new listing + sales data OH NOES / (over) optimism stopped by Dreaded Data Discontinuity

can this data set be saved?
In my announcement that Manhattan Loft Guy (the guy, not the blog) has found a new home at Corcoran (June 4, ch ch ch changes … the Guy moves to Corcoran in Soho) I offered very optimistically that I did not think there would be much impact on the data reporting in MLG from the move from an OLR-based system to Corcoran’s TAXI:
 

If ti it takes me a while to use the new system competently I may miss this Sunday’s ‘as of’ numbers for new listings, closed sales and inventory. If TAXI defines a "loft" differently from OLR there will be real trouble with continuity, but I don’t expect that to be the case.

Gulp …. I need to ask some questions at The New Firm, but as of now it appears that

Corcoran’s

"loft" category is much smaller than

OLR’s

(as I got only 4 new listings and less than 600 lofts in inventory) and that I cannot (easily? at all??) count loft sales for the last 7 days. If true, there will be

no

continuity (comparability) in my sets of weekly Manhattan loft new listings, closed sales and inventory

BCE

and CE (that is Before Corcoran Era and Corcoran Era, of course). The drawing board may await.

Arrrggghhhh

.

Stay tuned ….
