Kane Manera, an Australian working as a luxury property agent at Douglas Elliman Real Estate in New York and a contributor to The Real Estate Conversation, was recently asked to weigh in on the current real-world values of the city's most famous fictional homes from TV and movies. It was the perfect task for Manera, who is not only an expert on Manhattan's luxury market, but is also a former TV star himself, having appeared in a US drama called 'Guiding Light' before getting into the real estate business.

Manera quotes a price of around $900,000 for the Upper West Side apartment where Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer would talk about nothing. With no doorman, Jerry was hardly living large by New York standards. Downtown, Carrie Bradshaw lived in a West Village apartment in 'Sex and The City.' "The façade in the show was actually at 64 Perry Street, which my team sold last year for $13.25 million," says Manera. "The interior needed to be gutted entirely."
