One of these days I will do a long post about how The (overall) Market is made up of individual transactions that vary widely from The (overall) Market trend. But not today. Today the news is about a Manhattan loft that is anomalous only if your theory is

The Manhattan loft #2B at 161 Hudson Street had a pretty good run through the 2009 market, starting at $2.7mm in March, dropping twice in April (to $2.5mm) and closing June 30 at $2.41mm. That quick history shows that they really wanted to sell, and had a

The Manhattan loft #3W at 66 Ninth Avenue (The Porter House) was marketed very enthusiastically at prices The Market was not ready for. It cleared on June 23 at $2.15mm, which is a difficult number to put in context. In the context of neighborly competiti

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

The Manhattan loft conversion at 158 West 23 Street started marketing in mid-2007, offering floor-through lofts of "1,865 sq ft" that were offered as open spaces with full kitchens and (usually) (only) 1.5 baths. I.e., not exactly white boxes, but with sp

You'd think that a stem-to-stern high quality renovation of a Manhattan loft would both (a) cost and (b) be worth at least $250/ft, wouldn't you? There is a loft in prime Tribeca that was gutted after being purchased in April 2007 right around $1,000/ft a

The Manhattan loft #8 at 43 East 19 Street is a lot of loft: "4,100 gross SF per floor" plus a huge terrace (half the size of a full floor, at "2,050 sq ft"). The listing description emphasizes volume over finishes, while noting "wonderful original detail

Officially, the Manhattan "loft" #4A at 175 Sullivan Street was on the market only since January 2009 ("starting" at $3.25mm) before closing on June 16 at $2.65mm -- an apparent 18% discount. But the longer listing history tells a longer, darker story....

The Manhattan loft #5B at 107 West 25 Street closed on June 25 (the deed was just filed last week), the first loft to sell in this small building since 2007. Please raise your hand if you are surprised that values have changed in the building since 2007..

A not-quite-recent new listing of a Manhattan loft caught my eye because it is in a building in which i have recently looked at a recent sale compared to past sales, and found a 2009 clearing price that approximated an old clearing price. Based on the ope
