this bear just went bull.....

Definitely a bearish sign. :)

Good luck. Let the games begin!

Well done marco. Now bubba, when r u going to come clean?

Alright alright. I just bought too....

Congrats.
Enjoy your new home.

:)

"Alright alright. I just bought too.... "

Gold at 1310.
Where you get the money to buy? *ouch*

:)

w/a nice swim up tiki bar, I hope.

No no. I bought the $500 barbie playhouse for my daughter. It'll be here any moment via amazon.

No nyc re is still toasty. Trust me, urbandigs inventory is spiking, another round of layoffs,..... I'm definitely seeing serious weakness on top end.

Oh and ericho. Congrats on the superfund designation. I was pulling for you guys. :)

marco: Congrats! Sept.was the magic month for you. Enjoy your new apartment.

w67th: That Barbie playhouse rocks!

Congrats, Marco! Many happy years in your new home.

Congratulations, Marco. Enjoy!

Sorry, but why does closing on an apartment instantly make you a bull? What does it say about you and everything you're written to date when something that essentially insignificant to the market flips your market view? Or was this all tongue-in-cheek and I've gone too far here? Either way, congrats and hope you enjoy your new home!

Marco, does that mean that now you're gonna talk the market up alla SteveF hoping that prices won't drop any further ?

I hate it when that happens... it's like a Ho saying her bj are better... SteveF r u there in the corner?

Go Marco!!!!
Enjoy!

'Oh and ericho. Congrats on the superfund designation. I was pulling for you guys. :)'

Whack'em while he's down why don't you...

Maybe it end up as one of those...'trying to clean it only makes it worse' senarios.
Like I've been saying all along...If there was no Newtown Creek there would be no X-Men.

Can someone translate this????

Modern - I have 3 cars in the household. My turbo logged 900 miles in the last 9 months. I'm a commercial RE investor, with a track record of doing deals and am ALWAYS looking. I can't stop being a "business" person. My accountant gave me a choice of designating a car for business... I chose TT. As i said, in my prior career had lots of dealings with corporate types. Sponsored and took part in corporate junkets.... you don't know tax cheating till you've been around little banking MDs fighting over the Concorde or 1st class....those are little beeeytchess.... I fear NO audit and sleep well every nite.

Here a question, if Jenna Jameson buys vaginal cream cause she's got a yeastie? is it work related or personal use, and let's say for argument sake she got it 30% from husband and 70% from doing movies? Should we have a forensic vaginacologist to determine the source of yeast? I'd love to be in that IRS audit.

30yrs.. I've got 4 words for you. "CAT FOOD"

As to your parking question, I like Tower 67 garage as it only allows monthlies and I don't have to deal with a parking lot full of Jersies getting their fill if Aida. Insurance, funny enough, I just got my bill for my $20MM personal umbrella policy. Section D subpart ii, third paragraph states I shall have on all motor vehicles and motorboats liability insurance of $1MM for my umbrella to be binding. FYI, even though I am 40yo w/ a 6yo and 4yo I carry NO life insurance, but just a $20MM umbrella insurance... why would that be? 30yrs... oh why?

Look, I'm getting tired of your pseudo "smarter" than thou, more experienced than thou, smoke jacket wearing little prima donna "persona" you like to portray on SE. Let me ask you something that's bugging me at the moment. You've been in NYC RE for 30 yrs in the greatest re-birth and renaissance of NYC in its history and then the greatest RE bubble in its history. My father came to NYC in 1977(so about the same time), a immigrant without a HS education, no english skills (still can't read or speak it well), with 3 kids in tow, a housewife and $2000.00 in his pocket. I was younger, but you and I grew up in NYC together, the bx burning, crack/aids epidemic, MTV, re-birth of the city, internet boom, 9/11, NYC RE bubble. You were older, were in NYC RE, saw 100s of LT cases, involved in many flips, many sales, come from a family of RE, all the while turning down offers from large brokerages cause they couldn't pay what you thought you should be paid. Donald made billions, Macklowes made billions, Kushners made billions and my dad (let's call him daddy monkey) is 10x richer than I and hasn't had to work in 15 yrs (me just 7yrs).

Given all this, I would think a person such as yourself wouldn't be sharing an office with a RE borker's desk abutting yours in the waning years of your career. If I had no kids, and was in my mid 50's, I'd be traveling the world with my wife never looking back.

So put your smoking jacket on, roll down the blinds, get your 35mm Linda Lovelace movie projector going and pop some popcorn.

Oh, yeah... four words.
FUCK YOU.

P.S. since 1989, Porsche has galvanized its unibodies and gives a 10 yr rust warranty. My car is 3 yrs old, I'm covered.

arguable the most bubbilicious gr "

kinda like jack welch's "cleaning it up will make it worse" script for the hudson river valley--

Marco, hedge your bet with a CDS on the purchaser....

just kidding.. best of luck

I sure can't.

Oh, Marco: Better purchasing there,

Totally agree with you Marco. Congrats and enjoy your purchase!

Who cares?
Marco: You are now close to my area.
Let me know if you need any help with your move-in, and/or decorating.

Congrats, Marco. Enjoy!

market must be topping again....

Congrats Marco..enjoy your new home!

For how many years have the chicken littles on this board been insisting on the imminent real estate crash in NYC? They keep saying it is right around the corner and . . . still waiting . . .

I was a bear...still am kinda, but at my pricepoint, I feel like things are bottomoed out (hopefully). only wime will tell. I definitely got the second ave. option for free.

A terminally ill religious leader was told by a few doctors that she has 6 - 9 months to live, a year at most. A year later, she was still alive and she's feeling pretty good with the marijuana prescribed by the doctors. She won't be playing tennis or running a marathon anytime soon, but she continues to live her life instead of just waiting to die. The doctors look at her charts and is amazed at how long she has lasted... I guess you can say they are waiting for her to die. Maybe next week, maybe another couple of months, maybe even a year or two from now... One thing is for sure, God hasn't miraculously healed her, at least according to her charts...

Congratulations Marco. I agree, SE is very helpful when it comes to a purchase - particularly pitfalls to avoid.

Better off putting your 'dollar' at work then stashing it under your mattress.

Maybe i can now eat the blue fish i catch by the Creek instead of selling it to a local supermarket by 67th and 8th ave in Manhattan. They paid me top dollar for those fish.

"a local supermarket by 67th and 8th ave in Manhattan" No such place. Maybe you're thinking of Bay Ridge?
