“Does anyone remember the Andrew Dice Clay version of Little Miss Muffet? Nevermind, its too ditry for this board.”
Nothing is too dirty for the OT, BD. >>>>>>>>>>
“The widget guess on the Garfield home was $1,524,906.
The figure you have posted above — $1,399,683 — is erroneous”
Interesting. So the widget was off, but only by $125k, not $250k. Very interesting.
MM brings out a level-headed point of view and makes coherent arguments. She does not call others stupid or tell posters they are missing chromosomes. It may not be the point of view that home owners like to hear but everyone here has an “axe to grind” after all. The home owners will always talk up the real estate market because that is their agenda. Everyone is entitled to their opinions.
11217,
Ok, so it is confirmed that that is all she ever did to you.
From what I can recall, unlike many of the posters on here she has actually been to many of the homes, and therefore I find her posts informative.
Maybe I missed it, but I also don’t recall her dipairaging other people’s opinions other than by stating her own strongly.

Pigeon…I don’t actually think she knows what she’s talking about as much as she thinks she knows what she’s talking about. That’s all I’m saying. When these houses sell, I look back at the comments and 8 times out of 10, MM said the house would sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars less than its actual selling price.
I’m certainly no expert either, but MM makes specific comments about price (in such an authoritative way) which usually end up being incorrect.
“You can say what you want about the Park Slope House, but it isn’t waterfront property.”
Not yet. But it will be in 2012, ET.
11217, I will reference you as much as I damn like. LOL!
“But [Miss Muffett is] the expert on the Park Slope market, right…?”

I don’t think anyone is saying Miss Muffet is the expert. But she does seem to know what she’s talking about. So, perhaps it would be fair to say that, while she is not THE expert, she is AN expert.
I wasn’t talking to you, Stevie, so please stop referencing me. You already brought out your “data” 2 weeks ago on a house that I made a comment on.
I thought you said you posted only once a week? Why are you all over the place now?
