Posted by Jonathan Miller - Friday, October 4, 2013, 10:20 AM

It’s time to share my Three Cents Worth (3CW) on Curbed NY, at the intersection of neighborhood and real estate in the capital of the world…and I’m here to take measurements.

Check out my 3CW column on @CurbedNY:

Over the past five years (and for the 13+ years I’ve collected Manhattan listing inventory), supply bottoms in August and begins a short ascent in the fall. I took a look at the two-week period before and after the Labor Day bottom over the past five years…

It’s time to share my Three Cents Worth on Curbed NY, at the intersection of neighborhood and real estate in the capitol of the world. And I’m simply here to take measurements.

Read today’s 3CW post on Curbed New York:

With all the hoopla about record low mortgage rates, the resurgence of entry-level buyers despite the headline-creating high end market, entering the “gray” area of rent versus buy, I thought I’d take a look at how falling mortgage rates impact the size of apartments being sold. The logic being that smaller apartments thrive as rates fall. I recognize that there is a lot more nuance in the size of what sells at any given time, but hey, this is Curbed…

In San Fran, plans are in the works to replace an aging commercial building with the hip Hotel SoMa. That's all well and good but some commenters are concerned about the glass-bottomed swimming pool, set some seven stories up overlooking the street, in the earthquake-prone Bay Area. One had a vision of "an old 1970s disaster movie with an earthquake and a pin-up swimmer: close-up to her horrified eyes looking at the crack in the glass becoming longer and longer. Focus on the ground 50 feet lowers. Zing! Splash!" [SocketSite]

[Observer] Scraping the Bottom of The Power 100

Last night the Observer’s Power 100 got to rub elbows (aka back slap) with each other on a job well done. After all, I have it on good authority that the selections for the Power 100 were based on a highly scientific analytical process. Something akin placing your finger in a light socket.

I’ve made the list 3 out of the past 4 years since its inception – but this year I fell to 99th place and lamented tongue-in-cheek about it on Curbed a few weeks ago.

Barbara Wagner of Rubenstein made sure this epic photo got taken – the bottom of the barrel that is the Observer Power 100. Lock is the blogfather of modern real estate and Steve is an in-the-trenches real estate reporter who has no claims to the LOL NYPost headlines of the past few weeks.
