Why does it always take me two paragraphs to say what dh can say in a sentence fragment?
oh yeah – above widget – duh. that would be a zillion!
No, dh, they almost all sold above widget. BHO and others kept lowballing home values on the theory that the whole Brooklyn brownstone market was collapsing, and when the house sold above the widget prediction, as was almost invariably the case, BHO would claim it was an outlier, straining the meaning of the word outlier well past its natural breaking point.
The widget was pretty reliable — you could almost count on a house selling for 15% more than the widget price. That’s one reason why I imagine the advertisers put the kibosh on it, although I think there was sufficient proof that the market was impervious to the widget and the realtors shouldn’t have given two shits about the widget. But it was at least unseemly to them, I imagine, for realtors to be advertising on a site that was consistently undervaluing their listings.
Sorry, I have to wear black Pumas, not Nikes. And I think if we’re doing Converse, they have to be the glitter ones.
If I’m not mistaken, most of the houses sold in the 10% +/- range above widget expectations.

It was his man cave. Away from the 4 wives and 28 kids. Away from making the PR films for Al Quaeda. He was chillin in his man cave.
haha slopey – that would be, what about 2?
non sequitur, but outlier.cc is a lovely hipster fancy bike clothing store.
I want to know why Bin Laden was videoed watching TV wrapped in a ratty blanket. Was that like the wives were fooling around, snapping cute “at ease” shots of their husband for the family album/archives. Chillin’ on a Sunday, beard all white and swaddled in rags. Sunday Styles for the Al Queda review.
