The spring market is here and going strong! Below are eight new listings we have listed this week. For more information contact us.
Then why do so many sellers get it wrong?
I’m talking about preparing a home for sale, of course. And here is a definitive how-to guide to getting your property ready to fetch top dollar.
Buyers are attracted to clean, renovated, furnished apartments — who knew?! And that’s it. Not that hard. Just three little things.
Cleaning: This includes not only scrubbing from top to bottom but also a thorough decluttering. Arrange to have the windows washed, inside and out, to really let your place shine. Yes, you’ll have to make your bed and pick up your dirty clothes off the floor for the duration the home is on the market. You’ll also have to keep the place dust-free and vacuumed with no overpowering odors. Purchasing a home is said to be 80 percent emotional and 20 percent logical. As the seller, the more you draw on the emotions of your buyer by letting them envision your home as their home, the higher price they’ll pay. So, get the property cleaned. Easy to do. It’s cheap and the payday potential is huge!
Renovating: This step can be time-consuming and wallet-draining, and often it can be challenging to recoup those dollars. The key is investing just enough money to make your home appealing without spending unnecessarily. Start with a paint job. This can be done relatively inexpensively and will give your home a surprisingly fresh new look. Pick colors with universal appeal — eggshell white is one of my favorites. Next, go through the home and pick smaller items to replace that will give the property an updated look and feel. Make sure all light fixtures are new and working properly. Kitchen cabinets and drawer handles are easy to replace and can take a kitchen from dated to contemporary in no time. An appliance update is a good idea, but don’t feel obligated to purchase top-of-the-line brands, such as Sub-Zero or Miele. There are plenty of other brands that are half the price and just as nice. In the bathroom, a new vanity or medicine cabinet, or even a new toilet seat, can give the space a fresh new look.
Furnishings: This aspect is often overlooked, but that beat-up old couch of yours might be comfy, but it’s not helping your sale at all. Buying inexpensive, modern furniture is the finishing touch to your property’s final preparation and look. There are also many furniture rental companies that will bring in contemporary, chic furniture just for the duration the home is on the market.
All of this is common sense, but might seem overwhelming. Bottomline: Take the advice of your real estate sales agent. He or she is there to help you sell at the highest and best sale price.
Spring is the season for cleaning out our closets, but organization doesn’t have to be clunky, or hidden, for that matter. Make your storage do double duty with these stylish recommendations from Vogue.

Hello, #Seattle! Compass has officially opened our doors in The Emerald City, and with experienced agents and dynamic properties, we're fueled up and ready to get to work. #compasseverywhere
Compass, a company that aims to use technology to simplify home buying and selling, is opening offices in the Seattle area.
Compass has 14 employees working out of a temporary office in Seattle, and the company is teaming up with Seattle-based brokerage Northwest Group Real Estate to offer its products to brokers. Some of its tools include real-time listing analysis capabilities and portfolio sharing solutions.
Compass competes in a crowded field of companies looking to simplify the home buying and selling processes, including Seattle heavyweights Zillow and Redfin. Compass says it has amassed a valuation in excess of $2.2 billion after raising a $550 million round late last year led by Softbank’s Vision Fund and Fidelity.

Compass is helmed by Founder and CEO Robert Reffkin, a former COO at Goldman Sachs. The other founder Ori Allon, spent time at Twitter and Google after selling startups to the tech giants.
New York-based Compass is in the midst of a national expansion with 60 offices in 14 cities. The company said it plans to enter at least five more U.S. markets this year and open 50 new offices in existing markets.
Compass plans to open permanent offices in Seattle and Bellevue totaling 30,000 square feet. It is hiring in the area, but not for tech workers. The company is seeking mostly marketers, designers and administrators to support agents.

Nearly 17 years after it was severely damaged in the terror attacks on September 11, 2001, and then temporarily shuttered, the Cortlandt Street station is set to open this October. Running on the 1-line, the new station, expected to serve thousands of workers and tourists visiting the site, will boast Ann Hamilton’s artwork, featuring words from the United Nation’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Declaration of Independence (h/t Daily News). Cortlandt Street station was meant to open in 2014, but funding disputes between the Port Authority and the MTA delayed its completion until this year.
Located directly under the World Trade Center site, the station was crushed by the collapse of Two World Trade Center. In order to restore service to Rector Street and South Ferry stations, workers demolished the rest of Cortlandt and built walls where the platforms stood. The line was able to reopen a year after 9/11, with trains bypassing the station.
In 2008, the Port Authority and the MTA reached an agreement about the station’s reconstructing, which said the MTA would pay the Port Authority to rebuild Cortlandt under the WTC Hub contract. Seven years later, the MTA took over the project and faced more delays, stemming from design changes and slow contractors. Since May 2015, workers have installed finishing touches, including new tiles and lighting.
The $182 million WTC station will bring more convenience to commuters and less time spent walking outside between stations. Jessica Lappin, the president of Downtown Alliance, told the Daily News, that the number of private-sector jobs in Lower Manhattan has returned to pre-9/11 days at 242,000 jobs.
“This is the right moment, where people want the connectivity and they want to be able to take the 1 train south of Chambers,” Lappin told the Daily News.

They’ll be blue instead of red, but just like London, NYC will soon have double-decker buses cruising down its streets. As part of New York City Transit head Andy Byford’s larger bus-improvement plan, the MTA will start testing its first two-story bus on Staten Island today, and if all goes well, they’ll roll out on express routes in Manhattan soon. And to go along with the new design is a mobile app that provides seat availability information on express buses.
In a press release, Byford said, “We’ve listened to our riders’ concerns and are working tirelessly to create a world-class bus system that New Yorkers deserve. We’re targeting challenges like traffic congestion and enforcement, undertaking bold initiatives like redesigning the entire route network, and pursuing advancements such as the latest computer-aided management, double-decker and electric buses, all-door boarding, and improved customer service with more real-time data. Our customers will start to see changes this year and we will never stop improving this critical component of New York City’s transportation landscape.”
At the beginning of the year, the city’s first fleet of electric buses hit the road. The three-year pilot is testing 10 zero-emission vehicles, and assuming it’s successful, they’ll purchase another 60. And last month, the MTA released its new bus performance dashboard, a method of compiling and viewing data such as average bus speeds, wait times, on-time trips, etc.
Today’s comprehensive plan adds to this list of upgrades with:
The double-decker buses are currently being tested on an express route linking Staten Island to Manhattan.
When Byford took office in January, he made improved bus service one of this top priorities. As 6sqft previously reported, New York City’s bus system runs at the slowest pace in the nation, traveling at just 7.4 miles per hour, which has caused it to lose 100 million passengers since 2008.

Eli Manning’s patience trying to offload his Hoboken condo certainly paid off, as the Postreports that it’s sold for $3.55 million–the biggest condo sale in the city’s history. The Giants quarterback first listed the waterfront spread at the Hudson Tea Building three years ago for $5.2 million, but after failing to find any takers, he put it up as an $18,000/month rental the following spring. Manning currently lives with his wife, Abby McGrew, and their three daughters in the more suburban Summit, NJ. He also dropped $8.5 million on a beachfront Hamptons mansion last year.
Manning lived in the Hoboken condo from 2008 to 2016, when the family decided they needed more space. But at 3,550 square feet, a combination of three units, the apartment is definitely not tiny. And with a southeast corner location, it benefits from gorgeous views of the Hudson River and NYC skyline.
Though the home is quite modern, it has more rustic details like exposed brick walls and wooden, beamed ceilings. The Hudson Tea Building was built in 1913 as the home of the Lipton Tea company.
The kitchen has cabinet space that stretches to the ceiling, as well as a breakfast nook.
The home has three bedrooms total, two of which are located in the “guest wing,” along with a playroom/office, two full bathrooms, and a laundry area.
The master suite also has an adjacent study and a walk-in closet/dressing room.
Former Tea Building residents have include ex-Giants star Jeremy Shockey, boxer Arturo Gatti, and ex-NJ governor and ex-senator Jon Corzine. The record-setting sale steals the top spot from a $3.3 million sale in 2015.

“Modern Family” star Jesse Tyler Ferguson is unloading his one-bedroom co-op in Gramercy Park for $1.5 million, just over three years after buying it. The actor and his husband, Justin Mikita, picked up the pad, which has been gut-renovated, in 2015 for just over $1.23 million.

As the first outdoor terrace on the World Trade Center campus, 3 WTC tenants will enjoy unbeatable views of 1 WTC and the WTC Transportation Hub. Another perk?

Slated to open this June, 3 WTC, designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, rises 80 stories, measuring 1,079 feet tall.

There are plenty of celebrities in New York City but very few stars (of the celestial kind). Because of all the light produced from the buildings, it is close to impossible to see any stars in the sky unless there is a citywide blackout. With this in mind, photographers and filmmakers Harun Mehmedinovic and Gavin Heffernan, of the gorgeous Skyglow Project, created time lapses from the night skies at the Grand Canyon and Death Valley National Park and superimposed those images on the NYC sky. Their new video is part of the International Dark Sky Week (April 15-21) which is a campaign to get communities to turn off their lights.
When asked what they learned from making these projects, Mehmedinovic commented, “From Skyglow, it was primarily the depth of the impact of light pollution. Going in, I knew that light obscured the night sky, what I didn’t know was that it killed 90% of the firefly habitat, led to massive losses in the number of sea turtles, impact on salmon and migratory birds, human health, etc. There is a lot more to it than just the night sky.”
From the time lapse project, Mehmedinovic and Heffernan agreed their major takeaway was “the fact that you can see the light from cities hundreds of miles away even when in a relatively good dark sky area. Shooting towards the horizon gives you an idea of how impact light has even at long distance. Also, we were pleasantly surprised how many people care about this issue. It transcends the political and religious spectrum.”
The Dark Sky Association, created in 2003 by high-school student Jennifer Barlow, is part of Global Astronomy Month. At the time, Barlow explained, “I want people to be able to see the wonder of the night sky without the effects of light pollution. The universe is our view into our past and our vision into the future. … I want to help preserve its wonder.”
According to the Dark Sky Week website, “We are only just beginning to understand the negative repercussions of losing this natural resource. A growing body of research suggests that the loss of the natural nighttime environment is causing serious harm to human health and the environment. For nocturnal animals in particular, the introduction of artificial light at night could very well be the most devastating change humans have made to their environment. Light pollution also has deleterious effects on other organisms such as migrating birds, sea turtle hatchlings, and insects.”
They go on to explain that we are not immune from the negative effects of light pollution, “Excessive exposure to artificial light at night, particularly blue light, has been linked to increased risks for obesity, depression, sleep disorders, diabetes and breast cancer.”
This is clearly a very important topic, to which Mehmedinovic and Heffernan say, “Keep an eye out for many more SKYGLOWPROJECT.COM videos and eventually a feature film doc on this subject, provided we keep getting support through our crowdfunding and other means. For us, this is a non- profit project.” Seems like a good topic to shine some light one (inside of the sky).
