Categorized in: Market Trends
I checked in at 66 Ninth Avenue (The Porter House) on August 16 (Porter House loft may be "beyond the beyond" but sells off a million, up 40% or down 25%) to tell a tale of Manhattan loft sellers who recently closed 40% above their November 2003 purchase

If I am the sellers of Loft 1 (priced only $30/ft below a neighbor with a terrace) or Loft 3 (priced $100/ft below a neighbor with a terrace) I would be worried that my listing will help sell Loft 4 to anyone who (all other things being equal) would prefe

Categorized in: loft neighborhoods / NoHo
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
