When Tom Grauman and his wife, Caroline Grauman-Boss , who have lived in their one-bedroom apartment on Morningside Drive since 1991, heard that a neighbor was recently offered $440,000 for an apartment, they realized their home was worth about four times what they paid for it.
The couple, who have a 5-year-old daughter, would like another bedroom. But even if they made a hefty profit on a sale, they aren’t sure they could find a bigger place within their price range in Manhattan. “It seems like everybody is sitting on properties that are worth a lot more than when they bought them, but nobody can afford to move within the areas that they want to live,” Mr. Grauman said.
