*MP3: Condo Fucks - "What Cha Gonna Do About It" Call it clever, call it a stunt, call it what you will, but it is Yo La Tengo after all. Here is the first single from the Condo Fucks (Yo La Tengo) EP that just dropped on Matador yesterday, which will be out on March 24. It's super raw, super hilari...

Lots of talk about Bishop Allen, Cursive, The Number Twelve Looks Like You and the new Punk Goes Pop collection. Hate to say it, but I’m not really looking forward to any of them much. A few that might get overlooked: Mirah’s new release is awesome. Portland’s repping pretty strong...

Please make it clear to me just how essential property managers are. I'm moving out of town, and I've rented out my condo to tenants. Because I won't be able to manage the property in person, so I found a property management company that can do it for me for a monthly fee. Most people I talk to seem...

(We checke...

This will be our final spring in our house on Belgravia Court.   In a few weeks, we will put our house on  the market and move on to another setting. At this time we have no idea where that will be but that’s okay. David and I are sure everything will fall into place when the time come...

The brownstone at 417 Park Place in Prospect Heights has been converted recently into condos; the three units hit the market earlier this month. Other than preserving the original shutters, it's hard to see much to recommend this place. Then again, there could be some nice aspects to it, but the web...

It seems that the price cutting situation at Northside Piers in Williamsburg is more widespread than we or Curbed thought. A tipster points out that some of the higher-priced units actually got huge price cuts but didn't show up on StreetEasy with a down-arrow next to them. To wit: Penthouse 2 was m...

This may be looked back on as the moment sellers came to grips with the market reality: Yesterday Toll Brothers whacked prices on 36 units at the Northside Piers, its luxury waterfront project in Williamsburg. While these are hardly the first en masse price reductions we've seen, they may be the fir...
