Overall Thoughts for 2011 Sales at Georgetown Plaza at 60 East 8th Street:
Georgetown Plaza is one of the only cond-op buildings in the Greenwich Village/ Union Square neighborhood. Because it is investor friendly and has flexible purchase policies, it has become one of the more desirable buildings. Apartments when priced within the most recent comparable sales, typically sell quickly and at strong prices.
The roof top deck and views are always a major attribute to the building. Renovated apartments are selling the quickest and at the highest prices, as most buyers do not want to go through a lengthy renovation process. Because of the close vicinity to NYU (New York Univeristy), there is always a consistent demand for rentals, making apartments in the building equally attractive for an investor looking to rent out the apartment. A very low supply of apartments is expected and we continue to see most apartments go into contract quickly when coming available.
Most apartments sold close to their asking prices, something that we expect to see in 2012. Georgetown Plaza is one of the most well established buildings in the Greenwich Village neighborhood and we continue to see strong demand in the foreseeable future.
We hope you have found our market report valuable and informative. In this consumer savvy and an immediate need for information days and age, it is most beneficial to work with a real estate agent who knows the market and understands the subtle differences that can make a big difference.

Café Gitane - French & Moroccan Cafe in Nolita Manhattan New York
New York city today was almost 60 degrees, so few friends and I decided to meet up for a quick lunch in NoLiTa, one of the trendiest neighborhood in New York city.
We wanted to have a fun lunch so we decided to visit Cafe Gitane, a French and Moroccan cafe that is known for their baked eggs, couscous,
mint tea and avacado toasts.
We had a great time dining there along with all the fashionistas in this popular downtown neighborhood. Some stars such Leonardo DiCaprio, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jude Law and few more have also seen having a tea time at Cafe Gitane.
Next time you are in town, be sure to go to Cafe Gitane and get a table outside so you can people watch while sitting your mint ice tea or caffe'.

The Two Bedroom 2 Bathroom apartment had a wide range of sales at Georgetown Plaza, 60 East 8th Street in 2011. This was a result of a range of apartments coming on the market. Georgetown Plaza has a couple of different two bedroom layouts, some larger than others, some with outdoor space, and different exposures. These differences along with the condition of the renovation of the apartment played a large role in the pricing of each individual apartment. The apartments that have been recently renovated and on the higher floors in the building sold for the highest prices in 2011. We would expect this to be a common theme in 2012.
