Price Cuts: Owner Chops Price By $1,000
A: Lets go back into the world of price cuts and see how some Manhattan real estate prices have fared in the past week or so. Here are some of the notable ones including one apartment being sold by the owner whose price was reduced by $1,000! A great example why owners shouldn't handle their own sale unless they know what they are doing; I mean what is a price cut of $1,000 suppose to accomplish?
