Other than NYT and StreetEasy, where should one look...

In Manhattan, that really covers almost everything I think.

What is with the nastiness, mal-boy? 'Tis the season. You and the rest of the meatheads on this board, give it a rest. Please. As a gift to me.

The Nordberg Corporation would like to purchase 600 of these reports, as we plan to hand them out to our employees instead of giving them bonuses this year.

malraux, aren't you the one who bought into 15 CPW at the height of the bubble? and isn't "weaselboy" the one who has been warning that the real estate market is in severe trouble? aren't you the one heavily exposed to new york real estate as rents and sale prices decline? sounds to me like doing the opposite of what you do would be a much better strategy.

evnyc:

Why the nastiness? Because weaselboy was nasty to me on another current thread relating to 15 CPW. So admonish him on that thread, why don't you - hmmmmmmmm?

happyrenter:

15 CPW was bought strictly as a (very!) long term time horizon investment, and is currently rented out whereby some other genius pays all my carrying costs, plus sticks a little bit extra in my pocket every month. If you have any passing familiarity with my posts on these boards over the past few years, you'll know very well that I'm the last person 'exposed to NYC real estate' in a negative way. Actually, I'm starting to look again to buy one or two properties (but not ready to pull the trigger quite yet).

"15 CPW was bought strictly as a (very!) long term time horizon investment, and is currently rented out whereby some other genius pays all my carrying costs, plus sticks a little bit extra in my pocket every month."

Positive cash flow losses are still losses...

Bad-boy mal, perpetuating it only makes it worse. You can be bigger than that. Weasel should knock it off too. I've just noticed a big upswing of nastiness on this board lately, and I want everyone to let it go. Pretty please.

At the amount I purchased at, so sorry to say, but -

"no loss is still no loss..."

Thanks for all of the great advice.

NOT.

mdasch - yeah, it can be a zoo in here...

As for your question, Trulia and Curbed are other good resources.

mdasch: I looked at craigs list recently, but wasn't impressed. IMO, if you're looking for manhattan coops, think NYT is the best for FSBO.

Oh, and Property Shark is good for researching buildings.

trulia.com
propertyshark.com

zillow.com is also a good site

i will be listing a co-op (UES) on some of those sites this week.
if anyone has any others please let me know.

where are you looking for a co-op and what size?
here is mine:

I'm looking for a 1br. Midtown east or west. 400+ square feet. View of something other than a wall.

430kish budget.

there are no more fsbo's listed at the new york times

"there are no more fsbo's listed at the new york times"

can you elaborate on this statement? are you saying that they would not take my listing if i called today to make one? is that in reference to NYT online? what about the sunday paper? if i went to NYT online right now - are you saying that EVERY listing is by a broker?

I don't know about the news stand edition, but there's doesn't seem to be 1 fsbo anywhere in manhattan
or brooklyn listed online. I don't know what they'd tell you if you called and tried to place an online
fsbo ad. Why don't you let us know

"there are no more fsbo's listed at the new york times"

Not true. My listing is on there but the Times people have major problems with their search engine so that broker ads and FSBOs are not always showing correctly. This is part of the Times "upgrade"

Here is my website:

And here is my Times ad:

http://realestate.nytimes.com/sales/detail/253-NS81208109/407-Park-Avenue-South-New-York-NY-10016

Those guys still have problems in navigating to pages returned from the search.

407PAS, I saw a NYTimes person at a conference today and she said they're aware of the problems and they're working on them.

Thanks ali. Like I posted on the other thread, it is nice to see the Times messing up the searches for the remaining fifty buyers who are in the market. ;-) Who wants to search every single broker website for a listing?
