You have got to be kidding me, 1:24. How can you even post here sounding so dumb.
What part of my post made you think we decided where to buy our house, based on one post on Brownstoner? Didn’t I say we ALREADY own a house elsewhere? Sure I did. Which means, I’ll take this slowly for you, that decision was made long ago before this thread. Which means, are you with me? Which means all I was saying was the comments on this thread AFFIRMED my PREVIOUS, get that now, PREVIOUS, decision to buy elsewhere.
2:22pm, I am not jealous of having to live next door to mean catty people. Sorry. We live very close to Park Slope and can go there all we want for shopping or restaurants, which are the best things about Park Slope. Meanwhile we get to have neighbors who are good, kindly, generous people.
Only the most shallow people on the planet are constantly convinced everybody is jealous of them. It’s a really unappealing trait. It’s also a symptom of borderline personality disorder. Might want to look into that.
any idiot knows the hardest times to sell are right before/during the holidays (i.e. NOW) and during the dead of summer.
are you really THAT stupid, 4:31.
we’ve been lucky to have an extended period of warm weather so it doesn’t feel like november is less than a week away.
I’m not 3:39, but you’re full of shit 4:21.
inventory always rises this time of year, 3:39.
clearly you don’t know much about real estate.
“When I’m working, the kids complain that I don’t cook dinner, don’t do enough laundry, can’t come to school functions….
Then, when they have my undivided attention, they want to buy some expensive toy or gadget, and I have to say I don’t have the cash. They tell me to get back to work.”
your kids sound like spoiled brats.
It is amazing how aggressive the brokers are in jacking prices up, with Corcoran taking a bold lead. I have a feeling this will actually work against them, because inventory will back up fast rather than being steadily sold off at reasonable prices. There have been many more properties listed in the past 4 weeks than in the two months prior, and I suspect that listings will accelerate through the end of the year.
And this is all about inventory.
lowering of prices will only be a boon to brooklyn.
it will suck out a few more of the creative types from manhattan seeking deals before the next run up (i’m guessing maybe 2010) and furthering the diversity of our neighborhoods.
it’s a win, win.
I agree with 3:01. Yes, inventory is still lean which is propping up some prices, and yet a number of places are lingering on the market, requiring price decreases, finding pickier buyers, etc. We’ve seen a number of houses have to cut prices and are still not sold. If I were a broker, I would take the opposite tack and price aggressively low right now to spur a bidding war – that’s what happened with our current place – it attracted *tons* of attention at the open house since it was so well priced, and wound up going over asking. These days, it seems like a number of brokers are just asking the most aggressive (and often outlandish) prices because they are trying to ride the coat-tails of the peak which alas is behind us. That said, even a number of brokers are admitting that the market has changed. This winter will indeed be interesting.
