chasing the market down: our favorite price choppers

how does that work by the way? I mean both things - how do you get involuntarily committed? An how do you choose to be voluntarily committed - what do you tell them or do you just have to pay enough?

On the involuntary side, can your husband just do it, or is a court order needed or something?

Slow summer... been a little bored. I am a RE junky and quite frankly, this site is pretty educational as well as entertaining. I'd have to admit that this site would be very boring w/out you. I have laughed out loud at some of the stuff you post. My wife thinks I am getting addicted to this site.

and the Giants S$ched so bad I can't waste my time watching them loose to the skins

Remember, you grew up with a lot of older brothers, so you know how to pretend you are "one of the guys".

ok, I'll try to keep that in mind

but you are way off base

So you are calling ph41 a liar?

not a liar, Just wrong. I either have not seen or don't remember any of his posts. Maybe he never posted anything that I thought was entertaining or educational.. I really don't like wasting my time. If I am not learning or being entertained from postings, I am not paying too much attention to them.

since I do learn from this site, I also like to contribute.

>any of his posts

clever, pretend you don't know ph41's gender.

i don't. So Let's move on. You can believe what ever you want to believe. I really don't care.

Do I bore you?

your choice. The Blue pill or the Red pill--

Do I bore you?

Nope

You revolt me.

ok- Back to educational -- another great price drop!
Great example of a RE broker that knows the market

ok - enough for tonight-- have both Dez Bryant and Jason Witten on my fantasy team-- have the Jets D too-- is that a god hedge? rhetorical- (it's like involuntary committing myself!! got to go!

I wish ar was back.
Most gifted comper this side of anywhere.
Brilliant insights and thoughtful response.
I have appealed to her personally to come back.
So far .....no

I also miss Alan
Excelsior my brother

falcogold, why did Aboutready quit Brick Underground? I'm sure if she worked extra hard during the other 26 weeks, they'd let her take the vacation she needed.

Oh come on Falco - you know AR is back already under different names. And fairly soon, when she deals with her wounded pride, she'll be back, grayed out, but back, under her own handle.

I've sort of looked at it as the graying out of the "Gang of Four" of SE.(which is nowhere near as drastic as the fates of the Chinese Gang of Four).

You know, in the past few years, we haven't seen much of the Falun Gong.

Falco: Absolutely concur. Come back Alan and AR. AR, we need your comps. No one does it better.

Is PH41 better thant APT23?

only 20% down from original list px, but who knows the closing-- and come on-- setting a realistic px could not have been hard in this one.

Brooks2:

Re. 255 West 84th - While that's a notable sale - at least for other apartments in the Alameda - 11 weeks from listing to contract seems fine. The initial ask was defensible, based on several recent comps in the "E" line. Ms. Davis may have underestimated the condition discount needed to sell #11E, or maybe it just took a while for the sellers to come to grips with a 30%+ discount off renovated comps. In any case, the listing found its clearing price and sold pretty quickly. So I don't see much to criticize in the broker's performance.

Re. 221 West 82nd - That was one for the history books, and was discussed extensively at the time. On the other hand, if you had to go back to 2009 to find a notable chopper in prime UWS, you might inadvertantly be making the other side's argument for them.

Regarding the last two renderings: If these two places could sell with 4000K maint and another just an ugly unit, then there must be some hope. I am really surprised anyone bought either of these.

what do they rent for??

The point is they were Waayy over priced listings-- as usual most RE are not able to properly advise their clients on listing Price.

your point was clear--my point was to question whether these apts would rent for much more than their nauseatingly hi maintenance

not you Wbotts was referring to Mr. Bill

As it relates to 74 St. - an almost identical apartment (higher floor, sponsor unit) is listed at $540,000. Maintenance is $1218 plus a monthly assessment of $250.83 - all for a non doorman building. Any guess on where this will end up being "chopped"?

site unseen, hard to spec, but with that maint and non doorman I'd def say under $400k.. but waut it might depend on how close iit is to Fairway or Citarella.. Hah!

$400000 would be a 35% drop - that's not chopped, it is minced!

Here's a 40% drop on the UES, which I still think is overpriced even after the recent price cut. It has an odd layout (since it's a combo) with no dining room in a building with few similar apts. of that size/caliber.

I am not sure why anyone would find this transaction to be a waste of the client's time... It all seems rather smooth to me, with steady price adjustments, and the pricing seems more than fair for that bldg. In fact, I find it impressive that a somewhat midiocre cookie-cutter like this unit with wall-to-wall carpeting, no less, sold in a year at this price point...in this climate.

Besides, the pricing isn't entirely up to the "salesperson."

I have to agree somewhat with Clintonbuyer. The seller of 2A did great if it sold for anywhere near 2.4 mil. This classic 6 on a higher floor sold for 2.5 mil http://streeteasy.com/nyc/sale/536315-coop-785-fifth-avenue-lenox-hill-new-york. Now 7E does need renovation but still the sellers of 2E should be quite pleased.

they offered it for 3.75mm . that is ridiculous and a waste of time. how much did the buyer loose in carry all those months. if they price it right in the fist place they would have saved money!

but I guess Clintonbuyer still thinks things are going up 20-30%

27% at the Majestic.. First offer was absurd however and likely dictated by the seller.

Walterh - real shame to have that view from your bedroom only but have the living space face a brick wall. And what's with all the tile?

Right, way too much tile. I notice that the add says "terrace" and I don't see that in the floorplan. I also see that after 243 days on the market, there are only 10 users who saved this listing. I say, redo the add, drop the price lower and start over.

A picture of the "Gates"? Really? That is soooo JDate circa 2005.

What am I missing here? Feature it on SE and you will be able to sell it for $400k more. does it cost that much to advertise on SE?

Walter
The Majestic is a hoot!
Look at those pictures!
I've herd of coming out of the closet...
but building one in the sky!
One for the books
Bath house chic

"The Gates" made me feel like an extra on a monotone set in historical China.

Only thing worse was when NYC decided to copy Chicago with painted cows.It would have been bad enough if we painted apples, but EXACTLY what Chicago did and did first.....pathetic.

After 433 days on the market, and cutting the price by 24%-- wtf raise it 7% to see if anyones paying attention...

good luuuck

>but I guess Clintonbuyer still thinks things are going up 20-30%

I suppose this doesn't require a reply, but I thought I'd just state that brooks2 must be developmentally delayed. I stated, and provided evidence (w/ addresses/unit numbers), that the units I have been trying to purchase have gone up by 20 to 30%. I have never stated that NYC RE was up by 20 to 30%--EVER.

But s/he is going around, like a psychologically disturbed person, misquoting me and ignoring the evidence I have provied. But, then, brooks2 appears to "live" on this board and the only pleasure s/he gets out of life, ostensibly, is to find RE bargains--so I suppose I shouldn't take that away from him/her.

Keep up the great work, brooks2!!!

Clinton - if you've been on SE for a while, it becomes ever more apparent that "Brooks2" is AR (aboutready) posting under a new (ungrayed) name.

ClintonBuyer but I guess Clintonbuyer still thinks things are going up 20-30%

wow East End Avenue and Sutton Place have really turned into the New York version of Anastasia & Drizella.

Go figure?

I know. I really wish people would accept that areas like Sutton, Beekman, far west in the 30's, etc. will see this kind of paradigm.

I'm waiting for lots of posts about desirably located, well layed out apartments in good quality (NON LAND LEASE PLEASE!) buildings with nice light/views in good condition with reasonable maintenance/taxes/common charges - those are the big time price choppers I'd like to see more of.

Where are all those?
