Whatever happened to the 12,000 Square Foot "Best Home in the World" in Lincoln Towers?

must be one of those 2 br uws for less than $1 million that didn't sell.

Anything on this one? Do you think it is over price for this place at 926k?

I think it's overpriced beause when they first listed it, they were offering either a free car or $25,000 in cash. But since they are not offering it anymore, they have essentially raised the price by $25,000!

Someone who must be the owner padlocked a bicycle to the the railing outside the 72nd street subway entrance last week advertising it. I was about to take a photo of it when some guy came buy and dropped flyers into the basket on the bike. "Are you a broker?" he asked me. I said no, giggled a little and walked away. Only after I was on the train did I then think of all the amusing questions I could have asked him. Sorry for slipping up. It won't happen again.

Maybe it's just too fabulous.

They still have a website http://besthomeintheworld.com/ If you believe it they have multiple offers and will be picking the best after May 31st. Its possible they have offers within 25k of asking so they've dropped the incentive. Its also possible they have no offers. We'll have to wait to see.

They're reiterating the "multiple offers" spiel on Craigslist: http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/reo/1197775673.html

May 31 has come and gone; let's see if they go to contract.

They've updated the website website http://besthomeintheworld.com/ to say they've extended the May 31 deadline to June 7.

how cute. Why don't they just put on their website "We Are Big Fat Liars. We do not have multiple offers. Make us an offer. ANY OFFER. For the love of God, offer us SOMETHING!"

Is it still loft-like?

yes, it is. It is loft like with it's 8 foot ceilings.

The Craiglist ad starts
$1771 MAINTENANCE & UTILITIES OR $2,928 PER MONTH INCLUDES MORTGAGE, MAINTENANCE & UTILITIES

So they're figuring you'd pay < 1200 in mortgage. Somebody check my math, but I think at 5% that would be a mortgage of 225k. Assuming you put 25% down that would be a sales price of 300k.
I just don't know why they would throw out these numbers that have no relation to the asking price.

So then I guess they have a pretty realistic sense of what price it'll close at.

MeME, they break down the $2,928 on their website. Basically, they are assuming you can take the best tax deduction in the world and subtract that from your monthlies.

Thanks for explaining that. I'm tempted to take steve with me to the open house, have him explain that the tax deduction isn't real, and offer 300k.

if you do, bring video gear to add to the end of their promo reel.

I can't figure blondie out? I brought a buyer last week, they loved it and made what I thought was a very reasonable offer right on the spot for $900k. They said that my clients offer wasn't even in the top ten, and that they were working on a contract, but had already lost 3 accepted offers over the last month because the grapevine said that the board would not approve the buyers financing. Blondie said that they would not stop selling until the contract was signed (with all the financial bs now that can take 2-3 weeks). That bimbo is probably right, I just had a client lose a contract at the closing, when the bank pulled the financing, this market sucks...is it happy hour yet?

too many projects around. if you are thinking about it - do take a walk after 10pm around the area to see if you can cope with that location

is that you rufus? Come on, we know it's you...

Is this still for sale? http://besthomeintheworld.com/ Is it still the "final week?"

Every week is the "final week"

Anyone know what happened with this?

In contract since 6/23. Contract-to-close at 165 WEA seems to run anywhere from two to four months, judging by the last several sales, so who knows?

I belive the Obamas bought it... because alpo told them it was a top tier prime manhattan building.
