Real Estate up 45% in 10 months

Well maybe only if your name was a-rod.

must have been a yankee fan

Picking one apartment and saying "real estate" is lousy analysis enough.
Forgetting the fact that folks pay extra for celebrity apartments is double lousy...

ummmm...joke

I'd say I hope so... but if it was, is it actually funny?

It's all about the timing. If A-Rod tried to sell in October he wouldn't have gotten half of that.

"the third-baseman’s high-profile purchase in the building last year increased interest in the building, positively impacting both the sales pace and the sales prices, brokers said. It is unclear why Rodriguez sought to flip the apartment so quickly"

So this is why RE got strong last Spring.. Hummmm

"Real Estate up 45% in 10 months " based on one observation?? funny

As dumb as showing one apartment selling for $500/sf somewhere in Manhattan, and extrapolating that all Manhattan real estate is going to $500/sf....

If by one you mean 735 listings in manhattan with ppsf of $500 to $600 currently and growing by the day.

Yes call me an 'extrapolator!'. That Lawrence Yun you borkers kowtow to.... It's more akin to following Hitler down a blind alley. But you keep goose stepping matsonjones. One two. One two.

Ja wohl, mein w67thstreet!
