  1. NYC is a lot more expensive to live in than Seattle...what is the square footage associated with some of those prices?

  3. The average Manhattan price increase of 3.2 percent sounds very stable - considering the market trends in a few other areas of the Country where prices declined a bit, those figures should make anyone thinking of buying an apartment in Manhattan feel good about buying.

  4. Toby, In 4Q 2006 in Washington Heights the average price per sq ft for coops and condos was $454. In Harlem and East Harlem it was $678. Below 96th street it varies neighborhood to neighborhood but most neighborhoods are around $1000. per sq foot. New developments are getting even more.

    Carole, The market is pretty stable our local economy is very strong and buyers are out in the bitter cold buying.
