that courtyard is not a premium viewLong-time readers know how I feel about the Chelsea Mercantile building at 252 Seventh Avenue: the building that created the market for high-end residential lofts in this micro-nabe. (The 17 Manhattan Loft Guy posts…

Sunday diversion / back to baseball
but nothing perfectAnd not about the very imperfect game thrown yesterday by Freddy Garcia. (You’re welcome, RS Nation.) This is one of the well-done uses of baseball stats, with an obvious headline but interesting supporting data: Quit throwing strikes to…
interesting pricing gambit does not work as 214 West 17 Street loft sells at 14% discount, 22% from first ask
how does that “if at first you don’t succeed …” thing work?No diversion today, as I missed a weekday of substantive Manhattan loft blogging. (if you are disappointed, call 3-1-1.) One way to look at the recent sale of the…

“great bones” 100 Hudson Street loft sells above where it “should” have
the best comps are close in time, size and location, with few adjustmentsApparently The Market thinks that the difference between “1,100 sq ft” of “great bones” and “1,100 sq ft” of “meticulous renovation” and “superb craftsmanship” is $92,500 in Tribeca.…
Soho and Artist-In-Residence are back in the news, oddly
“hunting”? “harassing” really??I found this headline from DNAInfo Tuesday rather bizarre, Group Hunts Non-Artists Wrongly Living in SoHo and NoHo Lofts, and the article only slightly less so. It sounds as though some folks are targeting undocumented immigrants residents; in…
endless possibilities cost $1,160/ft in quiet Noho, at 325 Lafayette
are you following the disconnect here?Yesterday it was an artist’s loft of “3,300 sq ft” in the bottom of Soho that cleared for $742/ft (April 16, artist loft clears at $742/ft in south Soho, 307 West Broadway). Today it is…

artist loft clears at $742/ft in south Soho, 307 West Broadway
how much more to create that masterpiece?There is a great span of values for primitive lofts, isn’t there? Today’s specimen is the “3,300 sq ft” Manhattan loft on the 6th floor at 307 West Broadway, a roughly 36 x 90…

Sunday diversion / has to be baseball by now, right?
or, at least baseball relatedIf you think this guy on Grantland is a sanctimonious jerk, so what? Read it anyway. (I don’t think he was under the desk next to me in 1962; I remember doing this in the hallway.)…
beautiful Saturday diversion / beautiful city, time lapsed
these things never get old (for me, at least)This one, "both striking and soothing"(!), is worth 3:08 of your time. Who knew? The city that never sleeps, can soothe. It starts with the Flatiron and pauses in the Meatpacking, so…
why did 48 Great Jones Street 1-bedroom loft sell 18% above Peak value?
“masterful renovation” does not explainThe story line for the recent sale of the “2,564 sq ft” Manhattan loft #6R at 48 Great Jones Street seems pretty obvious from the broker babble and the price history. The loft has been “[m]asterfully…
