The two-day cold front left us today here in NYC. It's 45 degrees, jumping from 15 degrees (or minus 5 with wind chill) in one day. I have no complaints about the return of springtime temperature, but the body does need to adapt very quickly. Anyway, today I am sharing some data analysis published on Trulia.com about the home prices in the Queens County, including my favorite city of Flushing. Often times, my buyers and friends asked me about the toughness of the real estate market. Have you seen price coming down? Obviously, the media of every type has done a great job in publicizing the bad news of the economy and the housing market with prominent headlines:"Foreclosures Expected to be up 100%!""Housing Slump Causes Economic Recession""XXX Housing Market down by 35%"I don't deny that ... 02/13/2008

The Chinese New Year parade took place today on Main Street, Flushing, NY, from 11am. It was drizzling but the rain didn't discourage the spectators. I was there a little late and didn't catch the first part of the parade, which featured the Chinese sponsors.  These pictures were taken when the Korean floats were passing by.   I really like Flushing as it is truly a multi-cultural community. Of course, being a Chinese myself, I enjoy the variety of Chinese cuisines there. If you didn't make it, I have some pictures to share. 02/09/2008

Here is a summary of how my weekend went. While I was doing an open house on Sunday a woman walk into the home, alone.  She walked through the house fast and quite abruptly.  When she left, I don't even think I got an acknowledgment - it was kind of like I pissed her off because I took her out of her car dragged her into the home and made her look at the home.   When she showed up again with 7 people in tow, I have to say, I was quite surprised.  I thought they were either here to beat me for dragging her into the home and forcing her to look or they were here to check it out and maybe make an offer.  Well I was right - (thankfully on the offer).  What was odd was how they presented the offer to me.  I almost felt like I was working a drive through McDonald's window.  They barked their ... 06/25/2007
