manhattan: 2014 Manhattan Townhouse Market Report - 03/12/15 01:41 AM
2014 Manhattan Townhouse Market Report
The Manhattan townhouse market had a phenomenal year as all three price indicators rose by double digits. This was particularly true for price per square foot, in which every neighborhood and property type posted strong increases.
The number of single-family townhouse sales decreased 10% while multi-family townhouse sales increased 6%, leading to a 2% decrease overall. The only region that did not have an increase in sales versus 2013 was Downtown.
Throughout Manhattan, the top end of the market thrived as the number of sales over $10M increased 26% versus 2013 to a new record high.

manhattan: Manhattan Market Report | Third Quarter 2014 - 01/15/15 11:54 PM
Manhattan Residential Real Estate Market Report | Third Quarter 2014

This report uses market-wide data based on transactions that closed in the Fourth Quarter 2014 (October 1 through December 31st) and compares it to closings that took place last quarter and during the same quarter last year. Closings typically occur eight to twelve weeks after a contract is signed in the resale market but can occur several years later for new developments. For that reason, the sales activity discussed trails actual market conditions. 
 
Key findings of the current report:
 
·         Inventory challenges.  Inventory has grown by 20% since last year, but almost entirely on … (2 comments)

manhattan: Q&A - What Are Air Rights? - 03/28/13 02:40 AM
Manhattan Real Estate Q&A
Q: What are Air Rights?
A: Air Rights are unused Development Rights.   
Development rights generally refer to the maximum amount of floor area permissible on a zoning lot. When the actual built floor area is less than the maximum per­mitted floor area, the difference is referred to as “unused development rights.” Unused development rights are often described as air rights.

In townhouses or certain other buildings, air rights may be a factor in the sale. The building seller should get an independent survey to determine the correct air rights. Unless special permission is needed from … (7 comments)

Menorah at Broadway Mall
86th & Broadway
Upper West Side, Manhattan
 
The first night of Hanukkah begins tonight Saturday December 8.
During the eight nights and days of Hanukkah, we commemorate the ancient re-dedication of the menorah, lit once again in the Holy Temple of Jerusalem. The word Hanukkah (חֲנֻכָּה) translates as dedication or inauguration.
We mark this great miracle with the introduction of light – both physical and spiritual – into the darkest time of the year, watching as that light grows brighter and brighter each and every night.
