condo-022309.jpg“When we look at New York City, we look at a price-income ratio that historically has been four times income, versus three times nationwide… If you want simply to get back to the median, it would be a 46% correction…If I had to pick one market in the country with the most challenge and the most substantive rate of decline [ahead], it’s New York City. It has the greatest number of job losses among the higher earners.” — Ivy Zelman, a former Credit Suisse analyst, in Barron’s via Curbed.

  1. “my prediction 9% unemployment in NYC”

    We’re already there. Government numbers are cooked like their denial in 2008 of a recession.

    ***Bid half off peak comps***

  2. As far as newbie, I’ve been here 15 years….long enough to make a lot of money on my Manhattan condo purchase. I moved here to milk the market from saps like you. Bitter???

  3. I guess you’ve been told, 11217.

    BTW cornholedinthebodega, I’m in good company since B. Corcoran bougth down the street for over $1.1 MM. You wouldn’t know a long term real estate deal if it bit you in the ass and for that, I feel sorry for you. What an ignorant fool.

  4. 11217 you freakn’ idiot, like what I claim to “own” on a blog means anything. Like anybody believes Dibs when he says he owns 3 properties. The only thing thats fact is Dibs bought his ghetto property for 920K. Nobody is stupid enough to make up sh*t like that. The other fact is you’re nothing but a newbie nyc transplant wannabe talking of “life experiences” in ny…

  5. Where’d you get $500k from??? Besides, I’m not going to lose anything if I’m not selling it for 5-10 years but you can’t seem to comprehend that and for that, I feel sorry for you.
