LI Market Burnout?

From LI Business News:

LI home prices fall along with sales

The median prices of Long Island homes contracted for sale in July dropped as the number of sales also declined as compared with the previous month.

In Nassau County, the median price of pending home sales fell to $450,000 last month, a 7.2 percent decrease from the $485,000 median price recorded in June, according to a preliminary market report from the Multiple Listing Service of Long Island. The median price of homes contracted for sale in Suffolk County dipped last month as well, but only slightly. Suffolk’s median price of pending sales in July was $345,000, down just 0.06 percent from the $347,000 median price recorded in June.

However, home prices have risen slightly when compared with a year ago. In Nassau the median price of homes contracted for sale in July is up 1.1 percent from the $445,000 median of July 2015. In Suffolk, the median price for pending home sales last month is up 3.9 percent from the $332,000 median recorded in July 2015.

The number of pending Long Island home sales also fell in July, after six straight months of year-over-year gains in 2016. There were 2,576 homes contracted for sale in Nassau and Suffolk counties last month, a drop of nearly 4.5 percent from the 2,696 pending sales recorded in July 2015. Nassau saw the biggest drop in pending sales last month with a 7.5 percent year-over-year decline.

    Man, ain’t it nice to just vote yourself a big fat raise.

    http://www.nj.com/mercer/index.ssf/2016/08/15_pay_raises_possible_for_trentons_mayor_top_offi.html#incart_river_home

    Trenton City Council next month will consider giving double-digit pay raises to themselves, the mayor and the city’s other appointed officials.

    On Thursday, the council is expected to introduce an ordinance that would raise their own salaries as much as 15 percent over the next three years, and raise the salaries of members of the administration by 15.5 percent. The public hearing and final vote is set for Sept. 15.

    The pay increases would be retroactive to Jan. 1.

    Under the measure, by the start of 2018, salaries would increase to $146,061 from $126,460 for Mayor Eric Jackson (15.5 percent); to $133,891 from $115,922 for McEwen (15.5 percent); to $128,332 from $107,231 for Chief of Staff Francis Blanco (19.7 percent); to $117,774 from $101,968 for the municipal judges (15.5 percent); to $129,549 from $112,164 for the chief municipal judge (15.5 percent); to $121,719 from $105,384 for the department directors (15.5 percent); and to $23,000 from $20,000 for council members (15 percent).

    Pumps no where in my post did I say an elite education as you put it was not worth it. No where period. What I said was some people send their kids to these schools in the hopes that their children will travel in the same circles. They won’t for the most part. That was all I said period. As for myself the child of immigrants college grad m b a at night. And I worked for many years at the wall st firm that so many dream about. Very successful there. Ironically these people the product of the elite schools did not care where I went to school. What mattered? I worked hard no my job cold and produced. And I was not a douche. I could have lived almost anywhere in Bergen co but stayed where I first bought a house as my spouse liked it. As for my own children they were not getting into the elite universities and by elite I mean the ivy leagues. So there choice was mom and dad pay for your college in state school if your grades are B or better and you graduate in 4 years. Or you can go to one of the many private colleges that deem themselves to be almost like an ivy. No such thing by the way. And you can pay the difference yourselves. They took our offer. The result all graduated in 4 years all are employed in their field. One finished their m b a night and weekends. Second will be done in December and the 3rd does not need one for their field. So pumps please stop lecturing me with your juvenile silly posts. When I do post they geared towards the adults on the blog.

    My feel for what will come over the next couple of years is more drifting. No large moves in value up or down, just a drift up or down by a few percent points depending on news and season. Right now I feel a lack of confidence due to concerns over the election. Holidays will hold back any post election bounce until after year end.

    http://www.northjersey.com/news/paterson-avoids-layoffs-with-city-council-approval-of-tax-levy-1.1646305

    The six-week budget battle resulted in the early closing of Paterson’s 36 summer camps and almost forced the city’s municipal pools to shut down. The city is still planning to go ahead with the creation of a night-time traffic detail in the police department, an initiative that officials say will generate an extra $3 million in annual revenue through the issuance of an additional 30,000 tickets per year.

    So keep artificially raising salaries here in the US, add additional burdens on top of existing regulation, and watch as more jobs move to China.

    Who, by the way, will never see actual wage inflation due to currency manipulation. Not to mention the fact that Chinese automation is beginning to surpass American automation, which means lower demand for actual Chinese workers. Less demand, less cost.

Chris Christie will be attached to Donald Trump’s hip today, as the federal government willingly gives the billionaire blabbermouth his very first classified briefing at the FBI’s New York field office. (Insert shudder here.) Staffers from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), the nation’s top intelligence office, will be outlining confidential major threats and emerging concerns around the world, ABC News reports. Giving such classified information to someone who defines Europe and Asia as bands from the 1980s is a scary move. But at least our governor will be there to prevent what could become the final countdown. Um, right?

  36. What ever happened to “New Jersey Bank”? They used to have their HQ at the PNC Bank building on Garrett Mountain. I think I was less than a year from graduating college and I went there to apply for a student loan with a completed application in hand, I was also a customer. I wanted the loan so I wouldn’t have to bust my butt working to pay for college my last year and figured I could pay the loan off quickly my first year working. They told me to fcuk off because they only gave student loans to customers who banked with them for at least 5 years. That was the one and only time I attempted to get a college loan, so I graduated debt free and absolutely broke.

    Trump Casinos’ Tax Debt Was $30 Million. Then Christie Took Office

    By the time Chris Christie became governor of New Jersey, the state’s auditors and lawyers had been battling for several years to collect long-overdue taxes owed by the casinos founded by his friend Donald J. Trump.

    The total, with interest, had grown to almost $30 million. The state had doggedly pursued the matter through two of the casinos’ bankruptcy cases and even accused the company led by Mr. Trump of filing false reports with state casino regulators about the amount of taxes it had paid.

    But the year after Governor Christie, a Republican, took office, the tone of the litigation shifted. The state entertained settlement offers. And in December 2011, after six years in court, the state agreed to accept just $5 million, roughly 17 cents on the dollar of what auditors said the casinos owed.

    “If Clinton did this, all hell would break loose.”

    But it’s perfectly OK for FOREIGN business leaders, many who are dictators from Khazikstan and Nigeria, to buy favor through the Clinton Foundation. Need Uranium? Make a donation. Need U.S. taxpayer funded aid even though you are a known terrorist? Just buy favor through the Clinton Foundation. Need your customer base to remain secret since they are hiding their wealth in your Swiss bank account? Just make a donation to the Clinton Foundation. If you look at all of the foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation followed up by unusually high amounts paid by foreign business owners (many times three times the normal rate) to hear Slick Willie speak, you will see that Christie’s forgiveness is merely a drop in the bucket compared to the endless corruption that the Clinton’s have committed (some might call it treason) through their foundation. You always rail against greed Pumpkin, but the Clinton’s reek of greed. Even moreso than Trump.

    I listened to Trump’s speech last night in Wisconsin. Though it was rife with propaganda, there was something very interesting that he said that peaked my interest. He mentioned that the policies of the Dems in the last fifty years are what caused the black lives matter movement. He is the first politician I’ve ever witnessed to attribute the continued cycle of poverty in the black community to a continued dependence on social aid. And he’s right. What the BLM movement wants will be equally as effective as dumping more money into the schools in the black community. Absolutely nothing! Handouts are the worst thing you can do to help anyone. Give $5 to a homeless person and he will drink it. Give a homeless person a job and he/she will get back on their feet. It’s a shame that Trump us using so much hatred to fuel his campaign. I really think he actually gets it. This country and the rest of the progressive world could use some bullying after this complete pussification cycle we are mired in. I would keep on ranting, but I have to go by a bottle of elderberry extract before Pumpkin does.

  65. [65] Point 1. Why doesn’t Hillary and her supporters spend more time talking about the great things that the Clinton (crime) Family Foundation and Clinton Global Initiative accomplish? It seems to me like Democrats *avoid* talking about these non-profits like it is the plague. Shouldn’t that be something to be brought up?

    Point 2. I think Trump is going to go after the inner cities like a pit bull. Take your pick, Trenton, Newark, Camden, Detroit, Chicago, …and Milwaukee…all under Democrat rule since before most of us were born. Milwaukee hasn’t had a Republican mayor since 1908. In the inner city is 60 years is almost 5 generations. Maybe Trump is the first brave man to ask, “How is it working for you so far?”

    It’s funny. Trump is completely changing the Republican platform. Did he hijack it? Absolutely. But the change he is bringing is good. Sure traditional Repubs hate to let go of long-held ideals, but it is never easy to embrace change. Regardless of whether he is elected or not, the changes he is making to the Republican Party are completely necessary if they ever want to have a chance of gaining any ground in the traditional blue states. Fear not, Hillary will suck balls as POTUS and the Repubs will have their chance of gaining a lot of power. But not the Republicans of trickle down economics, family values and anti-abortion and neo-con support. If they choose not to embrace a more centric agenda, they will be nowhere closer than they were during Obama’s first election.

    Why can’t Trump secure our borders and build a wall?

    Hillary, Obama and Biden all voted YEA to build a 700 mile wall in 2006.

    SECURE FENCE ACT of 2006, “A bill providing for the construction of seven hundred miles of double fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border.”

    Hillary Clinton YEA
    Joseph Biden YEA
    Barack Obama YEA
