National market report

September 9th, 2010    Posted in Brooklyn New York, Hamptons New York, LIC Real Estate, Manhattan Real Estate, New York Real Estate, commercial real estate
 
From the September issue: Idaho's capital city has seen median home prices plummet 34 percent from peak 2007 levels, according to the most recent data available, released by the National Association of Realtors last month. The median home price dipped to $140,100 in the second quarter, down from a high of $212,800. This, in turn, has led to a precipitous decline in construction and real estate job losses in Boise, which is home to a third of Idaho's residents, according to Bloomberg News. Unfortunately, there's bad news across the rest of the state as well: Foreclosure-related home seizures jumped 822 percent in the second quarter of the year, according to research firm RealtyTrac.

Retail broker Stephanie Snyder dies at 38

September 9th, 2010    Posted in Brooklyn New York, Hamptons New York, LIC Real Estate, Manhattan Real Estate, New York Real Estate, commercial real estate
 
Stephanie Snyder, a tenacious broker who helped create the retail leasing arm of Crown Acquisitions but was equally known for a stylishness honed in the fashion magazine world, died Sept. 3 at age 38. On Aug. 31, Snyder had a heart attack while riding in a taxi to her Upper East Side apartment, according to her sister, Jennifer Snyder, 36. She slipped into a coma, Jennifer added, and died five days later. The cause of the heart attack is still under investigation, said Ellen Borokove, a spokesperson for the city’s chief medical examiner’s office. But Snyder had no obvious health problems and was an avid runner and swimmer, ate well and practiced yoga, Jennifer said. “She was just a very generous, upbeat, full-of-life girl,” Jennifer said. “We are all just still in shock.” [more]

September 8th, 2010    Posted in Brooklyn New York, Hamptons New York, LIC Real Estate, Manhattan Real Estate, New York Real Estate, commercial real estate
 
Forest City Enterprises, the parent company of Forest City Ratner, swung to a profit in the fiscal second quarter as rental income rose and the company closed on the sale of the New Jersey Nets to a Russian billionaire. The Cleveland-based firm reported net income of $122.8 million, or 61 cents a share, in the quarter ended July 31, compared with a net loss of $1.8 million, or 1 cent, in the year-ago period.

CurbedWire: Crane Collapse Neighbor For Sale; Jonathan Miller Wants to Talk

September 8th, 2010    Posted in Manhattan Real Estate, Manhattan Real Estate News
 

2010_9_303e50.jpgTURTLE BAY—Some properties damaged by the March 2008 crane collapse at 303 East 51st Street that killed seven people have bounced back. Others haven't. Like 301 East 50th Street, a six-story, 20-unit building badly damaged in the collapse. A tipster passing by the building noticed a sales banner advertising it as a development site. According to the listing, as of right usage could yield a new 10-story building. [CurbedWire Inbox/Issembert Companies]

THE MILLERVERSE—Between blogging, podcasting, graphing and market reporting, Jonathan Miller probably doesn't have much time for sleeping. And now he'll have even less, because he's trying out a new hobby: Teaching! That's right, the real estate market knowledge that he dispenses to us for free will now be available in info-packed seminars that Miller has sadly decided to call MillerQA instead of JMillz University. The next one, breaking down the third-quarter market data, will be October 7. [MillerQA]

Comment of the Day: “If you tear down that building…

September 8th, 2010    Posted in Manhattan Real Estate, Manhattan Real Estate News
 

"If you tear down that building they wont even let you replace it with anything taller than 12 stories. The community board will want a school and 30% affordable housing & the residence in the area will want to protect their 'views'. Even if you threw in public space, the CB would say that it's not accessible enough. Then the apartment owners will hire lawyers to make some BS about increased traffic and the need for an environmental impact study. Then finally, the renderings will be crapped on by Curbed readers who all think they have degrees in architecture."—anon [Building's $100 Million Renovation May Result in Wrecking Ball]

Subway Makeovers: A $7 million maintenance project has…

2010_9_teal.jpgA $7 million maintenance project has turned parts of the elevated 1 train platform at 125th Street in Manhattanville a teal green. For analysis, we turn to Harlem Bespoke: "It's still a little dark for our taste (a lighter verdigris green is always a safe bet) but at least it's a color." And at least it's not blue, right? Right?! That's just a little Columbia-taking-over-the-neighborhood humor for you on this Hump Day, folks. [Harlem Bespoke]
