point, the very-local-to-Broadway-at-Great-Jones-Manhattan-loft-micro-market looks to be flat or worse, year-over-year.

The Penthouse 6 at 39 Great Jones Street came to [the Manhattan loft] market just over 4 weeks ago, asking $2.675mm and $1,600/mo for "2,235 sq ft" of "authentic duplex penthouse" that "sun floods". The Market liked the sun, or the "superb" kitchen, or th

Early in the year, #5E (in primitive, needs-a-complete-build-out condition) sold for $2.495mm (a $5,000 discount to the asking price), while #3E was done ("renovated to perfection", in broker-babble; check the pix) and sold for the $3.1mm ask. #7E gets even more of the sky over the low buildings across Great Jones Street. If it is also done, this is a very reasonable asking price.
