The Sunday Real Estate section of the New York Times regular feature by Joyce Cohen, The Hunt, today profiles a woman who seems to have spent much of the last 18 months looking for a 2 bedroom with light on a narrow slice of the Upper West Side. She event

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

I checked in at 66 Ninth Avenue (The Porter House) on August 16 (Porter House loft may be "beyond the beyond" but sells off a million, up 40% or down 25%) to tell a tale of Manhattan loft sellers who recently closed 40% above their November 2003 purchase

Of course The Market does not care what a seller has to pay, or has paid; The Market only cares about what the seller and buyer can agree upon. In this case, the July 31, 2009 buyer of a renovated loft and the June 19, 2008 buyer of a blank canvas agreed

I recently had a conversation with a former shareholder in one of the Manhattan loft buildings that I visited in my March 25 lengthy rumination, am I a coward? assessing + bearing risk in a risky world, as she was curious about how her former neighbor's l

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

The Manhattan loft #3S at 155 Franklin Street (the Sugar Loaf) was one of only five lofts in Tribeca that closed in June, per recent articles in The Real Deal Trouble in Tribeca. For a seller who started so far from The Market in October, these folks caug

Speaking of lovely Manhattan lofts (as we were last week, July 31, why isn't a Tribeca premium renovation worth at least 250/ft?) with pricing difficulties (as we were yesterday, ditto), there's a new firm and a price on a loft to root for: this baby just

The Manhattan loft #7A at 105 Fifth Avenue closed on July 22 at $1.125mm, only a 4% discount from the (last) asking price of $1.175mm, proving that if you drop the asking price enough you don't have to discount very much to make a deal. (File this un

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

A Manhattan loft on the 5th floor at 69 Wooster Street closed in April under $1,000/ft, despite the fact that it was "newly renovated in a classic but modern style" and a ridiculously low maintenance ($0.42/ft). These sellers also bit a pretty big bullet

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....

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

It is fair to assume that the sellers of the Manhattan loft on the 3rd floor at 50 Warren Street were quite frustrated with how ... realistic ... they had to be to sell, considering that they started in February 2008 (the height of The Market, pretty much
