comparing nuggets / 4Q Manhattan loft data + overall market

Jan. 23, 2009
Categorized in: Market Data - reports
The loft niche is under-reported in two of three Manhattan quarterly market reports, so comparisons among the firms is difficult (The Miller wins, by default, essentially). The Miller Samuel 156 loft sales must have a very different mix from the unknown n

December volume + absorption / loving the actual data

Jan. 14, 2009
Categorized in: Market Data - reports
Nothing specific to the Manhattan loft market here, but good stuff. To repeat: the Vanderbilt data are terrific because they seem to be solid reporting and because they are interesting about trends. Personally, I find the December volume report to be in t

real nuggets as The Miller counts Manhattan lofts in 4Q report

Jan. 8, 2009
Categorized in: Market Data - reports
Key numbers for me are Manhattan loft transaction volume (yes, there is a market, still) and days on market (but The Market is much slower). Consistent with the Manhattan coop and condo market as a whole, loft closings were at an increasing discount from

more about that Second Quarter / Manhattan loft data

about that Second Quarter / data party like it is 2006

It is (more than?) about time that I commented on the Q2 Manhattan real estate reports, as I have been chewing on them for quite a while (and we are halfway through Q3). The most interesting take-away for me is how well 2008 is doing (so far) compared to

why so hard to count Manhattan residential real estate sales?

Apr. 15, 2008
Categorized in: Market Data - reports
I got so caught up in micro-'analysis' yesterday that I did not get around to considering the factors that make it so hard to get accurate numbers about something as 'simple' as counting the number of coops and condos in Manhattan that closed between Jan

Q108 Manhattan market reports / more on lofts

Apr. 11, 2008
Categorized in: Market Data - reports
The Miller Samuel data show that year-over-year Manhattan loft volume was essentially flat, lofts took a shorter time to sell, while loft inventory was up incrementally. In contrast, the overall market as presented by Miller Samuel shows market transactio

Q4 reports / inventory still low

Jan. 7, 2008
Categorized in: Market Data - reports
The last time I talked at any length about [Manhattan coop and condo] inventory was seven months ago.... That post linked to a Jonathan Miller chart on Curbed that showed inventory as of May 2007 well below the five year average of 5,598 units for sale. S

Q4 reports coming in / demand continues

Jan. 3, 2008
Categorized in: Market Data - reports
The big story for me in the last round of quarterly market reports for Manhattan coop and condo sales was that demand remained at historical highs for each quarter of 2007 (by then). The new numbers for the 4th Quarter of 2007 show that demand slowed from

it's the demand, stupid / Manhattan Q3 market numbers
