Psychologically speaking, it's not easy selling an apartment at a loss. That's why some sellers refuse to sell for less than they paid--holding out instead for a "break even" price that isn't really once you take into account brokers' fees and other transaction costs. It's a shrewd psych ops tactic for buyers. For sellers like the three below--each of whom sold this month for exactly what they paid in '05 or '06--it's an ibuprofen for their pride.
