What does $5.4 Million buy you in Manhattan? New York’s CBS 2′s Emily Smith and her camera-crew set out to find out and visited this beautiful townhouse-in-the-sky in Greenwich Village – a European inspired duplex luxury coop with custom details and a wrap-around terrace. Tony Sargent and Emily Beare of CORE share this listing on Lower Fifth Avenue in Manhattan and together had the opportunity to show WCBS’s delightful Emily Smith this New York luxury Penthouse on downtown’s coveted Gold Coast.

New York Luxury real estate sales have been extremely strong in 2012.

As I traveled to the West Coast in August and October to speak on several real estate and mortgage broker panels, the energy in the rooms was decidedly up-beat compared to only two years ago. Like in Manhattan, real estate brokers nationwide were speaking about the shortage of housing inventory and the reduction in their Short Sale and Foreclosure business.

On the 42nd floor of a No-Mad condo a friend posted a hair-raising 10-sec video of his overhead lamps swinging wildly from right to left as though he was on a ship in a storm. “What are you still doing there?” a concerned friend asked. Where would he go, I thought? Other friends have had to leave Read more…
This wonderful documentary feature “The Eye Has to Travel” on revered Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue Editor, Diana Vreeland is a beautiful look back at one of New York’s and the fashion world’s trailblazers. I believe one of the reasons New York continues to attract the world’s best innovators, is that this city offers people the opportunity to implement their vision and be inspired by their proximity to the greatest minds of all – past, present and future. You can not help but be inspired in New York. Read more…
