Open House Traffic

mhillqt I went to a few open houses today too was looking at 1 bedrooms but nothing I found was in the mid 400,s what neighboorhoods are u talking about co op or condo?

murray hill coops.....these were converted alcove studios.....that were nicely converted into 1 beds.....where were you looking and what pricepoints were you seeing?

sorry i misread I was looking for jr4 1bedrooms

People need to be really careful of any co-op with sponsor apartments or in less than PRIME locations and with residents who are not wealthy.

I haven't been to an open house in 6 months. It just feels so pointless once you start doing the math.

We were planning to go to an OH in Washington Heights but decided to take a walk instead... I kind of agree with wishhouse--it's a bit pointless. Unless, of course, it's the 'perfect' place...

i saw 277 WEA today - i was there early and traffic showed up the first minute the doors were opened....

Went to no open houses today; nothing to report. It was a beautiful day and I went record shopping.

Ahhh record shopping god bless u evnyc! Let's not let records die!

RECORDS? Evnyc, what kind of turntable do you have? I have a 1967 Gararrd 40 MKII, and a 1979 BIC model 980.

hehe, my ipod broke pre-marathon. Will next buy a Droid and put music there, but have found that iTunes is NOT user-friendly unless you own an iTunes device. That unfortunately means buying a copy and slapping it into a couple different formats. But I do like records and have a player.

By the way, I completely forgot the name of the store where you got your fabulous coat. What was the name again? My apologies. I can't remember anything.

Matt, you're on ignore, but I peeked. The record player is my husband's; I bought the White Lies and Yeah Yeah Yeahs today. My vynyl is limited to rare Joy Division albums, the cure, and on account of the spouse, a substantial country album.

Mimi, next SE outing should be a Holiday Fun Outing, don't you agree?

Argh. I cannot type tonight. Substantial country album collection. Lordy.

NYCMATT, Geez, I have several thousand LP's and several turntables, including a great B&O. Unfortunately, they are all still in my suburban house and not in my tiny NYC pied-a-terre turned life sentence it seems. One daughter tells me that they are now issuing LP's again (her bands and others). Don't get rid of your turntables!

NYgirl: I didn't know you were looking on the UWS. 6D is taking advantage of the market thaw - remember that 6C (facing the same direction, classic 7 needing huge reno) closed at 500k lower.

Went to see HAIR. Took a friend who was born in 1965 - in what was then the USSR! He loved it, came home, bought the current production music right from Itunes.
Just not the same! I want my original broadway cast vinyl album in its sleeve with the bright green art work. I want the turntable I sold at my yard sale when I sold the house.
And I don't want to go to open houses in NYC until it's all better again.

glad these posts stay on topic....ie open house traffic

"Mimi, next SE outing should be a Holiday Fun Outing, don't you agree?"

I am all ears since i MISSED the last one! we'd make a fine bunch of drunken carolers, don't you think..

evnyc, I'll send u a private email. It was very nice to meet u. Too bad I am 5 thousand miles away! And so will be for a while unless I end up buying soon...The good part: I get to spend the christmas holidays in the pool drinking spritzer with ice, the national drink here...
