Reminder: This Is What Happens To New York When Wall Street Bonuses Are Bad

A Manhattan-based realtor named Lisa Lippman told Crain's New York that she's already seeing the impact: Since listing a three-bedroom co-op in a classic prewar building on West End Avenue for $2.35 million last month, Lisa Lippman has received a half-dozen bids... Not one of the bidders works on Wall Street. The same holds true in the other three multimillion-dollar sales Ms. Lippman is working on.

Back before the recession, in 2006 and 2007, finance professionals on average represented 35% of the buyers of new luxury condo developments in Manhattan sold by Corcoran Sunshine. Last year, that share tumbled to 24%, just ahead of the second largest group, the overseas buyers who accounted for 21% of the firm's deals, followed by the 19% who worked in entertainment, media and technology.
