Is NYC’s Real Estate Bubble Cracking?

I read the NY Times article this weekend “Worrisome Pileup of $100 Million Homes” and wondered if the problem was real (or how real). After watching the “The Big Short,” how could you not?   Interestingly, the number of advertisers marketing real estate has declined a statistically significant amount in the first four months of the year – online and in print. The dip is most pronounced in NYC and also especially strong with firms selling the most expensive listings.  For example, here in NYC the number of real estate advertisers in magazines, newspapers, and online are all down around the same, 10-12%.  Major firm advertising is down 26%+ YTD through April.  Advertising in the broader tri-state (New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut) market was also down, but much less, just 4-7%.

MediaRadar’s CEO– from past to present: get to know Todd Krizelman

Before Kevin Systrom and Mark Zuckerberg, there was Todd Krizelman, one of the youngest Internet sensations of the first dot com boom.

TheGlobe.com allowed users to engage with one another through chat and games, while also being able to publish their own web pages. On its first day going public, shares flew from $9 to $97!
