Things still look great to me in NYC. Restaurants packed, high end luxury stores filled with shoppers, bentleys and RR's parked on the street, can't get a table at cipriani's..... out my window, fifth ave is packed--what can i say?
I am not directly in the residential Real Estate business in NYC, however, I know rents have not come down much anywhere except the financial district. I hope rent comes down!

I think the reality of the situation is just starting to sink in. Overpaying for an apartment is a tough pill to swallow .
Alot of the noob buyers are hoping (and praying) that this problem will resolve itself quickly.
Sorry kids, not gonna happen.
Many of those people should've been renting, in the first place, but real estate brokers sold them on the idea that they were "making an investment."
Hmm. That was not my interpretation of your initial reference:Quote from marketsurfer:
yes, finished making long term calls with a capital F.
i am not telling nor advising anyone to trade my calls.

Surely you can see why I may have interpreted your earlier comment to mean something other than merely being finished making long-term calls. The "capital F" followed by the "no risk, no reward" comment led me to believe it was more of an all-or-nothing, do-or-die type of thing thing.
