PropertyShark.com founder Matthew Haines and his team of number-crunching mathletes took a look at sales data to figure out where in Manhattan sales have been slowest and deals might be most plentiful. The big surprise: the dullest neighborhoods (hello, Murray Hill!) were also the most stable, while apartments in areas with lots of new development flash (Chelsea/Flatiron/Union Square/Hudson Yards), financiers, or pied-a-terres have languished on the market and seen serious choppage. The take-away: go there to negotiate, buyers! Especially if you're getting a bonus and/or don't need a mortgage. [NYM]
