data: Real Estate in a post Zillow World - 03/11/13 09:59 PM
One of the first blogs I wrote back in 2006 was titled Real Estate in a Post Zillow World after viewing a presentation by Marc David from Onboard LLC a Wall Street based data collector specializing in real estate data. The presentation was titled Real Estate in a post zillow world. It was quite interesting.
He started the presentation the day zillow went on line the real estate industry changed. Homegain's stock tanked. It is about circle of trust, immediate results to queries with no strings attached even if their information is inaccurate that is what the consumer wants. Interlopers from … (29 comments)

data: "Real estate is local" Gary Shilling Knows Nothing - 09/19/12 10:21 PM
A broken clock gets the time right twice a day...
Gary Shilling, a broken record has never been right.
This week the media had numerous articles about the "so-called" famous economist Gary Shilling not ready to call the national housing market a bottom yet. In fact, he expects prices to drop another 20 percent from here and doesn't think we will see a bottom in the market for another several years.
Is Gary a day late and a dollar short?  HA
Doeas anyone care what he thinks? Is there really a national housing market?
I can't speak for other markets but … (10 comments)

data: Selling Real Estate is an Art not a Science - 12/08/06 10:09 AM
Manhattan real estate has always been different. Over the years REALTOR® friends and colleagues from other parts of the country have been very sympathetic toward how we do business in Manhattan. They would say: "You have it so hard", "how can you make a living? " No dominant MLS, coops, coop boards, board interviews, buyer's financial statements, building financials, only attorney's can write contracts, accepted offers that don't mean anything, How do you do it"?

data: NYC Coop Law brings Manhattan Real Estate into the 21st Century - 08/11/06 05:51 PM
There have been lots of blogs and press about ACRIS Automated City Record Information System displaying coop sales records online. Everything from secret plan for the city and state to impose mortgage taxes from appraiser [MillerSamuel] to Jerry Seinfelds signature on a UCC- form. [Gawker]
