Manhattan market on fire

Hi JuiceMan. How's the family? Must be about time for the little JuiceSnack to start school, no?

Hello W81st! Yes, UWS preschool for two. Isn't it grand? How are you? Business is surely good?

Juice!! been a long time!

Wow, the second one started already? That's crazy.

RE is still a sideline for me. Good thing too.

Digs!! Your inventory widgets are trending low, low, low!

Hi, Juice. Glad you're back!

Westie, do you have an updated email address?

Fort Lauderdale.

Bramstar: You have mail.

if the fucking obama and fucking benanke haven't been printing money and debt like crazy, if this duet of fuckers haven't lend our tax money to wall street's bonus pool called tarp, if our fucking government hasn't ordered to stop foreclosure, it'll be the fucking JuiceMan who need to work for juice

Remember those silly people who said the market wouldn't crash? Oh wait, what do we have here?

"Remember those silly people that said PSQF prices would adjust to $500?"

Talking about Brooks?

Hey bramstar!

Hey SWE, glad to hear you are finally admitting the market is up!

RealEstateNY: Yup. The same Brooks2 who now claims he rents in a prime location, full service, luxury building, and this year, despite rising costs (real estate taxes, energy, unions, etc.) and strong rising rents across the board, all he had to do was ask his landlord not to raise his rent at all because he's such an asset to his building, and so they didn't.

Ooos. Did I type "asset?" I meant "asshat."

No matter how strong the market a good tenant at a few bucks less is worth the money saved in not having to paint, have the place empty for a month, etc. Say 3K/mos in rent. You're talking 5K or so in costs (or 400/mos over a year's lease)

>/mos over a year's lease)

Nobody is moving yearly.

JM: A reminder that time does indeed fly! The birth announcement here seems like yesterday!

I wonder where stevehjx is?

Fort Lauderdale.

Steve is wearing white shoes and flowered shirts and driving a golf cart to get his groceries. He is also bored out of his mind with Florida living.

but at least steve has a brand spanking almost new $39,000 2011 mercedes to make up for having to deal with strip malls replacing a stroll down 9th ave or cps.. bling bling

Something that evaded the intellectual capacity of some " professionals"

Last time i rented in Manhattan was 1981 - 1985. Rent was 650/mos (525sf West Village co-op) when I started and 675 when i finished. Landlord told me that she only increased the rent once nominally because I paid on time; never complained; and the builing had no issues with me. I think the rent went up 8 - 10% when I moved

"Last time i rented in Manhattan was 1981 - 1985."

Different world, that's gone with the wind.

There is still a monetary value to not turning over a tenant. No one is going to give away anything; no one ever did. They do, however, figure the cost of flipping the unit into a decision to renew someone at less (not tons less) than market rate. It's good business

Funny, a concept that is too difficult for both RENY and mastonjones to grasp.

JuiceMan daddy-O,
Glad all is well with you and yours.

Falco my friend, you still hanging around these parts?

Brooksie: Hang in there, prices are going down to $200 psft. LOL!!

In the mean time enjoy the Bronx!

RealEstateNy:

1. I doubt that Brooks2 is living in the Bronx

2. given the amount of time he posts here, and the speed with which he posts,
he might be living on Rikers Island, in a room with a great river view

Rikers is part of NY County whereas I believe the floating barge goes with the Bronx. Kylewest might know.

is it just me or the real estate market is really on fire? I looked at the market 5 months ago and since then I feel the prices have gone up considerably. My friend told me that he sold his place just last year and now that he is willing to buy again he feels the prices have priced him out. upper east side, 2/2 condo are higher by $100k-200k now then few months ago? Is that true?

Steve's purchase will be in great shape once sinkholes start reducing florida's inventory.

RealEstateNY + rb345: (*snicker*)
