1. Donald Trump’s penthouse is driving up the average, in part, because like his net worth, he inflates the value of this suite by $6 billion dollars because it features chattels like artwork and Donald Trump.
2. There’s no discrepancy: averages make better clickable headlines, even if they don’t mean very much!
3. Apartments appraised by New York based banks – what could possibly go wrong?
