Homes That Sold for Around $1.5 Million
2021-06-27
[NYT via DNYUZ] Each week, our survey of recent residential sales in New York City and the surrounding region focuses on homes that sold around a certain price point, allowing you to compare single-family homes, condos and co-ops in different locales.

The "list price" is the asking price when the property came on the market with the most recent broker. The time on the market is measured from the most recent listing to the closing date of the sale.

#3  I heard on the radio the other day that the usual suspects, speculators, have shifting into property. Buying it like stocks. No intentions of living there. Not even flipping in the quick repair/upgrade sense. It'll collapse like they all do and we'll be stuck with paying for it one way or another.

#2  The land prices locally are insane: Everybody is Buying and Nobody is selling. We (finally) called a Realtor at 0900 and had two (2) firm offers by Noon.

How much of this is "inflation hedging"?
