   Condobuyer, err….LINK did include the Bryant Sales. Three to be exact.

   Three shouldn’t skew that much. More than 10 had closed by that date though, is LINK slow to catch up?? If all 10/11 are included then it can completely skew it…

   With closings coming up in December for the W and the Clarendon year end sales numbers will look good.

   BB,

   What’s with the Clarendon? have they had any sales?

   I didn’t know that the Clarendon starts closing in Dec?? Is that really the case?

   Overall, I think both W and Clarendon will close about 10-15 in the first 6 weeks. If they close more than 20, it will be a good start relative to other developments. However, it’s what happens after the initial wave of closings that will be watched carefully. 45P closed 12 or 13 in the first month or so and then dropped off completely over time.

   Mary, the numbers I’m hearing is about 100 for the Clarendon and 25 for the W. I can’t confirm those numbers, it’s only what I heard on the street.

    Condobuyer, one of my agents has a property under agreement at the Clarendon; in her last conversation with the marketing/sales office, it was stated they’re going to commmence closing in December 2009.

    OK a “100″ for the Clarendon??? Seriously, whoever said that on the street was probably referring to the total number of Clarendon condos available! I believe there are 104 of them. OR…the breaking news across the country will be that the Clarendon is sold out!

    lol @ 100 being sold. Yes, Real Estate keeps going up and up and up. Run out and buy one of those four remaining units while you still can!

    Condobuyer, Megan & Mary, it’s my understanding 107 units, and I “heard” approx 30% have sold. I have no further info on the W besides what I reported before that under agreements are above 45P units sold and closings for the W will commence in December.

    30% of 107 would be about 32…much different from the earlier “100″ heard on the street by someone.

    Condobuyer, agreed BB was way off. However, if the 32 number is correct and lets say the W has rounding it off 20 (I trust Kevin Ahearn when he says he has more under agreement than 45P sold). Total of 52 luxury condos closing in December. Not bad, wouldn’t you agree?

    John,

    If over 50 close in December, yes that would make it a really good month. It will look great for your yoy comparison this year, but will probably make 2010 December look weak!

    Whether or not that “30+” figure holds is going to be interesting. Also, longer term success depends on the ability to continuously sell a few units a month.
