Categorized in: Market Data - reports

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
