chasing the market down: our favorite price choppers

That MBR configuration is a feng shue disaster and the 'internal' study doesn't help either.

"i have to confess i don't watch the show. i'm addicted to house hunters international but selling ny does nothing for me. what's the story?"

The big story was that something actually sold. Doesn't happen often on the show.

"i'm addicted to house hunters international"
Me too, AR

"The big story was that something actually sold. Doesn't happen often on the show."
Exactly, inonada. Brokers tout apts, but hardly anything sells cuz it's all so over priced

From a frothy 2007 ask of $4.9 to a 2011 close of $2.8, sellers must be pissed or grateful or a combo of both. Initial pricing was off by only 42%.

Well, it would have gone for close to $3.5M in 2007 had it been priced right I'd imagine.

In Samantha's defense, she did get it sold in a reasonable timeframe once she had the listing. They do seem to be the more successful ones on the show, which I imagine stems from an aversion to taking every single overpriced listing that crosses their path.

yeah, they missed the boat. Probly got stuck on the $4 & wouldn't go to $3

We saw 9D at 190 East 72nd a few months ago. Apartment needed work, but the layout and location were great, and we liked the building. We were very seriously considering putting in an offer, and probably would've offered around where it sold for. As I recall, the broker at the time told us the seller might have some room, but not a ton. So much for that theory (at 16-17% off last ask, this would also qualify for the successful lowballs thread).

For $1.5MM, it's actually not a bad deal for the amount of space you get for that location, even factoring in the very high maintenance.

The bigger problem is that the land-lease has a revaluation in 2035, which means the maintenance could go to who knows what. That's what scared us away from making an offer - we have and would consider a landlease, but a revaluation in 2035 is just too soon, too much risk of killing resale value.

this one's not messing around. 2/2.5 in the alden.

How did the first broker count seven rooms? I see four. There might be five, based on the extra window in the alternate floor plan. But seven???

Great layout on 225 CPW! It looks priced reasonably now considering the location. I would definitely consider the 3 bedroom conversion suggested if i was the buyer.

But wait--how did they magically come up with a new window in the 3-bedroom plan?

Yeah, West, I noticed that too. What on earth happened there?

We've discussed the 300's A line so many times here--it SHOULD be great but just isn't. Serious lack of closets, undesirable bedroom layout. Even if one were to reconstruct the wall partition between the two BRs, you still have that pesky problem of zero closet space in the MBR (the current 'closet' is nothing more than a shallow cupboard because the bathroom juts into the space) and there's not much usable wall space to do anything about it.

Views are incredible but other than that there's not much THERE there.

Still, though, I do wonder why 11A has had such a hard time. I was surprised to see 9A sell first--it, IMO, was less desirable, at least appearance-wise, though they had installed thru-wall AC which was a plus.

re 300: personal tragedy with buyers kept them from moving forward after they signed the contract

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope they will be ok.

rsm321: Thanks for the insight. I hope it works out for all concerned. Best to you and BB.

I am wondering how rsm321 is so knowledageable. I was told buyers backed out of deal for 11A. Is that a personal tragedy?

spyridonsophie, you have it backwards.

The personal tragedy led to the cancellation of the contract. The cancellation wasn't the tragedy.

Either the contract's terms allowed for the event (e.g., death of a party) or the sellers considered the circumstances and kindly cancelled it.

I think 150 East 61st Street #16B now qualifies (below). It may also qualify for the "neighbor competition" thread, with 11HJ. Very different floorplans, granted. But given how few buyers there are for landlease buildings as it is, having two family sized apartments on the market in the same building, and both price-chopping, can't be helping either one of them.

sophie, re 300rsd, figure the broker knows. I'd take a stab at it myself.

Bramstar, re 300RSD11A you say "there's not much there". I understand the issues (I think). So how much would an oblivious buyer put on this "not much there apt". I'm not being facetious. At what price-point might it attract attention? curious minds and all that. sheesh I'm getting .01 in my money market.
GG

GG--I was being a bit facetious myself when I said there's not much 'there' there re: 11a. The apartment's shortcomings (lack of sufficient closet space being the primary issue) could easily be overlooked for the amazing views.

It also depends on how large a family a buyer has--if two or more kids the size and layout could be a challenge, especially considering that there's no closet to speak of in the MBR. However, with some tweaking by a talented architect or designer the closet issue could likely be addressed.

The apartment should command a premium for its incredible views (over similar units without views). I think the current price is very close to the mark, especially considering the apartment is in very good shape, though it's possible potential buyers are turned off by the kitchen reno, which is highly individual and not to everyone's taste. A full kitchen redo would be expensive and would need to be factored into the price.

As for your question as to what price point would attract attention--I think this listing has unfortunately become stale after months on the market and multiple price chops. That said, I do think the price is now finally within the correct range.

don't know, w. they started marketing this building four years ago. could have been that someone offered to pick up most of the remaining units for a song and the bank said ok, get rid of them already. after their 2008 sales, which without looking at them in too much depth seem to be units that were in contract when the shit hit the but the buyers still went forward, sales results were pretty, pretty dismal.

Hey NWT still think contract at 300 RSD "KINDLY CANCELLED"? and now all of a sudden a new contract.
As I originally stated something funny going on here and not being disclosed by rsm321.

What's so "funny" about it? And why is anyone obligated to "disclose" anything on this discussion board?

Squid, exactly.

spyridonsophie, it's a straightforward situation.

The contract between the seller and the first buyer fell through. Either (A) the contract's terms allowed for a cancellation under the change in circumstances which befell the buyer, or (B) the seller cut the buyer some slack. If (B) then yes, the seller was kind. We don't know what those circumstances were, and rsm321 wisely isn't telling us.

Now, a month later, not "all of a sudden", the seller is in contract with another buyer. No big deal; it happens all the time.

The big problem for this place may have been those huge protrusions from the ceilings. It's on the floor below the building's setback, so plumbing risers, etc., transfer horizontally within the apartment.

West81st, don't let the facts get in the way of a good story.
apt23 was having a good time ridiculing the market and the seller. Who are you to inject reality?

Thanks W81. That certainly explains everything -- but I wonder why they don't take the listing down. Another reason Noah's model.

This has been on the market for almost two years and the price has been cut 40%. I have to admit that the layout isn't for everyone and that the attic space is odd, but with three bedrooms, you'd think someone would buy it. I think that the buyers' hesitation stems from a high downpayment, high maintenance, and likely renovations based on pictures (or lack thereof). This apt. seems to be the ugly duckling of the building. How much further will it drop? Anyone have any color on this apt?

IMO, one big prob w/ 270 West End Avenue #12E are the wood ceilings: WTH? it's weird looking. High maintenance doesn't help.

New pictures, emphasizing how much bigger the DR and kitchen are than the LR. The acoustics must be interesting, with the piano down at the foot of the stairs.

The floorplan still doesn't have the wall between LR and DR colored in.

omg: the more I look at this place, the sadder & funnier it is. It makes me sea sick. WTH & why did someone do this to what was probly a beautiful pre-war? IMO, it's a white elephant & needs a total gut.

One word: Ghastly.

Seriously, I get claustrophobic just looking at the pix.

Looks like this one got a price chop for the spring selling season with no takers. Wonder if another cut is coming soon.

This is a rare version of the 'untouchable class' of RE.
Wonder what this apartment did in it's last life to come back as this?
That would make a great thread...unsellable apartments.

falco - other apartments in that building have sold, even with very high maintenance. Seems as if it's the weird layout of this one (the "attic"?) that works against it.

Here's the problem. Who with a million in cash for the downpayment plus $65K a year to throw on maintenance would actually want to live there? The maintenance is about the same as the Gershwin apt below. Clearly, this apt got the short end of the stick when it came to share allocation. The maintenance is just shy of $3 a sq ft for ho-hum space. Throw in a little change per sq ft, you can just rent something similar at that price.

nada, I get claustrophobic just looking at that 362 B'way rental. Blech.

falco--agreed. The layout is schizo and that 'loft' thing in the MBR is atrocious. Funny how the listing tries to spin that as a good thing. Meanwhile, who wants to have to duck to get into bed? I also suspect the wannabe-haute decorating scheme isn't helping matters. The nutty collection of sapphire blue, pink, and rust walls are trying to be Architectural Digest but fail miserably. The apartment would likely show much better with a clean coat of a light neutral paint.

Inonada--I totally agree. If the maintenance were lower, then the apt. might have a better chance of selling, but no one who could meet those financial requirements would want an apartment like that. It's priced itself out of the market.

Bramstar/Falco-- I disagree on the layout--I think that it's workable, but you're correct that the decor is terrible and distracts from the apt. I’m going out on a limb here, but I actually think that the agent does the apartment a disservice by including the attic area. Buyers focus so much on the odd characteristics of the apt. that they don't see all the good things about the apt. That said, the maintenance is a dealbreaker for me.

Great thread, So I will add.

only down ~35% from original but throw in a diamond ring if you bot this.

Okay - language,(complete with "dope") fixation with multiple "comping" - yes, it's gotta be!! Brand new poster Brooks2 must be AR's new SE name.

bullshit

Hey, just in time for Fall!

ph41, it seems it takes "multiple comping" to make a point on this site.. and I take offense to be mistaken for AR!
It was so much more flattering when someone thought i was huntersberg.. and btw, Thank you HB for your kind word.

good call ph41. The overuse of the exclamation points was a hint that Brooks2 was trying way too hard and that the poster's style wasn't quite genuine, and of course the frequent posting by this new poster was another clue that Brooks2 wasn't "new", not to mention participation particularly on the comps thread. But the AR call is an interesting one and may turn out to be correct.
I'll be watching.

>It was so much more flattering when someone thought i was huntersberg

Didn't see that call - who made it, when?

you guys are wrong.. i just started posting a few weeks ago, but have been using SE for a year or 2. never before that.

>but have been using SE for a year or 2.

under what different posting name / account?

even the last comment with no capital letters. Definitely AR.

never posted.. did not have an acct.. I just got an acct recently to save searches. I don't pay anything for it.

dude-- think what ever you like.. not AR-- I am assuming you mean aboutready

Interesting how when I've called out AR's 2 (up to this point) new posting names, she's on the thread like white on rice!! Hmmmmmm.

>>>Didn't see that call - who made it, when?

i think it was JH

Ph41, are you a RE broker?

>Ph41, are you a RE broker?

Good tactic, reverse the attention back to the accuser.

>dude-- think what ever you like.. not AR-- I am assuming you mean aboutready

Ah, use of the word dude, to make it seem as if you are male.
Then pretending as if you aren't sure about initials applying to another poster.

>>>>Didn't see that call - who made it, when?
>i think it was JH

Or maybe you are good at which initials apply to another poster.

(and we know that Jim Hones didn't accuse you of being me)

>>>and we know that Jim Hones didn't accuse you of being me)

that's right because i heard you were him.

right right, good tactic, reverse the attention back to the accuser.

>>>Ah, use of the word dude, to make it seem as if you are male.

HB you are starting to get paranoid.. I thought you were smarter than that. Honestly, I really did..

>... Honestly, ...

ph41, great call. I knew you were on to something, but now ... confirmed.

wow you are paranoid. Soon you will think I am CC and I really don't want to be on the receiving end of vitriolic retorts.

so Brooks2, in the past 6 weeks or so, were you on vacation again or voluntarily or involuntarily committed?
