I’m not a true player. Never said I was. I’m not valued at 300+ million. Not even close to that. I don’t own a yaght or any boats for that matter. I don’t have full time maids and house help. I don’t pretend to be a big fish. Especially not here in manhattan.

but me and my wife are retired. She actually retired 3 months after we got married. We enjoy our daughter.

Forget about a rolls I have to drive a Seabring when I go see my supers and other tennants for the monthly rent. I can’t show up to collect rent in a Benz. When we are invited to local community ethic parties I rent a Jeep or something like that so that I can blend in the conversation and complain about gas prices. I have to act like I have a lot less than I actually do.

I’m not a flassher or a player or a pimp you guys think i am.

Enough said.

My boss has a Rolls and a driver, and that really is how the true players roll. That care is sweet as they come. It’s pretty amusing to me to get dropped off at my apartment in Hoboken in a Rolls with a driver who opens the door for me.

Perhaps Clot can advise us if he is “seeing houses “fly off the shelf”.

JB, Just one of my periodic thanks for running a great site.

I think the main page has to be one of the two or three best regional RE sites on the web, and the comment section is unrivaled.

While you have fast and interesting discussions on economic and housing reports, I can’t imagine there’s another site on the net where you can have financial geniuses who have made millions (millions, I tell ya) explain the advantages of leasing a car over buying it.

I must say, Chifi has shown extraordinary restraint in his dealings with this crew.

I can’t believe you too owned an Opel Manta. Mine was purple. I loved that car. I was forced off Route 22 in a snowstorm by a truck, and it would have cost me too much to repair it.

That car, my Gremlin and my Datsun B210 were all like children to me, I miss them even now.

I don’t want to hear anyone badmouthing the Gremlin. That thing was awesome.

I know someone with a Maybach. Union guy. Payed cash.
When he walked into the dealership and asked to test drive it, the salesman refused telling him he couldn’t afford it.
Lost his job of course.

How high is the inventory number?

Unless its a big town, I’m wondering in the change is statistically significant.
