We've been told that foreign buyers are propping up the Manhattan condo market by taking advantage of our piddling little currency, but is that story more fake than the moon landing? A Curbed reader watched this CNN report on the trend and smells a conspiracy: "Interesting report about Euros buying Manhattan, but how it is possible for them to be looking at a 2-bedroom condo for 'about $800,000.' Huh? The view out the window suggests Murray Hill or East Midtown (I can see the Chrysler Building nearby). Check StreetEasy and you'll see there are only 4 listings out of 201 that are at or below $800,000. Can anyone identify the building? There is something wrong with this CNN report." The plot thickens! [CurbedWire Inbox]
