Interesting, so June is here, as you proclaim in the headline, but you haven't posted any price choppers for the month of June. Why is that?

Is price chopping in June a real trend? Why is that?

I would love for what brooks is showing to be the truth. But it just isn't. Anything that's remotely desirable is not getting chopped. Sutton place is terrible. So is the upper east side. No offense. I would much rather move to parts of brooklyn.

So the moral of your story is...sh!++y apartments in sh!++y neighborhoods won't sell? And the shoebox hotel room at the Plaza that faces a brick wall won't sell for $1 million?
Earth-shattering...I'm pretty confident that even the worst offending RE Bulls and brokers would agree with the garbage you're throwing up here.
What you're seeing is basic supply and demand. There's demand for good buildings, good apartments and good neighborhoods. For the trash you're throwing up here? Simple supply and demand...
Agree that there will be plenty of chopping to go around...just means they weren't priced properly from the start...hardly a city-wide trend.

brooks, it appears in west67's absence, and inododo's that falcogold is going to stand up for you. guess you have someone in the sandbox with you.
Actually NYC10007, The Plaza is not a sh***tty building and I think the point is that in 2008 that shoebox sold for close to 2Million and today it will not sell at just over 1Million. That is a significant price chop in an exclusive building. That is what this thread is about
And btw, a large % of apts in NYC face brick walls.
What's the point with these examples? Just that the prices are below peak? That's already obvious. Anyone see price chops for new condo constructions?
Apt 23. I'm not saying that the Plaza is a sh!++y building, my point is it's still $2k+/sq.ft. at current ask which is completely ludicrous and excessive bubble pricing.
And thank you, I know plenty of apartments face brick walls. My point is sellers need to price that in. One of many things that was lost during the run-up in the 2000's was the valuation of things like building quality, location, amenities, views...etc. Sellers who think that price/sq.ft. in a mid-century, cookie-cutter white brick co-op facing smack into another building should be the same as a high-ceiling, well lit apartment in a Robert Stern building next door, are simply delusional.
That's what I'm seeing here...a flight to quality, so those asking too much for mediocre apartments are going to have to chop. And sorry, but that Plaza apartment is flat out mediocre when compared to others in the building...same reason you pay $500/night for the first floor garden view room at the Four Seasons VS $1,200 for the identical 3rd floor room with an Ocean View and balcony.
That differentiation was lost on too many apartments and sellers are reluctant to accept that for obvious reasons.
We're not seeing city wide price chopping trends...we're seeing the appropriate price adjustments on product that is simply overpriced.
who are you kidding. every apartment out there is overpriced. How many price increases are there? why don't you start a nre thread showing all those price increases?
...probably very few, because if an apartment is properly priced it sells quickly, so maybe the better comparison would be a thread that shows quick sales at or close to asking price.
Given that I gave up my insider account over a year ago, sadly I am unable to begin that thread.

that is idiotic. you are more stupid than all the other bears put together. just because you want the apartment to be one way (probably you thought you passed up on something hoping prices would continue to drop) doesnt make it that way. EVERYONE here who is actually looking for an apartment disagrees with you.

Have you read a news paper lately? Market is worse.
maybe a better question. Do you read?
so hones is finding an overpriced apartment easy or difficult? or don't you understand the question?
so all the people who comment here who are actually looking for an apartment to buy but can't find one are lying? or is it just more of your bullshit?
why don't you post some links about the weakness of the sales market in manhattan? current articles, not from 2009.
but....
dickface or POS fucko?
so you did not understand the question. That would have sufficed.
ok dickface. I'll play. finding over priced listings is easy. because shithead owners overvalue their apartments. smart brokers get them to reduce to market, where they sell. so what you are doing a monkey could do.
now find some articles monkey, that speak to the weakness of the rental market in manhattan. do it quickly bitch.
i love how you have cunty sticking up for you. do you polish his know so he'll get your back?

i didn't even like the place.
unrealiztic sellers with their overpriced apt will sit for years.
As long as you price them right, they will move. I just sold two properties above my asking price within 10days. It was more than what I had paid for in 2004 and 2007.
kyle, allow me to remind you how the board beat the daylights out of that renovation. (focus was on the kitchen) Apparently there was a another that like the kitchen as much as you.
ba294 is my new hero
Brooks2, you're still not getting my point. I'm not disagreeing that unrealistic sellers are going to have to cut. Keep ranting and take a xanax. Might help with your anxiety.
nyc10007.. thx your point was noted... was just trying to beat down a "troll" ... and you are right, I should go back to ignoring it(the troll)...
back to the Celtics
Falcon, you are of course right. I saw it in person. Uber middling. But the building and location are baller. I was surprised it sold at is price and so fast. But it does reinforce stregnth of this area and these bldgs in gv
One thing to remember in the condo market - lots of money leaving the Eurozone right now and moving to the UK and New York real estate as protection against Euro issues, especially in the luxury real estate sector. The Downtown 3-4 market has been extremely busy since Jan 2012 with many properties that are priced correctly moving to contract within weeks of coming on the market, many with multiple bids. There are always going to be sellers who don't fully understand that just because market reports say the market is strong it doesn't necessarily apply to their apartment. Manhattan is micro-markets - not one market. UES/UWS 1br/Studios move differently than downtown or 2Brs coops vs. condos.
As a seller - pricing at the top is not always the best way to garner the top dollar. Many sellers fear that pricing 'close to the bone' that buyers will offer too low and want a discount. There are always those buyers but serious ones with a real sense of the market actually bid a lot closer to the asking price when it is actually close to what the market believes to be true pricing. In fact, move your property faster and for more when you price it correctly vs. just pricing high and hoping for that 'one'. The latter works in some cases - but you better have a top property and a close pulse on the market. In my opinion, the market is what has gone to contract in the last 45 days that is truly comparable to your apartment. It doesn't matter if 3 Bedrooms are getting over bids downtown if you are on Sutton Place and selling a 2Br coop. What's the competition? Right now? What else are buyers looking at? How long are they sitting there? Those pieces of information can help a seller and broker create a strategy. Monthly reductions because pricing was incorrect to begin with does not make any sense and sends the wrong message to the market. Both for the seller and about the market. Yes, I'm a luxury broker - hope this helps. Best, Tony
Of cse, your market is strong, all others are not. From a brokers mouth to your ears, no eyes.
you guys are crazy
the fact is, more and more unrealistic sellers don't need to cut and easily had their properties sold above the already insane asking prices
tsargent, very well said. I agree with you 100%.
Last year, in a much softer market, I paid 5% above ask for my condo, which was still 9% below the 2007 purchase by the seller. But they priced it right and had 4 bidders, all who knew what the market was and what should be paid. Two of those offers came before the first open house.
All about pricing right...
Its a whole new world out there today. Pricing right to sell, flip or renovate is key these days.
Everybody expects a "can you do better" on any price. Great thread.
