Discussion about
"In the last 20 years, I’ve never seen anything like it," said Chuck Whitehead, general manager for Coldwell Banker's Southwest Riverside operations. "I bought my first house in 1996, a four-bedroom for $124,000, and I could probably buy that same house for $124,000. All the appreciation we've gained in the last 15 years, it's gone." http://www.nctimes.com/business/article_2d7be10c-dcf1-5c2b-a8a8-c02bf36e6b74.html

The graph allows you to enter a Manhattan zip code and hone in on that area of the city.
SO YES!

And that's just the beginning, RS: when the Fed winds down this stupid monetarist QEII and all of the air is deflated out of the stock market, the oil market, the gold market, & the commodities market, there is going to be worse than a double-dip. Added to that the equally stupid attempt to balance the budget, and bingo, we're dead.

I'm seriously considering a move back to Florida: a 2,500 square foot house on a canal in Ft. Lauderdale is running about $350k, down from $800k at the peak in 2007. The Fed is now doing what it did after the dot.com boom, which led to the housing boom, which is now leading to a commodities boom and worldwide inflation. Time for Helicopter Ben to stop trying out his PhD thesis on the good denizens of the world: it's not working!

Falcogold is still of the ilk that believes that supply and demand do not apply to Manhattan.

Good luck with that.
