Manhattan digs selling for less than purchase price



166 Duane Street


Some apartments in Manhattan's top neighborhoods are now selling for less than their purchase price. A unit in the Financial District's 80 John Street recently sold for $590,000, down from its January selling price of $720,000. In Tribeca, a condo at 166 Duane Street is on the market for $4.495 million, after being bought for $4.7 million in April.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the very first article in the media with this take. Everything else since this credit crunch started August 2007 has been glowing about the Manhattan market. Should we expect more articles like this?

This was a tax sale arrangement. That is why it was purchased in in April and put on the market 2 weeks later.
