yikes they did it again / NY Times recent sales report suggests optimism?

 
This week’s set of 5 Manhattan sales in the Sunday Residential Sales Around the Region again reflects (a) a coincidence or (b) an editorial view to breed optimism about he market. As with the last time I commented on this, you could not tell from the five Manhattan choices that it was a buyer’s market.
 
Two of five listings went for the asking price; one went above, after multiple bids; one went for a $12,000 discount from a $4.5mm asking price, and the last took a ‘hefty’ $10,000 off a $298,000 asking price.
 
Bubble, what bubble?
 
Coincidence, or the Old Grey Lady is trying to keep our chins up?
