plz talk to geitner and tell us what you can do on that mortgage... and if the unit above sold for $500K... then well... Go past, lemming and straight to BK.

Seriously, why ask $795K when she should be selling for $717K w/o broker... oh shitz... that's why it's going into foreclosure... .she don't speak financials...

Not my gene pool.... thatz the way the mkt rollz.

who pays close to full price for a condo based on only a few facts like this unless they HAVE to be in the 80s west of third? the world is a lot bigger, but people who cannot see that are inherently a little odd, and issues like renovation, floor height, light, views, building financials, become important. Good luck finding your odd ball buyer

I checked StreetEasy and Prudential's website and do NOT see this condo listed. I looked for east 80's condo, 1.5 baths, asking price between $750K and $800K. Then, to be sure, I checked out ALL LISTINGS for Max Dobens and nothing similar to this showed up. Is this real?

Even if it is real, I do not understand how this would be a short sale if the mortgage + condo fees in arrears = $717K and you are asking $795. Also, if the seller is desperate and wants a cash deal for a quick closing, then why would you be asking over $1,050 per square foot. That is very high.

Looks a lot like 1438 Third Avenue, 28A. 771 sqft instead of 741 sqft. CCs and RET very close to the OP's #s. Arguably "west" of Third as the bldg is on the west side of Third Avenue. Mtge is 495k, not 695k. Am I right?

nyc10023: I suspect you're right, but I only see a 420k mortgage on that unit. And I wonder how the owner could have racked 22k in condo fees when he's only owned the unit 10 months - which translates to 5.5k in cc's (and less than 12k combined cc's and taxes) in toto. Methinks we're not getting a straight story from maxd.

maxd, never mind the nutjobs here. They infest every post.

Now, by a short sale do you mean that it's selling for less than what the owner paid, or that you envision a sale below mortgage + arrears?

Also, can you tell me the unit? Why don't you have it listed as one of our properties?

Max: I hope we haven't scared you off. FWIW, I have met your wife and I think she's a good broker.
