Prices Stabilize, But Housing Trouble Still Looms [Forbes] Home prices in 20 major cities tumbled an average of 18.1% in the last 12 months, off 33% from their 2006 peak, according to the Standard & [...]
OK, still getting caught up here. This is a house we saw two weeks ago. Apropos of nothing in particular, every wall was covered in nautical-themed items; anchors, oars, ropes, ships, sea scapes, you name it. I know that Babylon is a shore town, but you need to show a little restraint. 31 Greenway S. [...]
We saw these houses almost a month ago, way back on My 31st. This just goes to show you what a damn slacker I’ve been. I’ve got another old open house — 31 Greenway — to write up and we’re going to see some houses this weekend, so I hope to have more content for [...]

Houses that are of interest to us continue to be pretty thin on the ground so we set out on a rainy Sunday afternoon to see this one. There were a good number of people there when we arrived at about 1:30 PM. I’m still surprised that nobody has ever come up to me and [...]

NY Area Home Prices Down 10.2% in February [NorthJersey.Com] Home prices declined 10.2 percent in the New York metropolitan area, which includes North Jersey, from February 2008 to February 2009, the Standard & Poor’s Case-Shiller index said this morning.

This past Saturday was really beautiful and it was nice to go out and hit some open houses. As I mentioned earlier, there were 36 listed for the Village on MLSLI, although not all of them were for this past weekend. We saw two houses, one very attractive and one…well…not. It was a Goofus and [...]
I had lunch with my friend and business associate Julian on Tuesday. It was my day home with the baby so we took her along with us and ate in the Village at Horace and Sylvia’s. Julian couldn’t stop raving about how nice all the stores and restaurants along Deer Park Avenue were and what [...]
