By Anthony Longo 10 01 2007Inman NYC 2007 was awesome…but not as awesome as the people we met!
The 3 most important things for healthy real estate market in 2007 is: Interest Rates, Inventory & Buyer Psychology.

2 THUMBS UP FOR INMAN NYC 2007
PS - Did anyone find out how many homes sold in the U.S. in 1982. We guessed 474,501.
PSS - 20 Pine, SHVO’s Armani/Casa new condo development downtown is spectacular…as well as the party was too !
PSSS - Case solved by Sellsius on the Trump scandal - it was set up by my lead engineer Matt Busby (Rosie came on the market soon after as our Vice President of Market Development East Coast - Matt Stutz jumped on the MyBlogLog list.
Mr Inman says it was 1.9 million sales, in 1980. 30-year fixed-rate mortgage loans were at 18%.
Wow…1.9 i guess a tiny #…but may have thought it would be smaller! How many again in 2006 - 6.7M?
Yes, 6.7 million, I think includes all single family homes and condominiums (not multi-families, though).
But, I bought and sold twice this year, so take that into account.
(I needed the commissions.)
1 billion condos in 3052 — Get ready!!
jh
ps — hey, how come the US Condo Exchange team didn’t make the list!!
I considered you guys old friend…or good friends
adding you right now!
We love you, too.
jh
ps — you had me going today…an ounce of prevention….
haha - just friend condo jokes!
You guys were great fun to be around. We spent a lot of time on Skype before but it paled in comparison to doing Inman together.
PS Remember guys, what happens at Inman stays at Inman
BEEP! BEEP!
