Sale at 21 Bleecker #2W

Well for starters you're 10% above a peak comp from 07 and almost 40% above the 06 sale price of this same unit. Otherwise, really nice apartment.

Been reading any papers lately?

i wasn't asking about the price, just the apartment. Price negotiation comes after seeing it.

spinnaker: does this mean you saw it?

You asked for "thoughts". I think spinnaker1 gave you his/hers. Frankly your post is a little suspicious and your defensiveness on the price leads me to believe it is your apartment. Why would anyone with an interest in a property bring it to the attention of possible competition? It defies logic. Either you're a little slow or you're the owner.

OUTED...that was fast.

Amusing...no, I don't own it. I genuinely was curious. I realize bringing up something I would be interested in purchasing brings attention but figured that most of the bears in this forum would not give a crap.

Get over yourselves.

You mean genuinely curious as long as the opinions are what you want to hear. Ok, got it!!

youve done as you wished--stirred up attention to the apartment you are trying to sell--which has produced commentary that you are trying to sell at a truly laughable price--thats all

Here are my thoughts:

- You didnt list how big it is (with the 115% broker multiplier of course)
- You didnt list a floorplan so we could all figure out that it's really 700sf rather than 800sf
- You didnt list what floor it's on and that it's in a non-doorman walkup
- You listed it at a price perhaps around $1200psf when the market is headed toward around half that

So relist it at $500,000 and maybe a potential buyer will take it seriously

And for good measure, state very clearly in your listing that the apartment does NOT have popcorn ceilings and perhaps throw in some flattering prose about the refrigerator.

snark snark snark...

FYI: I just learned that they are not even showing right now due to "CoO" issues. So much for me being the cunning owner you guys think I am! :)

Folks, I'm bearish and generally suspicious of someone looking like they're pumping something (though I didn't get that impression here at all) but please, SEARCH DISCUSSIONS FOR OTHER POSTS by a person before hurling accusations. I can say w/ certainty that KHD is not selling this apartment, and has also been around here long enough to deserve some consideration.

khd - I still stand by my comments if you are a buyer. The pricing is unrealistic.

tenemental - How do you search discussions for other posts?

khd - if the place is not yours and you deserve the benefit of the doubt as tenemental suggests, then you should know better than to ask our opinion and then get your nose out of joint when its offered.

West 34: thanks...totally agree the pricing is unrealistic (just wanted to know if the place was ripe for a low ball!). But I have honestly not seen it and REALLY wanted to just get the scoop. If I let some cat out of the bag, then OK, more power to the person who wants/gets it. The CoO issue may already have broken any interest I had.

Ten: thanks for getting my back :)

Usually typing or pasting a poster's handle into Search Discussions brings up the threads they've contributed to. Strangely, khd's doesn't. If you google "site:http://www.streeteasy.com/nyc/talk khd" however, you over 400 hits.

I saw it a while ago. Thought it would be in great shape - far from it. Uneven floors, closets looked like they were about to fall apart, and layout has a lot of unusable square footage. After viewing the unit, another couple and I agreed that they wouldn't come close to the ask. Love the location however.

thanks saraj...sounds like it should have a fire sale.

My pleasure, khd. Didn't see your post before my last one.

are there rules for artists lofts?

Hi, I think it's very overpriced but it's tough to say without the floor plan.

after almost 6 month on the market, the price remains the same. this is not a seller but a person looking for that one idiot with lots of cash
