Comments on: L is for Livable soon enough; L Haus sales office to open in September http://www.liqcity.com/new-development/l-is-for-livable-soon-enough-l-haus-sales-office-to-open-in-september A Blog About Life and Real Estate in Long Island City, Queens, NYC Fri, 10 Feb 2012 15:16:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Anonymous http://www.liqcity.com/new-development/l-is-for-livable-soon-enough-l-haus-sales-office-to-open-in-september/comment-page-1#comment-9614 Anonymous Mon, 18 Aug 2008 21:34:24 +0000 http://www.liqcity.com/?p=707#comment-9614 #11 asks a great question that seems to have been ignored. perhaps because many of the posters are brokers? There might be some truth to the fact that the stagnated sales and also prices has something to do with great misinformation about the market.... I too have noticed that prices haven't really dropped at all... but everyday there's an announcement of another condo building so it does indicate huge possibility for a glut. the dreaded word yes sorry, but look what happened in miami, major speculation and all the condos hit around the same time. no one could flip because market was flooded with inventory. #11 asks a great question that seems to have been ignored. perhaps because many of the posters are brokers?

It depends on how much nicer the apartments are. HV is a little cookie cutter, and L haus seems to have a more interesting building. We'll see when it launches. Windows are a bit disappointing though. #15 Hunters View broker perhaps? It depends on how much nicer the apartments are.

It's very hard to judge until you see floorplans and finishes. The NW corner high floors will sell first if released- nice corner windows, views, etc...

I didn't know it meant "write something here ONLY if it's praises the subject." If you didn't want us to express our opinions than why have a comment section? Oh wait... This it the USA where we're allowed to express our opinions. #8 - You must have forgotten where you are. This isn't China where free thought is discourage. I don't mind the larger buildings. I actually think they have their place. The more development that goes up is a good thing. It means it'll bring real estate prices down. Supply and demand theory. If units aren't selling... that means prices need/should come down. This is basic economics. Apparently real estate sales have gone stagnant in the area. But prices aren't coming down. What's up with that? Greedy agents that aren't tell their sponsors the truth of what's happening with the market. This is just my theory. I'm trying to understand the market and need to rationalize the situation. I thought a comment section meant you were supposed to express your opinion on the matter.

The other stuff takes time to move. The reason why the first 50% goes fast is because they represent the most reasonably priced units or most desirable units. The other stuff takes time to move.

This is, by definition, a "real estate" blog. Go start a "I hate real estate" blog, Brandon you can be the hateful leader, probably make a few bucks off of it too.

Better have some sort of air filtration system for all the cars emmissions. I doubt it will sell fast. Hunter's Point Condos seem to be having a hard time selling their units. It's been 50% sold out for over a year now, without change. But watch... They're going to "say" they're 50% sold out the first month of opening their sales office.

Also, that must be photoshopped... the River looks far too close, with no land or other buildings in the foreground? Why do these developers need to be so deceptive in their tactics?
