Market Turmoil? I Eat That for Breakfast!
Alright listen up! The stock market's gone wild huh? Dow Jones takes a nosedive tariffs flying around like bullets in a war zone. But what's this I hear? Some fancy pants penthouse in Manhattan listed for $110 MILLION! 'Live for nothing or die for something,' right? Well these folks are living for SOMETHING alright overpriced real estate!
The Rich Don't Bleed… Cash That Is!
Sotheby's lady Nikki Field says market swings don't rattle her buyers. "They're not reacting to headlines or fluctuations," she says. Sounds like a bunch of politicians talkin’ but in the end everyone pays the price. "They're focused on curating world class portfolios." World class portfolios huh? I've seen portfolios made of human skin that were more interesting. These guys are so rich they probably wipe their behinds with hundred dollar bills.
Penthouse 80 AND 82? Double the Trouble!
This ain't no ordinary apartment. It's two penthouses bundled together like some kind of super condo quadplex! Five bedrooms six bathrooms a terrace bigger than my last jungle camp. "Opportunity lies in their architectural potential," Field says. Potential for what? Building a missile silo? I could do more with a Swiss Army knife and a roll of duct tape!
Nine Figure Follies: Publicity Stunt or Serious Sale?
This Jonathan Miller guy says these mega sales used to be publicity stunts. Now they're just… regular stunts for the ultra rich? Eight sales over $100 million in 2024 alone! Seems like these folks got more money than sense. Reminds me of the time I saw a guy trying to pay for a helicopter with Monopoly money. Didn't end well.
Hesitation in High Places? Don't Bet on It!
Some brokers saying buyers are backing out because of uncertainty. Uncertainty? I'll give them uncertainty! One wrong move and they'll be facing a world of hurt they won't walk away from. Realtor.com says the rich are mostly invested in the stock market. Real estate is only a small chunk of their wealth. Guess they haven't learned: 'Nothing is over!' Except maybe their bank accounts eventually.
The Art of the Deal… or the Rip Off?
Kirman in Los Angeles says buyers are cautious sellers are delusional. Price cuts happening in the shadows. Buyers want all cash clean terms and longer inspection windows. Sounds like they're preparing for war. 'They're negotiating harder for price furnishings and closing flexibility.' This ain't negotiation it's a bloodbath! But I can tell you this much: To survive a war you gotta become war
