Buyers Developing Aversion to Renovating
When the market was booming, buyers were willing to take on renovations in order to get a better deal. These days, however, fixer-uppers are demanding steeper discounts to their move-in-ready brethren, if they’re even selling at all. “Buyers don’t want to do any renovations right now,” Halstead’s Amelia Gewirtz told The Real Deal. “I have…
When the market was booming, buyers were willing to take on renovations in order to get a better deal. These days, however, fixer-uppers are demanding steeper discounts to their move-in-ready brethren, if they’re even selling at all. “Buyers don’t want to do any renovations right now,” Halstead’s Amelia Gewirtz told The Real Deal. “I have people saying, ‘I don’t even want to have to paint.'”
At the risk of sounding even more square than people already think I am, what is “OE”?
i have issues with the word “McMansion”. it’s used too freely to denigrate any kind of home that isn’t in brooklyn. newsflash, half your brooklyn brownstones are the ORIGINAL McMansions!

Well before you could go to Ikea buy a 20 dollar piece of wood bring it to your house and say your MacMansion was now worth 50,000 dollars more because of the work of art you had just added to it. Now you could add whatever you like1 nothing will get buyers and renters to like your place but a heafty price cut.

That charges too much for 40s of OE.
that’s funny cuz here is the issue really. bodegas sell cheap beer and malt liquor. fauxdegas mostly only carry annoying overpriced photoshop beer (that’s my name for stupid beer that all tastes the same but people just stick random stickers of stupid stuff on it and charge a premium. it’s a scourge). most fauxdegas, the only lowest price beer they will carry is PBR (i refuse to drink that) or budweister(yuck) and it’s like 1.60 a 16 can whereas a 40 ounce of YES OE, Colt45, St Ides is 2.50.

a fauxdega is a bodega. kinda like the lipstick on a pig thingie that you see all over nyc. they pretend everything is organic and over charge. it goes from run down bodega to renovated store pretending to be something it isnt. the thing is i love bodegas. i can sorta kinda deal with fauxdegas too, i mean they do serve their purpose. but just slapping “Natural” on your signage doesnt give you the right to overcharge by 500 percent. barf.

a fauxdegas, as defined by rob a few months ago, is an upscale, trendy, overpriced, bodega.
What is “fauxdegas”?
My ‘impression’ is that it’s a knock off of ‘Dancers at the Bar’
