Madonna, Scarlett, Bono Tackle N.Y. Real Estate Deals

Looks like the New York celebrity real estate market is still strong.

New Yorkers are reminded fairly frequently that not everyone is hurting from the nation’s housing slump.

Attention-grabbing names like Madonna, Bono and Scarlett are still making multimillion-dollar real estate deals in the city and the media aren’t shy about reporting it.

“It’s certainly amazing how often, just going through city records, [you find] someone with a well-known name is selling an apartment that’s absurdly big and absurdly expensive,” said Max Abelson, who writes a real estate column for The New York Observer, a weekly newspaper.

Abelson’s latest celebrity reports include news that actress Scarlett Johansson sold her Tribeca loft for nearly $1.9 million and that U2 lead singer Bono sold his Central Park West apartment for $4.9 million.
