Manhattan Real Estate Still Bubbling

Real estate prices aren't going down everywhere. According to the Associated Press, median prices for Manhattan apartments have risen 9% in 2006, and the mean price is up 5% over the fourth quarter of '05. The median Manhattan apartment went for an astounding $760,000 in Q4 of '06, 4.27 times the median home price in Boise, and making me wish my real estate holdings were on the other coast.

On the Upper West Side, large apartments are up 48% over a year ago. Condos stayed flat, and Co-Ops went up 3%: impressive when most of the country is experiencing, if not a burst, at least a deflation.

There are no signs of slowing in '07.
