Open House Picks 6/22/07 [Brownstoner]
I heard about the alleged Carlton Avenue bidding war at two different open houses I attended in Ft Greene in the summer. It seems the rumors started with Corcoran and then spread to all the other brokers involved with Ft Greene listings. At one open house I was at, the broker (not from Corcoran) told a group of us that the Carlton house had just gone into contract for over $3 million, “way, way over asking”. His intimation was that we should bid high for his listing, because even an offer at-asking would be too low, since “Carlton had set the new standard.”
Nah 5:28–they’ll be 99 Trillion Dollars, but a postage stamp will be 500 Billion 🙂

P.S. i’m a bitter renter who still thinks brownstones will be 200K in park slope in 2008.
people on wall street are getting bonuses, and big ones. trust me. whether those bonuses are going toward a new nyc real estate purchase is an entirely different question.
“i think the market is going to pick up some serious steam come spring.
a lot of people having been waiting on the sidelines hoping for a bargain that doesn’t seem to be materializing.
the people i know looking to buy are now getting nervous that once again they have missed bottom and are starting to think they better jump in again and start looking more seriously.
i’ve heard this from a number of people.”

Morgan Stanley is the third Wall Street firm to report HIGHER compensation this year. Goldman Sachs Group Inc., the biggest and most-profitable company in the industry, yesterday reported that the figure climbed 23 percent, with average pay rising to $661,490. Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., the fourth- biggest firm, said its compensation pool increased 9.5 percent from a year earlier, with average pay dropping 0.5 percent to $332,470.
Completely WRONG, 5:19.
Please read 1:38.
Did you read the Times today. Nobody on Wall Street is getting a bonus. The real estate market will be nothing like last year.
