Sometimes Manhattan Loft Guy gets it right. I posed a question on July 8 that was answered very quickly: will pricing 25% below 2007 hit The Market in a sweet spot? The answer came in an update on StreetEasy the very next day: contract signed. It sure is

The Manhattan loft #2 at 114 Spring Street has (and has had) a lot to recommend it: prime Soho location, "1,900 sq ft", 12 foot barrel-vaulted ceilings, bright lights and cast-iron views, and a renovation described as "magnificent" (Venetian plastered wal

If I am reading the listing descriptions and pictures correctly, the very recent sale of the Manhattan loft #5 at 170 Fifth Avenuefor $2.945mm was essentially flat since the February 2007 sale of #3 for $2,972,500. What has been preserved of the third flo

There's a lovely square loft newly available for sale in a prime Manhattan loft area that is asking about 10% more than the clearing price when it sold in June 2005. I think this is likely to be close enough that The Marketwill reward it with an offer off

There's a pretty big Manhattan loft in a Chelsea corner that has been patient at an asking price around $1,100/ft for 3 months, which is just slightly less than the loft sold for in 2005. Ouch. It is a lovely loft, full of mints and proper proper names, w

Let's try something new for Manhattan Loft Guy. I give you two sales of same-size lofts in the same building, with condensed descriptions and listing histories, and you guess which one is from 2009 and which one is from 2005. Both are said to be "1,600 sq

There's a rather large Manhattan loft for sale at a new price that is $1mm less than the original asking price. When it came to market last Summer (happy birthday wishes are now in order) a smaller loft in the building had just cleared at about $850/ft. T

The first Manhattan loft is #5A at 100 Reade Street, which came to market in August 2008 (immediately pre-Lehman, for those who need that reminder) at $1.95mm and changed firms and prices (trying $1.8mm, $1.75mm, $1,7mm, $1.65mm) before finding a contract
