Since Lehman, NYC Sales Slow Down Buyers Make Low Offers with 2009 Market in Mind

NYC Tax Rebate: Tell Mayor to Keep His Holiday Gift

Overpriced Property = Antidotum to Selling Real Estate
(post by BT) Ugh, AGENTS, STOP MISLEADING YOUR CLIENTS ON PRICING! I’ve had enough of this crap! This guy has a 2-family house worth about $650,000.
