The year was 1952 and I had just come from a hitch-hiking vacation in Ireland. Returning to London, with a rucksack on my back, and wearing scruffy boots, I went straight to the Dorchester and asked for a room. After registering I was turned over to a flunkie in formal attire and tailcoat who greeted me with appropriate servility and aplomb and then escorted up to one of the suites on the top floor where I had a deliciously hot bath and restful night. Of course the dollar was king then but I suspect part of it was that I was viewed as an rich eccentric of the kind often welcomed in the UK. Those were indeed the days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-8476828950741305212009-02-11T11:44:00.000-08:002009-02-11T11:44:00.000-08:00The "hideaway" in Martha's Vineyard has a public a...The "hideaway" in Martha's Vineyard has a public address listed under the father's name and a public telephone number the last I saw and is located on one of the island's main roads.

Now if Jake were buying it on his own (or with someone else not Reese) THAT I might believe. <BR/><BR/>As someone said for starters it is far too exposed and any time a big star or celeb is in London they're "buying properties" there. These stories are just that, stories, designed to make people look as if they're committed and are probably put out by some PR man on behalf of the actors involved. It's a load of baloney.

Been around enough sites to know about the haters like you.<BR/><BR/>We haven't seen the bottom of the real estate market, in general, but obviously, some places will drop less then others. NYC and LA prices are falling, but they are still way higher then the rest of the country. Some areas will rebound sooner then others, too. If there is a sustainable economic base. Credit will flow,but more a trickle then a stream, and high end lenders will still be able to cobble together financing. It is the middle class who will continue to bleed. <BR/><BR/>So if you're a seller in LA with a house worth $8M and you're listing it for $10M, you will probably end up unloading it for$5M. And it will take a lot longer. But if you sell property worth $23 M for $30M you'll probably break even.<BR/>The market is flatlining right now while people wait and see what happens in Washington.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-67682047921326129152009-02-10T08:26:00.000-08:002009-02-10T08:26:00.000-08:00I'm not one to agree with Average Joe and his sky ...I'm not one to agree with Average Joe and his sky is falling rhetoric because like many of you I find him sort of annoying.<BR/><BR/>But to pretend the real estate market is not suffering a major hit is just living in a state of conscious denial.<BR/><BR/>Unemployment is skyrocketing. Companies are laying off huge numbers of people EVERY DAY. Wall Street has lost nearly half it's value and remains in turmoil. The credit markets are locked up. Foreclosures continue to increase. Economies around the world are suffering. You have the US government scrambling to inject the economy with a trillion dollars and some of you think that real estate in LA (or wherever) is immune? Or you think that what we're seeing in prices is simply "one or two properties that were ridiculously over-priced coming down to reality?" Are you kidding? <BR/><BR/>It's simply an economic impossibility that real estate will not take the sort of hit the rest of the economy is taking. <BR/><BR/>Which is why when you go around to open houses in LA like I do that many of the real estate agents look like a deer caught in the headlights. I'm not dogging agents out, but if anyone thinks that (many) real estate agents are not freaking out about the state of things, well, you're probably a real estate agent who does not want your friends and clients to know that you're about $15,000 from broke.<BR/><BR/>Some agents are doing well...they are. I know that. I even know a couple of agents that are doing well. But most are not, and to pretend otherwise is simply pretending otherwise.<BR/><BR/>Also, the recent numbers from the Calif. Assoc. of Realtors shows that although sales activity is up, more than 50% of the transactions are short sales and foreclosures. <BR/><BR/>Sales (in CA) increased in Dec. by a good margin, but the median home price in CA fell 41.5%. That dismal number is from the Cal. Assoc. of Realtors, an organization that represents Realtors and who typically puts a good spin on things.<BR/><BR/>Let's get real. Those numbers do not reflect just one or two over priced properties getting realistic, they show a market with very, very sharp declines in (perceived) value.<BR/><BR/>I'm not being doom and gloomish, I'm just stating an economic reality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-81583890327670259682009-02-10T07:20:00.000-08:002009-02-10T07:20:00.000-08:00AVERAGE JOE is correct what he says - proprty pric...AVERAGE JOE is correct what he says - proprty prices will collapse 80-90%.
