Staggering increase in post labor day inventory

if one doesn't have patience, one must do what one must do.

enjoy your digs, spin.

You break me up AR! I was patient long enough to find my place at my price. Zero regrets. Happy family and happy owner once again.

OK, this thing is going in a box now for sure.

asa lama lakum....a happy wife is a happy life..enjoy..peace

Congratulations on your new home! Enjoy!

Congratulations, Spin, the place sounds great. Enjoy your ongoing project and the final result of your hard work!

Nothing better than a happy home owner.
Congrats.

always happy to provide a chuckle, spin.

Congrats, Spin. Have you put up the mirror yet?

Wow! You're going to live in the apartment while doing the kitchen and baths? That's very brave. Did your contractor try to talk you out of it? I agree that the post-LD inventory has been really disappointing. Not sure if there will be a huge post-Yom Kipur flood of product but I'm pretty surprised at how little I'd even want to look at.

W81 - the mirror is in and looks terrific. Thanks again for the recommendation.

noposition - i'm abnormal.. and the contractor. As it is I'll be sending mom and daughter away for a week for the kitchen. For the baths I'll do one at a time. Done it more times than I care to remember and really not that bad when you're doing it all yourself. For the kitchen I'll sub out the demo work and have the cabinets here ahead of time.

I'm surprised by the lack of new inventory this September - and disappointed. I saw lots more interesting properties last Spring.

Will be interesting to see what's been happening to Manhattan prices over the summer months...very soon.

spinnaker- how difficult was it to get the building to agree to you doing all that work yourself?

opheus12 - we'll have to see on the board. My wife is an architect and I've built a few houses. Our proposal will be detailed and professional. Most of what I'm doing is replacing flooring, cabinets and fixtures. No walls, electrical or plumbing changes -it's partly why we bought what we bought. If they want me to have a license and insurance I'm prepared to do that.

thanks and good luck with the board.

I dont understand this thread. Is the premise, well a lot didnt come on to the market after labor day, so hurray for my purchase timing?

Batten down the hatches and hoist the sails!
We wish you red skys at night!

House warming???
I smell tequila!

Thanks buddy. I wish you luck with your hunt.
