From the Star Ledger:
Timing was key in sale of N.J. home for $205K over asking price
Location may be the key word in real estate but, like anything else, timing can also make a difference.
A house in Closter that hit the market in May just closed for $205,000 over its asking price. And the listing agent, Risa Corson of Coldwell Banker Realty, says the “timing was crucial.”
The sellers initially wanted to wait until August to list, but Corson convinced them to list sooner and write into their terms that they couldn’t close until August, when their new out-of-state home would be finished.
“We have a very strong school system, we’re close to New York City and a lot of people want to move to town for the schools and proximity,” said Corson, a 19-year Closter resident herself. “I knew we’d have a better pool of buyers in May than if we waited until the end of summer.”
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom home was listed for $995,000 and sold for $1.2 million. “The house needed some updates but it was well maintained,” Corson said. “It’s on a cul-de-sac.”
There were 40 showings in four days and two offers were made by the second day. The sellers cancelled a weekend open house and asked for highest and best offers on the fifth day. At that point they already had an offer for $1.1 million.
“There was very little on the market in that price range at that time,” Corson said. “I knew given the low Inventory, the time of year and interest rate concerns that time was of the essence.”
A total of 12 offers, all over asking price, were submitted.
Corson sold a house two doors down in November. That one was listed for $999,000 and sold for $1.1 million.
“I even was a little shocked myself (the more recent listing) went that much over asking,” she said.

The NAR has more members than homes for sale. Dues are in January, and will see a big drop in Realtors when the MLS and NAR Dues come in January.

The new normal. Get your precision locking wing divider compass out and draw a 30 mile radius around mid town Manhattan. Expect multiple offers within 24 hours. We’re at Palo Alto price levels. For first time buyers, may I suggest looking in the Cobleskill, NY area?
Fast: Big fat mortgage payment on that one, assuming they do 20 down and finance. Of course they may have paid cash too, who knows. It’s insanity.
The NAR has more members than homes for sale.
Well ain’t that a kick in the ass.
Really though, there is a whole industry making money off of new agent training and licensing, and most of the big brokerages don’t mind having unpaid lead-gen contractors on staff, and they’ll gladly push down fees to the agent level. MLS gets paid their licensing, publishers still sell the books, testing industry still gets paid their test fees. Industry makes money, even though many individual agents may not (and likely find themselves negative for the year).
No worries though, at least the BMW is still a write off..

I would expect Realtors to get downright nasty and contact house owners directly for a free evaluation. I’ve had one that’s done it back in May, invited her over to take a look just to see a reaction, not even to offer a ballpark price. She was very nice, sort of chill so that was good. My point is, as a realtor in a very small market… where are you? Why aren’t you contacting me? Why isn’t there an email or phone call? Not even a flyer in the mail?
A while back you said to have a mice infestation in your basement. You need to fix that first.

Between 2006 and 2012 NAR membership dropped about 30% to just under a million by 2012. The current number is a record at 1,566,354 as of July this year.
Low transaction volume mean allot of people will not pay their dues, and move onto another career.
59,685 NAR members in New Jersey currently. So about 18,000 should be hitting the bricks soon.

First smart move he’s done. Let wealthy NYers keep fleeing here along with their cash.
Democrat’s words are symbolic. When it comes to real action with real people in a real crisis, they’ll scurry like vermin and swim with the tide. They’re the first to the exits when someone yells fire. Those poor people at the border, we need to show compassion. We’re sanctuary status until it becomes our problem. Vote for us, we’ll promise you ‘free’ food, warmth and shelter… until we run out of other people’s money and resources. The latter part of that sentence is forbidden in democrat campaigns but whispered behind closed doors.

This is nothing sentence if there ever was one. I’d be embarrassed to post this without cringing. But, it does sound like a president with dementia on top of a low IQ so I get it… sort of.
Making More in America.
Another nothing sentence. It would earn a ‘D’ on a report card with the most compassionate teacher. If that ‘accomplishment’ was listed on a resume, it would find the trash bin faster than a democrat spending other people’s money.
Rebuilding our Infrastructure.
Nothing built, nothing back, nothing better.

Eddie, Great job. But EX EX has blinders on and he is stoned 95% of the time.
You will never find a winner in an achievement vs. achievement comparison. Especially if you choose to leave out the negatives of each administration.
Leaving biases aside (which I know is hard for you wonks to comprehend since it’s not possible for you guys to do such a thing):
Trump lowered the corporate tax rate and made temporary incentives to repatriate profits which created a corporate windfall. Unfortunately, it resulted in a tremendous increase in the federal deficit since Trump took what was necessary to balance the government’s balance sheet and gave it back to the corporations. Theoretically, and this mistake (or excuse) is made over and over again with every Republican administration, corporate profits would trickle down to the entire economy generating so much corporate revenue that the lower tax rate would not negatively impact the government’s balance sheet. It never worked in the past. It will never work in the future. On the bright side, the upper class benefitted greatly. And while the economy exploded upwards initially, as there was so much extra money floating around, Trump decided to lambaste the FED into lowering interest rates instead of raising them. These two actions would certainly create a more economically difficult future. Then Trump decided to give out Covid stimulus to the majority of taxpayers when only a minority (mostly poor restaurant workers) were negatively impacted by covid. The rich were paid through PPP. Boom, the trigger for the worst inflation the country has experienced since the 80s was pulled. And instead of having interest rates already raised which would have helped stem inflation; Trump made it where the increases had to start from zero instead of where the FED had wanted them, many points higher. Again, the drastic increase in interest rates hurt the poor as the rich don’t use credit when the rates are high. This mess is what Biden inherited.
Of course, Biden’s administration did what every Dem administration has done since Bill stupped the intern. They spend and spend and spend, mainly on ‘green’ initiatives which are wholly owned by their major campaign contributors. Bill and Obama actually left the White House either with a balanced budget or a near balanced budget. You can’t say that for any Republican. You also can’t say that for Biden’s first term. As for infrastructure. Most of the blue states are much older than the red states. Whoever is in power gets the infrastructure. Whether it be a bridge to nowhere or another Amtrak tube under the Hudson.
Conclusion: They are all the same.
Another O’Biden accomplishment:
“(CNN) North Korean leader Kim Jong Un may travel to Russia to meet President Vladimir Putin for discussions on a potential deal to supply Moscow with weapons for its war on Ukraine, according to the US government.
The National Security Council warned Monday that arms negotiations between Russia and North Korea are “actively advancing,” after Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu visited Pyongyang in July in an attempt to convince it to sell artillery ammunition to Moscow.
“We have information that Kim Jong Un expects these discussions to continue, to include leader-level diplomatic engagement in Russia,” the council’s spokesperson, Adrienne Watson, said in a statement.”
“Let me know what the delta is for the number of jobs lost during the pandemic and the job recovery number. Find it and post it.”
Here’s a graph that shows it:
https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/full-time-employment
Pre-pandemic peak was about 132 million vs about 134.5 mil today.
Of course, it’s not hard to beat Trump’s job creation record- he was the first president since Hoover to preside over a reduction in the number of US jobs…
I’d rather be STONED than STUPID.
ARM valuation anyone 54 Billion? Totally fabless semiconductor company, they make nothing but chip designs and revenues via per-unit royalty. 5,800 employees with a rumored 1 lawyer for every 2 engineers staffing. They also cannot sell designs to the Chinese, but that is not going to stop China anyway.
Of course, it’s not hard to beat Trump’s job creation record- he was the first president since Hoover to preside over a reduction in the number of US jobs…
…because China unleashed a global pandemic not experienced in 100 years. There, I completed it for you.
2.5 Million jobs / 31 months = 80,645 jobs per month. Wow, awesome job, Joe! (cough…)
You guys are like shooting fish in a fucking barrel.
Another Proud Boy sentenced to
27-33 years.
Then there’s this:
Last week, filings in an attempt to resolve the case without trial showed prosecutors’ contention that annually between 2011 and 2021 Trump inflated his net worth by between $812m and $2.2bn.
HAPPENING NOW:
Judge Kelly has applied the terrorism enhancement to Enrique Tarrio’s upcoming sentence. Parties are still working through the guidelines.
Truth Social: https://youtu.be/monyiOsoKxg?si=72Fs9gQlsZ-crZTB
Trump:
9 million jobs / 36 months (pre-pandemic) = 250,000 jobs per month. Without the pandemic, we’re looking at 12,000,000 jobs created under Trump in four years.
Biden #1 job right now is to be worried about further escalation. North Korea is more than just a potential deal to supply Moscow with weapons for its war on Ukraine. It’s over 550 days now and they need both weapons and manpower.
Twitter rumors say Russia is now drafting another 200,000 by November 1st and they may even cut a deal to get 50,000 North Korean soldiers to show up on the Ukraine front lines as well. We know Putin could arm them with ICBMs that actually work. Whatever the deal is it won’t be cheap. Oil which North Korea desperately needs, grains, and well ICBMs. Russia is retiring a lot of old ones now, easy peasy to ship them to North Korea, notwithstanding the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaties which were originally signed by the Soviets.
Scientists say we are close to Doomsday because of this war, not since the Cuban Missle crisis has it been this close. I am not so certain if something happens it can or will be de-escalated.
The Media went wild with Trump as President, all kinds of stories that said he was going to start WWIII. We don’t get even a peep from the media about the current administration.

“Without the pandemic, we’re looking at 12,000,000 jobs created under Trump in four years.”
But there was a pandemic, right? And that’s the reality we all live in, right?
The fact is, both Trump and Biden have had to deal with the pandemic (and for Biden, the aftermath too). Presidents have to play the cards they are dealt.
Biden has played his bad cards much better than Trump did.
“We know Putin could arm them with ICBMs that actually work. ”
I don’t think Russia’s new best buddy and main trading partner- China- would be too enthusiastic about that.
The Chinese don’t really relish the idea of a crazy dictator on their border starting a nuclear war with the US.

The officer in the footage has not been identified, and it’s not clear when the video was taken.
A group of men can be heard in the background speaking Spanish as they judge the scene.
One says: ‘Look! Look! He’s taking her to the car!’
Another adds: ‘He’s an animal, the bald cop!’
Something big got splattered in the middle of the board bw 2:45 – 3:15. Need some heavy duty bug remover.
Not sure which stooge deserves today’s ‘Baghdad Bob award’ more, Ex for claiming that SlowJoe lowered expenses for families, or OC for burying his head in the sand and trying to pretend that the war in Europe that began on Joe’s watch, isn’t really escalating. Let’s call it a tie; they’re both deserving stupid and detached from reality!
Rather a stooge than a splooge.
Oooooffff….Tucker’s show tomorrow expose on Barack Obama drugs and dicks…
I love the fact that turdhead Enrique Tarrio got 22 yrs. That little cuban castro wannabe wanted to make this great country into the chit island he crawled from.
I hope he has a good time in club fed as he seems very confused. Either way 22 yrs will straighten his confused MAGA behind. This Chappelle sketch reminds me of him. https://youtu.be/BLNDqxrUUwQ?si=ZQp9xIQq8ay9lQhJ
