Sebb is like one of those pro life freaks who are ardent war hawks. Blind faith…
What about Snark Slope? I’m sure there are many others, but I’m having a busy day at work so can’t check the handles…
I think Sebb’s line-up would include Aussie (maybe) and possibly I Disagree, though even they have been conceding price declines are likely… In fact, Sebb is kind of in a league of his own, don’t ya think?
Putting on my virtual cap with a big ol’ bear on it,
Muffy
Miss Muffett, your starting lineup will consist of you, The What, HOBOKENROCKS, DOW/Brownstones Half Off/Gravis and shillstoner. You might be right about team size as I’m having a harder time filling sebb’s team.
Sign me up for Team Bear! (something tells me my team will be bigger than Sebb’s…)
squaredrive, that was perfect and can be used over and over in at least three threads per day! Can we assign captains, i.e., sebb for Team Bull and Miss Muffett for Team Bear?
Cliff notes for coming comments:
Team Bull: Wow, Park Slope house got $2.4 with a December closing, so much for the bottom dropping out of the Brooklyn real estate market. Brooklyn is such a special place.
Team Bear: Pslope house went into contract well before the meltdown, not indicative of any market trends. Buyers will only back out or renegotiate under extreme duress. Prices will be dropping fast, can’t wait to buy a dirt cheap brownstone for my family.
Carry on….
CG house came with a rent controlled tenant and was on the other side of the highway. As far as i know.
Carroll Gardens at 25% under the Nov 07 ask. Wow. what can you say to that?
The What’ll be on here shortly telling us these didn’t really sell or that they are not valid comps or that the banks which lent the money are stupid.
