A perfect example of 'Obama' wanting to spread the wealth around - yes - 'Joe The Plumber' and his new home - a-long with the rest of us - yes - we are all screwed in 2008!
Hi Chris Thanks for your great blog. I am a regular reader and enjoy your opinion on the local market, though my political views are more liberal. Quick question, if you knew someone who was considering selling his house now due to financial problems would you advise them to make it work until the Spring selling season, try to rent his place out now, or just set a low price and get out quickly? Is renting a house (less than $1.5MM in value) a viable strategy in this market or is the rental market as bad as the sale market? Thanks for your input.
I am, after twenty years, a non-practicing lawyer and glad of it. I am the author of The New Millionaire's Handbook (Andrews/Mcmeal 2000, Greenwich Mean Time (2006) and several equally funny (he said) unpublished novels and screenplays. For the past six years or so I've been selling real estate in Greenwich, Ct and, while that wasn't exactly the career I envisioned when I was a starry-eyed law school graduate, it seems to pay the bills far better than lawyering ever did, with no stress. Good deal.
Mostly, you'll find information about Greenwich real estate in this blog but I do have other interests and, because I think what our politicians do can severely affect the economy and real estate values, I often jump the shark. If you don't want to see that ugly sight, please skip to a real estate entry.
Clicking on a picture often makes it larger but it depends on how large that picture started in its initial posting. Anything highlighted should be, and usually is, a link related to the article I'm talking about. Click it and see - it's sort of like an Easter egg hunt. My blogging skills are very much a work in progress.
