  1. 5:00,

    Excellent site. I’ve been posting information from there for years. Everybody should check it out. Many bubble stories and characteristics to learn from (or not). History always repeats itself.

  2. Flat for years? Nooooooooo. Prices have gone up 3 to 4 x what they were a decade ago in much of the city.

    Residential market has cooled a bit on the lower end stuff. Sellers are still getting close to what they are asking however.

    Lark Street is still Lark Street. (www.larkstreet.org) and the gentrication marches on.

    When were you in Albany?

  3. Sitting up here in Albany reading this is a hell of a lot of fun.

    Three plus million for the place on Dean? Hell, Ill sell you a 45K sq ft 91 unit apartment building for 6. Great location, If you have a good swing you can hit the state capitol with golf balls.

  4. “All of the original detail is there in the living areas. Use an ounce of vision and try to imagine the space without the furniture you find so objectionable. Obviously the kitchens and bathrooms have been updated, and if not to your taste, do them over. That’s to be expected. You’re never going to find a kitchen/bathroom renovation that looks perfect, except for the one you do yourself.”

    No way is all the detail there. The problem is they want the seller to overpay for the house like they overpaid for their designer furniture.

    Obviously you are the one who doesn’t know how to buy a house. You do not buy a place priced a million dollars over what it should be only to rip out the high end kitchens and baths to redo them the way you want. You buy a place priced right with the kitchen and bath reno you like or priced less knowing you have to keep money to redo the old kitchen and baths.

  5. Completely agree with 4:46. The people who say the Dean Street renovation is “nothing special” or “sterile” don’t know how to buy a house, and will remain renters forever. All of the original detail is there in the living areas. Use an ounce of vision and try to imagine the space without the furniture you find so objectionable. Obviously the kitchens and bathrooms have been updated, and if not to your taste, do them over. That’s to be expected. You’re never going to find a kitchen/bathroom renovation that looks perfect, except for the one you do yourself.
