Sale at 15 West 72nd Street #28G

Citi-Habitats
Corcoran
Halstead Property

another broker convinced the seller that she/he could sell that apt at above market pricing?
that's my guess

If they couldn't swing a deal back in May, what makes them think they have a chance now? Higher price or not, this is yet another candidate for a winter stale listing. If only it would sell, that would give the market some hope, but that's a long shot.

Look at the timing compared with 34G upstairs:

01/26/2010 Listed by Halstead Property at $2,499,000.
09/17/2010 Price decreased by 16% to $2,100,000.
09/17/2010 Listing entered contract.
12/10/2010 Sale recorded for $2,100,000.

The 34G buyer must've seen both 28G and 34G, but went for the six-floors-higher and no-wallpaper version for only $100K more.

Since then 28G has lost its wallpaper and other odd decorations, so now the sellers figure they can get a bit more than 34G did. None of the brokers just rolled off the turnip truck, so I blame the sellers for confusing what they want to get with what the market is.

really?

Really. Each of the three brokers is at fault only for being unable to persuade the sellers to go with realistic asking prices. Maybe their thinking was, "I'll eventually get them to get real, and in the meantime maybe we'll get lucky."

34g sold a year ago, and was listed for abt 10 months 28g was listed for 1.775 well after 34g closed,.. A s a prospective buyer these listings do nothing but irritate me. I think the problem here is a broker that believe she is smarter than everyone else in the re business. From what I understand, the current broker Susan Ruttner lives in the building and believes she should get every listing. She probably told the owners that the reason they didnt sell their apt was because it wasnt her listing, I find it amaazing that Corcoran couldnt sell it for 1.75 but Halstead thinks they can sell it for 2.15. Unless there is 400k stuffed in a toilet bowl in that apartment, Susan Ruttner and or the owners are delusional that the apt will fetch for 2.15, given where it was listed a few short months ago.
