what a difference $675k makes / 1 Hudson Street closes

Aug. 8, 2008
After dropping the price in February to $2.8mm, the 10th floor Manhattan loft sellers at 1 Hudson Street may have gotten a jolt when their 6th floor neighbors put their loft for sale at $2.75mm on March 14 and then dropped their price to $2.5mm by April 9

closing in the Textile Building 66 Leonard Street

Jun. 24, 2008
#10C at 66 Leonard Street was offered for sale in January 2007 at $4.295mm. Our listing history shows a contract signed in February last year but that must have fizzled (no deed was filed) and it was noted as Permanently Off the Market in October. The sam

the problem with anecdotes / reports from 40 Bond Street and Time Warner

Jun. 18, 2008
Like so many newspaper articles about Manhattan real estate, Barbanel's June 8 NY Times piece was a mix of big picture data and specific "facts", in this case about some high-end price reductions. Skeptic that I am, I tend to wonder if the facts fit the s

another Broadway odyssey / 710 Broadway (finally) closes

Jun. 17, 2008
When I hit the Manhattan loft on the 2d floor at 710 Broadway in January, it was in its toddler stage, having passed its listing-birthday in December (Jan 9, 710 Broadway is slimmer after holiday break). Property Shark (but not StreetEasy) reveals the inf

O - d - y - s - s - e - y ends at 714 Broadway with 4th floor closing

Apr. 30, 2008
In the entire long history of 714 Broadway #4 it is surprising that I have only hit it once before February, in a Manhattan loft open house review on October 26

if at first ... 543 Broadway back with fewer dollars

Mar. 31, 2008
Categorized in: Loft neighborhoods / SoHo
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

156 Franklin bites a 9% bullet

Feb. 3, 2008
I hit The Manhattan loft on the 5th floor at 156 Franklin Street when it was new to the market two months ago ..., noting the (anticipated) 4 years worth of appreciation, when it was asking $2.195mm and $1,700/mo for "1,700 sq ft" that is "newly renovated

minimal drop at minimal beauty / 8 West 13 Street drips

Jan. 28, 2008
I hit the Manhattan loft #2F at 8 West 13 Street when it was new at $1.5mm for “1,100 sq ft” of “museum quality” ... and again when the price dropped a second time.... On the market for 7 months now, the seller has the painful choice to sit tight

105 East 29 Street drops price

Jan. 17, 2008
I beat up on the Manhattan loft on the 9th floor at 105 East 29 Street a bit when it came to market ... in what I see (in retrospect) is a new-to-market-and-’going-for-it’ series. ... In that post I discussed a recent sale in the building near this pr

710 Broadway is slimmer after holiday break

Jan. 9, 2008
Categorized in: loft neighborhoods / NoHo
The Manhattan loft 2d floor at 710 Broadway is in its toddler stage, having passed its birthday a month ago. It took only 2 weeks off the market over the break of the year but is back today, at the slightly reduced price of $2.195mm. ... My guess is that

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.
