Who is the idiot paying over $4M to live in that monstrosity?
I guess fools and their money are soon parted.
Not sure if anyone knows but most of these large houses owned by the Orthodox Jews are also hooked up with $100,000-$200,000 smart home technologies…I visited the house of an Orthodox Jew who showed me how everything works. As they are not supposed to be doing anything physicall during Shabatt, the homes are on full auto pilot and do everything from turn lights on and off to open and close window treatments. It was unreal!

Woops, typo above – meant to say 8th ave HOTD was cut from 2.595 to *2.29* and is now sitting at 1.9…
Lechacal – I think most (if not all) people on this blog are beyond taking sebb seriously, given how totally out-of-touch his posts are (not to mention grammatically indecipherable). I’ve stopped even responding to his posts. There is something very sad about him, although compassion can be harder to muster for such a blustery insulting person (I always picture him red-faced, with steam blowing from his ears as he sputters out his misspelled rants).
Jackal takes pawn. Checkmate.
Sebb: oh really? That isn’t all you have said. You called me all kinds of names when I told people in the fall that they should not buy and that prices would start falling. I was right, and you were wrong: prices have fallen substantially since then. People who listened to me have saved lots of money. People who listened to you are underwater. Do you really think you have any credibility left? There are plenty of intelligent and thoughful homeowners on this board who have more optimistic views of the market than I do, and I respect them and their views. You on the other hand have contributed nothing to the price debate but repeating your insecurities and insulting those who have chosen not to become homeowners.
Since we’re digging up old quotes, here’s another morsel: the HOTD I quoted in original thread (the 8th avenue one) that had its price cut from 2.595 to 2.95 is now asking 1.9 and sitting and sitting.
Yet another unit from the Meier building that tops the list. How can this be? After all, so many of the real estate genuises on brownstoner predicted nothing but doom and glood for this building. How could so many people be so wrong?
For the millionth time, Beyonce did NOT purchase a unit in this building. Pure rumor, folks.
lechacal: what i have said over and over is there is plenty of value in NYC real estate at the prices we are at in 2009. There is no need for a drop to occur in order to justify prices. Like i said renters are beat.
