REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY NEWS:
MORE FORECLOSURES IN 2010 MEAN OPPORTUNITIES FOR
BARGAIN HUNTERS...
As housing experts continue to debate when or whether housing
will finally turn around for good in 2010, the one thing most agree
upon is that foreclosures will continue or even outpace last year.
And that will mean more opportunities for bargain hunters.

SOME INTERESTING TIDBITS:
1974: NATION’S LARGEST FEDERAL-SUPPORTED HOUSING
PROJECT OPENS
Starrett City, the nation’s largest federally subsidized housing
project, was dedicated 35 years ago October 1974 in the Canarsie
neighborhood of Brooklyn.
Starrett City was built as part of the middle-class Mitchell-Lama
housing program and received federal, state and local subsidies in
exchange for regulating rents and capping the owner’s annual
return at 6%.
In July of this year, Albany approved a refinancing of the owner’s
$240 million mortgage, which could yield as much as $400 million
or $500 million.

AVENUE
1938: REBNY TIGHTENS APPRAISAL STANDARDS
1922: STATE’S FIRST REAL ESTATE BROKER’S LICENSE LAW
TAKES EFFECT
The first law in New York state requiring a license to practice as a
real estate broker or salesperson went into effect 87 years ago this
month, bringing tighter regulation to an industry with scant oversight.
The law, which took effect Oct. 1, required all individuals and
corporations that buy, sell or lease property for a fee to be licensed.
“Under the present loose system, real estate men complain (that) a
host of so-called real estate brokers have no other office than their
hats,” the New York Times reported the year before the law went into
effect.
The law was supported by the Real Estate Board of New York, the
state Association of Real Estate Boards and other industry groups.
The Law allowed for the revocation of a license if accusations of
misrepresentation, fraud or incompetence were sustained by the
state Tax Commission, which first administered the law. Within a
few years, the Department of State took over management of the law.
The license was good for one year and cost a broker $25 and a
salesperson $5. Today, there are 57,620 licensed brokers and
61,262 licensed salespeople in New York, according to the
Department of State.
1912: ASSEMBLAGE COMPLETE FOR CITY’S LARGEST HOTEL
When the $10million, 2,200-room Hotel Pennsylvania at 401
Seventh Avenue opened in January 1919, it was the largest hotel in
New York City.
FOUR THINGS NOT TO FORGET ON MOVING
DAY:
The excitement of a new home – a new life – a fresh start.
Interview a few moving companies and get quotes from all.
When the dreaded day comes....keep a pad handy and count all the
boxes moving out. Make sure all of your boxes are properly marked
if you are doing the packing or if the movers are doing the packing.
Make sure everything is loaded onto the van.
Before saying goodbye for the last time...do a thorough walk through
of the property. If you are having new owners moving in, make sure
you leave the kitchen clean, clean out the refrigerator, and leave your
home in broom clean condition.
