List your votes for the most overpriced apartments in Manhattan given the new reality...
no please? no hello? no thank you? who are you? when did you start posting here? re: your other thread about 15 w 81st, I like that apartment you have such an objection to, and I would be quite happy to wager - you pick what - that it eventually sells for more than $2.5mn - I have not lost one of these bets yet by the way - currency is usually shack burgers but you seem disagreeable enough for me to consider greenbacks as well if you prefer.
Awww, lp, beastbron has been around, and it's not one of those demands for basic info because they're too lazy/stupid to do elementary research. As if we're sitting around waiting to be of service.
Anyway, I like the history of this one: http://www.streeteasy.com/nyc/sale/173736-coop-1021-park-avenue-upper-east-side-new-york and can't wait for closing to hit. Great line, low maintenance, but even the neighbors were aghast at how wildly deluded this seller was.
Anything in Harlem over $200K.
nwt - wowzuh.
I'm gonna watch that one, too.
A classic 11? Damn, I did not know they came that big. I thought it was just classic sixes, sevens, and eights. Just curious, what is the largest "classic" apt. out there? being that I have always lived in post-war buildings, I'm not that familiar with pre-wars.
It's a classic SEVEN. Yet another example of realtors either not understanding that maids' rooms and utility rooms aren't considered in the count, or they just outright lie (like that one listing featuring a sunken living room and "loft", billed as a TRIPLEX!).
NYCMatt: It's an eleven, or at minimum a ten. Maids' rooms do count. Please see the detailed explanation on your other thread about this listing. The room-counting conventions for "classics" are outdated, but the agent here appears to have applied the rules correctly.
The_P, the prevalence of "classic" drops as rooms go beyond, say, seven. At some point things are assumed, I guess. The broker here said "classic 11-room home", so classic may have been meant to modify home rather than number of rooms.
NWT, I see your point, and I agree. But as I just posted in the other thread, "classic" denotes something that is common and timeless. There's nothing common (or even timeless, for that matter) about an 11-room apartment.
Here's a good one: http://www.streeteasy.com/nyc/sale/416161-condo-3-east-95th-street-carnegie-hill-new-york. Sold for $13M in 2005, now asking $35M, after maybe a couple million spent in tarting up an already-new apartment.
Anyone agree that just about anything in The Plaza is a rip-off?
anything in the plaza is a complete rip off...
how about this one at 7500/sq ft
