It's still a renter's market, Barbara Corcoran says

typical broker shill....oh wait

Way to go out on a limb Barbara.

Next she'll say inventory should rise in January and February.

i've been surprised... barbara has actually been one of the more honest brokers in the last few months. She does that pricing segment on the sunday morning re show, and she's always under the other brokers... and tells sellers not to hold out for a higher price... things might get worse... etc.

Then again, maybe it helps get more transactions going... its honesty only because there is some 'incentive'.

I thought she sold her firm a few years ago. Does she still work there?

such a genius... so insightful

Thanks for the posting - I thought it was quite insightful.

I was particularly struck by the recommendation to begin renewal negotiations four to five months before the expiration of your lease. (I did it three months in advance last year - which did startle my landlord. And I did get a 14% rent reduction.)

But, But...buy the rumor sell the news...Babs has been so fucked up for a decade....her new found religion could prove to be a perfect signal...BUY BUY BUY...she reminds me a bunch of the one hit wonders Abbey Joseph Cohen and Elaine Garzarelli.

Now that she cashed out (I think she sold it for $30m), she can be honest.

truth, was that your equivalent of adding something to the discussion? or was that you being witty?
