I feel like the Verizon commercial

Look I understand you've got 2.5k more open houses to set up this Sunday, but please it's like saying a first year analyst has to open up a spread sheet.

2,444 open houses tomorrow!!!!!!! Flmao. Can I plz plz plz get some market temp for manhattan re.

How long can you guys keep this up and tell ppl the market is still 'hot'. Flmao.

What does 2,444 open house vs. 1,222 or 500 open houses tell you? I don't see how that number indicate whether the market is hot or cold.

w67th: You got it goin' on! Funny!!!

It would be more meaningful if you also have the numbers of contracts signed/closed.

Foreclosure and unemployment numbers are more interesting, imo.

do you hear that sunday?

-it's the sellers yelling at the borkers, cause they missed the last slow boat to china-

update 2,445 open houses... when will the insanity end?

pssss....pssss....pssss... got a little secret for you borkers.... it's NOT YOU.... it's the pricing.... IMHO...... save yourselves some anguish and only take listing at below 2003/2004 pricing.... it'll save some cookies for my kids

sunday.. howz about 12,366 listings in manhattan? I thought it was like 9K listings? oh well..... herez one for the borker industry....

instead of having 27% of the listing having an open house this sunday... its' actually only 20% bc the number of listings actually increased by 3K... see I CAN be a friend of the industry....

FOOLZZZZZZZZ....

I agree that prices are still in bubble territory around here. I'm just saying that it would be more meaning if you can show that open houses are up and contracts signed are down. If open house and contracts signed are both up then, then it would suggest that the market is indeed hot. Of course, I believe that contracts signed will be down from May onwards.

Foreclosure notices higher than sales numbers, now that would be an even more interesting comparison. We won't get out of bubble territory until distressed sales numbers represents a much higher percentage. I think that's coming... It'll take some time, but definitely coming.

agreed sunday... itz coming...

oh, 2,447 open houses..... oh stop it.. you had me at 2,400.

Sunday, w67 spends the vast majority of his time finding "reasons" for his bearish point of view on real estate. He also believes everything that is on streeteasy (# of listings, open houses, etc) and nothing from anywhere else.

ever hear of causation? I'm bearish bc I READ.... your bullish bc you get paid more in a bullish market and in the BULL mkt 2,447 open houses were NOT necessary... hell in the HEIGHT of the BUBBLE ppl bought w/o ever SEEING A UNIT...

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENTIAL on 6% w/o a showing versus 52 consecutive open houses and then being squeezed to 2% commission... i'd say almost ALL BROKERS took a 3/4 paycut. including you rentalzbrokerzboy! FLMAO.

I'm waiting for my cookies to cool..... oh shit you're right, I'm just a pretend a "borker." FLMAO

I made too many cookies.. any open housers need some more for tomorrow? I don't know if i can bake 2,447 more cookies.... but I got maybe 4 more... ooops... my son just took one.. 3 left...

You're very wrong. The marginal left, and smart and talented people (like me) made more. By being ahead of either the upward or downward trend.

You might have made less, I got a better apartment, and just signed on a place in the berkshires.

If that's a 3/4 paycut, ill take another

Just stay on the MA side of the line, jimhones, so that you don't bother columbiacounty.
In fact, stay out of Columbia County entirely.

Oh yes.

What town did you sign on?

2484 open houses!!!!! Awesome call selling NYC apt Columbia!!!!!! Tell your wife to give you another hug.

dog, you haven't been hear long enough to realize that columbia cunty is a minimalized poster, and not a place. or maybe it still is a place, but that has no relevance here

You rest, Homer. Just rest. I totally know and love Columbia County in its various renditions.
But you do have a tiny flash of fascinating philosophy now and then, jim-hones "that has no relevance here" and on a different thread -------- "oh what difference does it make"
I'm becoming a stalker for jim_hones when he gets exhausted and waxes philosophical ----- like Homer stirring up his home-made batch of Prozac.

A minimalized poster. A minimalized poster on an idiosyncratic and really rather mesmerizing NYC real estate internet forum ....
Something very poetic about jim-hones. And he called me a hoodie rat, and I loved it.
Aah. The penny drops. hones is a poet. He IS one.

Come on all you open house sitting borkers... ya gotz zip, nada... off suit deuces... come on ..... bored outta your mind.. .why don't you just tell it like it iz? It's completely dead.... anyone with money has bought and anyone with a brain is waiting this market out... TELL ME THE MKT TEMP!!!!

Oh.... the silence speaks volumes.... ya guyz couldn't STFU when it was going up.... LOST YOUR golden tongue? Stop eating those cookies and tell me how "hot" the mkt is... .FLAMO

"off suit deuces."

there would really be an issue if you had same suit deuces....Flmao,lemmings,borkers

Moxie. Ya couldve at least given me market temp while taking the train back to brooklyn. So how were the 3 open houses you held? Lots of traffic, or taking one for your client.

Herez how I see it playing out. Lots of sellers playing musical chairs with lots of brokerage houses until 'reality' sets in. I really feel for the brokerage industry. It'll almost be like you don't WANT an exclusive that's priced a Dollar more than a comp. But there will always be the newbie that'll take the listing, hey? So open housing you will do.

Oh smoking and gambling (except for bachelor parties at Vegas, just to be social) I don't do.

Inventory well over 9k again...

w67 i'm not a broker and i live on the westside...i inferred from the "same suit deuces" comment that poker ain't your thing

My bad moxie. Too many characters on se. Yeah I suck at poker. It's a reverse lottery for my dude friends. I bet with shit all the time..... Cause $1k pot ain't that big of a deal... But they know it. One time I thought I lost the hand and then my friend proceeded to look at my cards and say, 'dumbasss you got a straight.'!
