“i predict 2 of these four will be sold in 6 months. ”
Not for nothing, statements like that are just silly.
Soothsaying at best.
That Windsor Terrace garden is amazing.
352 6th Street should be priced like 323 7th Street: $850,000.
Same type of house, both estate condition, one block away from each other.
The comps have spoken.
i predict 2 of these four will be sold in 6 months.
none have pulled their prop and all have taken the first painful step of a price haircut. they’re ready to give some more.
and the buyer freeze is defrosting just enough.
prices will be down up to 20% from peak comp on the high quality goods.
pls don’t bother me with the ask discounts. gigo.
antidope – a key reason that I am so patient, and cautious, is precisely because I am aware of the income risk in this climate. Evidently, others are too – just one of the factors exerting continuing downward price pressure. And I don’t think sellers are stupid, just unrealistic.
‘dope – I see nothing wrong with the MM comments on the two houses she mentioned. Do you actually think the estate sale on 6th St. has no interest in selling and is just fishing? Maybe the children of those now dead old folks with bad taste are really planning on moving in together.
According to ‘dope buyers and sellers are all smart. Nobody makes bad deals. The market rules and prices are flat. I’m guessing you bought some property in, say, 2007 or 2008. Either that or you are a broker.
Taxes are high on Marlborough, presumably because of its use as professional office as well as residence. I love the large yard even though a lot of it is now patient parking, but you’re so close to the train station that you’d probably have to listen to the conductor’s announcements all day and night.
To me, this makes more sense for a doctor or dentist who wants to live above the shop than someone thinking of converting it to fully residential.
The house has been for sale for 2 1/2 years.
That should tell you something.
an ask divorced from reality means they are not serious sellers (either fishing for a sucker or not really distressed or trapped by circumstance) or they are really stupid. (this “ask the moon” syndrome is a symmetric reflection of the more outrageous bottom feeders ’round here, btw.)
i see the MM takes the latter view (sellers r stoopid) and offers her sage wisdom for free on the point. surprisingly her advice supports her world view that – if it ultimately prevails – will allow her to get into a perfect home at a nice discount to current market prices. of course, this assumes she’ll still make the same money in the new depression era. i’d hazard there might be some correlation risk.
