Reality TV and New York City Condominiums

New York Mag reckons that New York City condominium sales/ rentals are influenced by the properties being featured on popular reality TV shows.

Would reality tv ever influence your decision to rent /buy in the city?

I don't purchase things based on what other people say or do. I purchase them because I love it or need it. So even if there is a reality TV show about a building in Manhattan, it won't stir in me the will to buy it, even if I did have the money to.

@hhusted me too that's why I can't help wondering at people who do get affected enough to let reality TV affect their accommodation choices ..truly bizarre or mad.

@Uraniumfish: I have news for you. People in general are brainwashed by what is on TV.

I can't afford to purchase real estate shown on reality TV. @uptowngirl Perhaps I'm dying a slow death with you, but I mostly view reality television as comedy.

@BroadwayBk So true, I watch reality TV purely for the entertainment factor and to take my mind off what's there out in the world. I wouldn't make any decisions based on reality TV! that's madness but it goes to show how people get affected by it!

@JenMac LOL, yes agreed not much of a neighborhood, garment showrooms and nothing else not even a grocery store but then it was close to work and he as a single guy didnt really care. Now he lives in Brooklyn with his partner and has a dog and everything.
