I think we all tend to annoy 11217 because we are not as smart as he is.
The widget would have only been fun if it was tied to our individual names so we could see who knows the market and who just likes blowing hot air.
widget was fun because it drew people out and made them think about “value” and make predictions. Of course, it always came in under but it was incredibly consistent in that. was like a little parlor game here that I miss.
“Mr. Joist really called it on the 6th Avenue house”
Was he the guy that posted about the scrappy backyard or something? He shouldn’t quit is day job.
Judging by the sale price more than one person might have fell in love with it.
The widget was kinda stupid.
Widget pegged 6th Avenue at 2.3 million and it sold for over ask.
Widget pegged Carroll Gardens at 2.3 and it sold for 2.7.
People only used the widget to say what they WISH houses sold for.
Most people on here don’t really know what the hell they’re talking about actually. Went to the open house for that awesome apartment on President Street over the weekend. You know…the duplex with the master bath on the 2nd floor with the amazing deck up there that no one would want because they wouldn’t want their guests having to go through their bedroom. Or wouldn’t want their kids sleeping on another floor. Remember that one?
It received multiple offers before the first open house on Sunday.
I don’t see how the very predictable underpricing of the widget is a threat to potential advertisers in the marketplace. It certainly didn’t prevent any of these houses from selling at the prices they did. It should be easy enough to explain to folks that the widget almost always comes in at 15% under eventual sale price.
Where IS miss muffet these days? Haven’t seen her in ages.
Iroquois:
There are 10 units total, 7 sold, 2 in contract and 1 still for sale.
Not bad considering the prices they’re asking.
sigh…i miss the widget…
