    Sales Suffer in a Wealthy ZIP Code

    A SPACIOUS four-bedroom three-and-a-half-bath split ranch with an in-ground gunite pool and a cabana on two and a half acres with backyard to die for: Billee and Irving Spodek’s house went on the market last May for $1.975 million, and they accepted an offer on it within three months. But in October, just days before the closing, the stock market tanked, the bank withdrew its mortgage commitment and the deal fell through.

    Coming to a Ghetto near you!

    The Spodeks’ situation is not unusual in this wealthy village of about 1,100 homes and estates set along winding scenic roads, with its horse trails, polo fields, gardens and two country clubs. According to the Multiple Listing Service of Long Island, 88 homes here are on the market, priced from $949,000 to $20 million.

    But… But..But.. It can’t happen here, right???

    “Dottie Herman, president and chief executive of Prudential Douglas Elliman, said there was a backlog of homes priced at $2 million to $4 million. Some belong to people who lost money in the Ponzi scheme constructed by Bernard Madoff, Ms. Herman said, while others are either casualties of the financial crisis or simply seeking to downsize.”

    Oh lookie fucking here! They are still blaming Madoff for their own Greed and Delusion! That’s so 2008!

    Oh wait for it here is the Money shot!!!

    “If I had sold my house two years ago,” she added, “I would have gotten over $2 million for it. They are coming in with lowball offers, and you are supposed to say, ‘Thank you for buying my home.’ They are giving you crumbs. They want a $3 million house for $1 million.”

    ROTFLMMFAOYAFS!!!!!! This summer is going to be real nice!

    “Among his listings is the four-acre estate of Victoria Gotti, daughter of the Mafia figure John Gotti — who not long ago starred, along with her columned white-brick mansion, in the cable TV show “Growing Up Gotti.” The property has fountains, a pool with cascading waterfalls, a guest house, and a stable with paddock. It carries an annual tax tab of $81,204, including village taxes of $12,832.”

    Damn it’s bad for the Mob! See ya later Retards! Nice knowing ya..

    The What (But.. But.. I voted for Obama)

    Someday people will wake the fuck up!!!

  2. Hi All,
    Benson is right about Newburgh, NY. It’s an impoverished city, actually very impoverished.

    Friends of ours looked at houses there and told us that while they were going around with the realtor they were scared to get out of the car. Hubby and I couldn’t believe it. We’re from Brooklyn, how scary can it be, so we went and checked it out.
    Let’s just say, hubby and I are fearless and we drove around and didn’t get out of the car. They do have a nice waterfront and we got out there and walked around. But once we were in the city, while there are beautiful homes, it’s a shame that so many are abandoned and/or dilapidated.

    Beacon across the river is nice.

  3. Amen to that. Given that kind of money I’d never buy one of those. Give me a small detached frame house in Greenwood Heights and a fat @ss bank account instead any day. Of course then I’d be perpetually drunk…that’s a lot of beer money 🙂
