Bearish Brownstoners Miss Mark on 2nd Street Sale
So far we have precious few data points on the predictive powers of the pricing widget. For a while, the only HOTD or COTD to sell was 316 Cumberland Street, which sold for $2,250,000 in June, a shade less than the asking price of $2,295,000 but almost $360,000 more than widget voters predicted. And now…

And now our second data point shows an equally bearish disposition: 93 2nd Street, which generated a predicted selling price of $914,379, just closed for $1,086,312; in our defense, we said at the time that “We could see it getting pretty close to” the asking price of $1,125,000. Interesting, eh?
House of the Day: 93 2nd Street [Brownstoner]
4 people dying (although horrible) does not make up for a 22% reduction in murders over last year.
We are still on track for a record low number of murders for 2009.
You can twist things all you want, but everyone here knows you are a child.
See, I told you, the What doesn’t need facts, he’s operating from the street level. What a dumbass.
“The official NYC murder stats for 2009 continue to be considerably lower than last year, according to NYPD.”
11217– 7 people got shot at block parties this week end! Four of them died! Last weekend was the most violent this year and I don’t need “stats” to tell me. I know from the street level dumbass! The Helicopters was in full force, did you hear them?
ghettoazzpnkbtch you made yourself look like a ass yesterday! Maybe I would have some respect for you if you had an idea what you stood for but you are my Doppelganger, that’s your claim to fame!
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
11217, don’t confuse the What with the facts.
I hate it when people call me out on my sh!t so I accuse them of being someone else.
I had the chance to talk about a house in 11233 yesterday in the HOTD, but I actually had nothing to say. Even when some Jersey loser was being a racist. I gave him a pass! I am losing my real estate cred and losing my mind.
(I am not Dave, tWhat)
The maker of pampers diapers lost money in the quarter. That must mean no babies are being born and no one is having sex. I am a financial wizzard.
i don’t know the people who bought this house, but i doubt very much that they are among the very rich sitting around with piles of cash to throw willy-nilly. they may indeed have had an inheritance, or made some money from a prior sale or had a dp built up which they saw doing nothing (or worse) while invested in the market. but my bet is that beyond that, they’ve got a nice double-income situation with either no kids or small ones, and they saw that a nicely renovated house in a decent neighborhood at a condo price (sustainable on one professional income, if necessary) is a good and pretty rare find even in this market. the market over the next couple of years may make it seem they overpaid, but it is my guess that further declines won’t be so quick or so incredible that they won’t be able to enjoy the home in the meanwhile.
“If you live in 11216 or 11238 you are F*******ED! Noticed this weekend all the gunplay around the “Hood” the good ole days of the ’80s is making a roaring comeback!”

The official NYC murder stats for 2009 continue to be considerably lower than last year, according to NYPD. So far when compared with 2008, the murder rate is nearly 22 percent lower this year, a fairly large increase and, if it continues, this year could break the record for lowest number of murders ever recorded in NYC. The record low was set in 2007 with 496 murders recorder.
The question is: why has it dropped so? Better policing? The economy is making even killers depressed? President Obama?

I love caramel popcorn.
I am also in awe of your cut and paste and copy skills. This is another reason why I lust after you.
