Mopar and 11217 are putting words in my mouth that I never said. I’m absolutely not looking for a 3-4 million house to sell for 1 million – we never looked seriously at those kinds of houses to begin with. I actually *prefer* a small, modest home (less carbon footprint and my preference is for simple finishes). Also, I predicted a price cut for Lincoln and it got one, so how am I wrong?
I have admitted here that no one can predict the exact size of the percentage drops in NYC RE but everyone agrees that more price cuts are coming, and that’s exactly what’s happening. Also, as today’s 13th St house shows (had its price cut twice already, and now group is appraising at 1.3 mil) or yesterday’s HOTD shows, houses in prime PS (at least prime enough for us) are dropping to the 1.5 range, if not below. Indeed, some people just enjoy twising other people’s words/perspectives, which I find bizarre.
I think we’re just havin’ a little fun.
MM can take it. She’s a tough bird.
some of you spend way too much time thinking about miss muffett.
for that mansion, I’ll offer 1.35M
And even MORE to the point…MM will not expand her search to areas where houses do actually sell for 1 million to 1.3 million, she is willing to wait indefinitely until that 4000 sf mansion on Garfield and 8th Avenue drops to her price point.
More to the point: Miss Muffet predicts houses on prime Park Slope blocks now selling for $3 to $4 million will fall to $1 million to $1.3 million, at which point she will buy.
who wants to build a synagogue in red hook ??
Let’s let MM speak for herself and see if she thinks the house sold for more than she thought it would…or less…
You are right though Ledbury…it is probably semantics, I just like to keep MM on her toes… 😉
The seller offered a price of 10% off asking price and got it.
This is pretty much semantics. Then that house yesterday that sold for 50% under ask didn’t get a price chop either becuase they never relisted it for the lower price? (and yes the house probably went for peak comps so I’m not arguing it for a bearish sale, just using it to illustrate the semantics point.)
