Slopefarm,
The “This Week’s Biggest Sales” thread doesn’t tell us so much about the overall market. It mostly tells us about just about the high-end market. Of course, we can extrapolate from there, but the extrapolation isn’t necessarily accurate. That is the point by Smudge to which I agree.
I don’t know whether this makes all the houses on the “This Week’s Biggest Sales” thread outliers. I don’t even know what an outlier is!
But I do think Smudge has a good point when he writes:
“Sure, every property that sells becomes a comp. My point is that Last Week’s Biggest Sales tends to be a small subset of most desirable properties…”
> No comments on the WT house?
Only one. As noted above, the house in the linked listing is apparently 574 17th Street, not 536 17th Street as listed above.
Ahh, thanks Snark.

DIBS, just FYI, if you’re interested, that funny molding is all over Carroll Gardens. It’s Italianate. You can walk by at dusk and see it in all the parlors.
You could say NYC RE has been in a bull market since 1975… with interruptions along the way, of course
any of these will suffice!

You afraid to drink the water in Gowanus??? Going to Dublin for a Mai Tai is about the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard in my life.
I think the most I’ve ever paid for a single drink (an extremely expensive bottle of wine excepted) was back in 1998 at the King Cole bar for a Bombay Saphire & Tonic at $18.00. If you use the cost of living adjuster…

it would be $23.69 today. I should go over and see.
No comments on the WT house?
That house is gorgeous on the outside, but according to the pix could use a new kitchen. If this sale is for real it just goes to show that WT and SS have held up incredibly well!
Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner.

You must have missed Oct ’87, the 1990 selloff and the 1994-1995 flat market

nothing goes straight up.
The S&P500 is at the same level it was in 1998, 2002-2003 and Oct 2008!!!!

exactly. i’d venture to guess that the top of the run from 1980 in real terms was hit in 2000.
