It’s a seller-friendly market, as you may have heard, especially if your condo or co-op is in decent shape and is realistically priced. If you're lucky, you may even nab multiple offers. But not all bids are created equal, and not all are likely to lead to a sale.  Some buyers put out "feelers" even if they don’t intend to follow through; others lowball to test the waters.

While it's nearly impossible to pick out a serious buyer just by looking at them, you may be able to separate the real ones from the sightseers by keeping your eyes peeled for these signs:

In case you haven't noticed, winter is finally over—good riddance!—and we're starting to enjoy the great outdoors again. Or, more accurately for NYC, the great outdoor space. We asked five New Yorkers: Would you prefer a small private balcony, or is a communal building roofdeck more your style?

Laundry in the apartment, in the building, or better yet: somewhere else entirely. In honor of Laundry Week, we've asked six New Yorkers how they'd improve their laundry situation in a perfect world.

Spring cleaning time is upon us, and all that sorting, rearranging and purging may be  leading you to daydream about the perfect closet.  We asked five New Yorkers: Would you rather have the endless possibilities of a blank canvas closet or a perfectly polished California Closet-style closet with built-in shelving?

We’ve FINALLY made it to March, and spring is less than two weeks away. And though temps are starting to climb, if you're like us, you're probably still trying to thaw out from this brutal winter. We asked six New Yorkers with the all-too-common winter blues: Would you rather have had a wood-burning fireplace, or be able to control the heat in your own apartment during this winter?
