Well, and in the spirit of this forum. Which I think will probably not move Manhattan real estate prices. I would suggest to you, brother.

Wait.

You are very likely to be able to buy cheaper six or twelve months from now than today. Pay taxable rent in the meantime.

I hope you are not the lead bidder for my condo. <gg>

Mike,

OT

I am in the market to buy im hopping for a collapse!

I was hoping as well. I was encouraged last October during the mini collapse, but the real estate prices just continued to go up, so I bought, since I coudn't wait any longer.

" I think that New York Real estate over the long haul will weaken a little but I think that there is just not enough new units coming to market."

Overheard at the gym (west-side Manhattan): him: "...yeah, I'm at Merrill and I was told no bonuses this 1/4, next 1/4 or even in the spring." she: "I'd like to do IPOs but they're just dead."

Conclusion: this bear hangs around another quarter or so and there'll be enough 20-something investment banker real estate around to flood the market. And what will happen to employment in the ancillary industries that service Wall St.?
