Manhattan Loft Guy

out of range, out of mind ... setting records or delaying sale?

Jan. 28, 2009
Categorized in: pricing analysis
The risk in pricing a Manhattan loft above where anything in a building has sold is that potential buyers will be turned off by the price before considering the plus factors you tout to justify a record price. In this market, that is a risky approach -- a

NYC photos / could not stop scrolling

Sep. 25, 2008
Hat tip to today's Today's MUG from Manhattan User's Guide for linking to a forum on WiredNY with an amazing collection of photos, mostly of Manhattan, mostly black and white, some more than a hundred years old. Once i started scrolling, I kept thinki

quick sale at 20 East 17 St

May. 20, 2008
The Manhattan loft on the 7th floor at 20 East 17 Street came to market on March 10, in pretty much the same market uncertainty as today. It took all of 17 days for terms to be agreed upon and a contract to be signed, and shows up on today's Sold & Closed

does 48 East 13 Street have 92% of it all?

Feb. 6, 2008

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

48 E 13 new but does it 'have it all'?

Jan. 16, 2008
Having just had a conversation with Reader Colgin yesterday about why a particular loft might not have sold ..., I was intrigued by the description and pictures of Manhattan loft #3B at 48 East 13 Street, which is new to the market as of yesterday. They

not buying the minimalism (yet) / 8 W 13 drops

Dec. 17, 2007
Manhattan loft #2F at 8 West 13 Street is a beauty that The Market has yet to appreciate enough to buy (or, that the seller has yet to appreciate that The Market is not as fond of this minimalist masterpiece as he is). They dropped the price a month ago t
