New York is Dead

Quote from GermanTrader:

I bought every one of my homes by lowballing, at the bottom of the market, for each cycle. I bought my Camano Island home for $190,000 when it appraised for $435,000. SOld it in 2005 for $690,000. Lowballing rules. it pisses people off, but who cares, once the home is mine they're gone. Find a desperate seller in the right circumstances and you can rob the guy. Is trading any different?

Nice work. I don't think a lowball bid of 15% below listing is a huge insult. Once in awhile they will hit that bait. Nothing wrong with that.

The gatehouse at the bottom of my driveway is listed at $180k. I was wondering if a 100k offer would totally piss them off or not. :D

Hate to say it, but 15% under listed is a good offer in NYC right now. Most sellers refuse to admit that their place is no longer worth the inflated prices of 2005-2007

Alot of people are taking a beating due to the financial sector mess. The trickle down effect in NYC is massive.

If I was buying there today, I would start at no more than 20% below listed.

Glad you intend to sit tight for 5-7 years, you should be fine.

Comparing that travesty worn by Surf to what they wear might piss them off enough to come over the ocean and confront you.

too damn funny....
 
Quote from Thunderdog:

"Ugly girl?" Here's a little story for you. When I was a little kid, I hated eating vegetables. In order for me to even consider them, they had to be just perfect. Can you see the parallel that I'm trying to draw for you?

I know, I know, it's soooo bad to have standards.

You obviously do not get out much. By NYC standards, that woman is not attractive, she is way far from stunning.

She is a plain Jane regardless of where you are from.
