Seeing that The What is from Lodi NJ, I figured I’d Google for pics of the place. It took me a couple of minutes before I could pick myself from off the floor from laughing and get around to typing this. Visit Satin Dolls much?

Not saying that I disagree that we’re in for serious hard times, but I do see now where the anger’s coming from.
I work on Wall St., like a bunch of people here.
All the major banks are cutting. Guy next to me made 400k/yr and just got let go. 20+ people in a friends group got whacked. each made 300k+.
Interestingly, more than half of them have left NYC.
At a minimum, financial employment is going to be down 10% from last year. These people are either
a) not going to be here
b) not making nearly as much as they were before
Everyone else is going to make a LOT less this year.
Who is going to buy the condos and the mansions at these prices? Given job instability, it would be dumb to take a mortgage that assumes that you’ll be fully employed for the next 30 years.
I can see a 20% cut to certain high-end properties, especially the ones that make no sense as rentals. Eventually the price/rent ratios should converge back to something more realistic.

the bed stuy house will sell for 1.6 in 10 years.
Wow. All these houses suck. I hope Spring brings an increase in inventory and some better options.
Stop it! All of you.
Let’s get back to this week’s open house picks.
I live accross the street from one of them and want to know your thoughts.
This is economy is so screwed. Any increase in house prices or any money made anywhere for that matter, is just a drop in the value of the dollar. Just a shell game the Bush admin is playing to make Americans believe the economy is still growing.
Oh, and this blog is for Slopers not Greeners.
