Is It a Buyer's or Seller's Market in Townhouses?
Here’s an email we received from a reader this week: I was hoping you could foment some sort of discussion on the summer brooklyn townhouse market. I can’t really figure out what’s going on. It seems like a lot of stuff is left over from the spring, but then some great stuff just flies off…

I was hoping you could foment some sort of discussion on the summer brooklyn townhouse market. I can’t really figure out what’s going on. It seems like a lot of stuff is left over from the spring, but then some great stuff just flies off the shelf. I’ve been to dozens of open houses the past few weeks, some are empty, some are thronged. I can’t tell if it’s a buyer’s market or a seller’s market. It seems like a lot of people are waiting for the fall to see what comes on the market. What’s your sense?
Seems to us like there’s not a lot of good inventory and that buyers aren’t desperate enough to go for the crap. Your thoughts?

WWJBD!
Don’t look now Biff, but here’s your 200th post.
Nice bet, John.
Now just how did you effect to post so many seemingly different characters and viewpoints?
Hah, j/k.
For condos, as one of the original posters noted, but not for houses.
buyer’s market
Yahoo! Even more ways to appreciate you. Anon 5:27 and I will check it out tomorrow, assuming I can catch up on all the work I didn’t do today (speaking of questionable decisions).
Brooklyn’s even sweeter now that I won $100 from Rob @ 10.03. Woo hoo!!!!
Thanks, Biff. Please visit me at the Gates Reno for more unappreciated sarcasm and unadulterated cynicism (with some questionable decisions and a good bit of defensiveness for said decisions mixed in for good measure).
Prospective Buyer –
Everything changes and city life wasn’t as wonderful as you are selectively remembering. You sound much too young to pining for the good ol’ days.
You’ll be searching for something that never really existed but in your innocent childhood imagination.
Even in small towns, rural, suburbs people also claim was better 20 years or 30 years or 60 years ago.
