Thanks, 1:29. I’ll be learning English for the rest of my life.
“But its the same regurgitated dribble, from the same 3 websites.”
He’s advocating a crash in prices like the NY Times, and perhaps yourself, advocates a rise in prices. It’s all about psychology (compounded with economic fundamentals).
“I’m a homeowner who doesn’t plan on selling in the next 10 yrs.”
You are one of many. But the reality is not everyone will be able to hold on that long. God has a plan of his own. If you’re atheist, shit happens. Did you see the list of tax seisures planned for June 19th in the NY Daily News the other day? My own building where I rent is f***in’ on there. In fact, many addresses in and around prime Fort Greene and Clinton Hill are on there.
“Is rants are just mono-themed and wreak of bitterness.”
Many of the threads on this blog are mono-themed (rosy) and wreak of euphoria.
That’s “reek,” not “wreak,” 1:21. The What wreaks havoc. The responses to him just reek.
1:09 is right on the crack. I agree that the deviation between ask and close is insignificant but housing bulls tend to scream “HOT Market” when homes sell above ask in a bidding war. Can’t have it both ways.
“And more than one person takes heed to what he says”

“More than one person thinks The What is a twat.”
And more than one person takes heed to what he says because his points, although animated, are generally spot on. “twat” responses to him wreak of homeowner trouble.
1:05 is right on the money.
When houses sell above ask, it is the sign of a strong market.
When houses sell below ask, it is also the sign of a strong market.
Period.
i purposely asked about 30-40k more on my asking price knowing that i’d settle for less.
so people who say selling for a lower than asking price and correlating that to an unhealthy market simply don’t own anything and don’t know how the process works.
anyone who knows anything about real estate knows you look at comps, not asking prices and this above house was an extremely agressive price for this area and house and it sold.
anyone who said that the above is a sign of a weak market, doesn’t know their ass from their elbow.
period.
question for The What:
“Governments around the nation are paying 20% to borrow money!!!”
Can you explain for the class what you mean by that sentence?
