One day on, one day off…1080 Chestnut #14A, a 3 bed, 3.5 bath, 2600 square foot co-op sells in contract in a heart beat, somewhere around $4,500,000 (something says off-market deal, which is totally okay by us.) — Sale is pending board approval. -1080 Chestnut #14A [MLS]

So you heard me complain, and cry, and moan that my clients missed out on unit 33D at the St. Regis. Well, now it’s back on the market, still $3,695,000, still spectacular, and still available.

We did try to tell you, and a couple of people responded, with whom we might be writing an offer on this unit at the St. Regis , but for those that missed it, you’re day has come too. Unit 33D at the St. Regis hits the block for $3,725,000 and it is sweet! Glad [...]

Today Zillow is reporting the $100M sale of Trump’s Palm Beach Mansion, thanks to the excellent write up in the Palm Beach Post.
