all Soho is not alike: 12 Wooster Street loft sells for $869/ft after renovation
go figure (please show your worksheet)Even a sub-market like Soho has outliers. Regular readers of Manhattan Loft Guy know why Soho and Tribeca are high-end price outliers in the overall Manhattan residential real estate market (e.g., February 2, Tribeca and…

1 Worth Street loft sells after renovation / how building values change

250 Mercer Street mini-loft sells up only a smidge over 2005
that’s $5,000 if you are scoring at homeIn “honor” of the (now begun!) snopocalypse, I had hoped to continue looking at memorably tragic sales this week. (That’s on top of my posts of February 6, 106 Duane Street loft sellers…
not gussied, 46 Great Jones Street loft sells after 363 days, down 42% from first ask
