This mayor is getting worse by the day.  

Check out today's gazette (excerpts)


Quoted Text
SCHENECTADY  

  A lift for listings  

  City’s marketing effort appears to be paying dividends  

  BY HALEY VICCARO Gazette Reporter  

  
      Local real estate agents say Schenectady’s home ownership program is helping them to sell homes in the city, and statistics show it appears to be working.  
  
...

   The number of homes sold in the city has increased slightly since 2011, around the time the program was first getting started.     That year, 271 homes were sold. In 2014, 292 homes were sold, according to statistics by the Greater Capital Association of Realtors.





But here is the truth:

But look, below, at the REAL numbers report by the Greater Capital Assoc of Realtors as opposed to the numbers that the mayor and one or more of his cronies reported.   The info in the box outlined in green is my summarizing the numbers from the realtors' numbers.  Just pay attention to the "year to date" numbers.  I didn't have the report pages for 2011 or 2013 but still the realtors group posts the "year to date" numbers for each of the four years that the mayor and his cronies use:

The fairy tale gets worse.  



Quoted Text
...

The city does not keep a record of the private properties sold through the HOMES program, but Mayor Gary McCarthy said he believes nearly 100 percent of them have sold.  

   “It’s hard to track the specific houses that end up on that open house list compared to the overall market,” McCarthy said. “Almost every house that has been on the HOMES list has been sold.

...




It's "hard to track."   Gee, this mayor really has a bunch of fruitcake losers working for him, both city hall staff and his real estate cronies.  It's "hard to track"        Give me a day or so and I'll have the information along with the EVDIENCE that his HOMES program is a FAILURE because NO WHERE NEAR "almost" all homes have sold!              Stay tuned for the truth

Another LIE from this mayor !!!!!!



Quoted Text
...
McCarthy said the burden of high taxes is an issue across upstate New York that’s not unique to Schenectady.
...




First of all, high taxes are an issue in ALL of New York State (compared to other states).   However, the FACT is that taxes in Schenectady are higher than anywhere, you can buy a similar house outside of Schenectady, in any of the surrounding cities or towns, the taxes will be SUBSTANTIALLY lower AND the value of the home outside of Schenectady will be increasing while the value of homes in the city are decreasing--decreasing to the point that people are underwater on their mortgages!

Lies from the mayor's cronies:


Quoted Text
...

But the city’s high taxes make it difficult to sell some homes in the city, like 1700 Guilderland Ave. The owner plans to contribute $3,000 in taxes for the first year, out of an estimated $6,954 in taxes.  

   Benjamin Brizzell, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway, said the house has been on the market since last year.     The three-bedroom, two-anda-half-bath home is being offered at $89,500.


...




ROFL       



The house at 1700 Guilderland Ave has been for sale for way over one year, it has been for sale for 2 1/2 years!!!!   it has been for sale since Sept 22, 2012 when it was listed under MLS # 201221697.

In fact, this house at 1700 Guilderland Ave was listed in the mayor's taxpayer funded gala bus tour in January of 2013!!!!   And multiple times after that!

Now check these FACTS about 1700 Guilderland Ave:


Assessed for $143,600

Listed for sale 9/11/12 asking $149,900

Several price reductions, no willing buyers

No willing buyers and so in September 2013 the asking price was reduced to $119,000

No willing buyers and so in November 2013 the asking price was reduced to $114,000

No willing buyers and so in January 2014 the asking price was reduced to $99,900

No willing buyers and so in May 2014 the owner goes in front of the mayor's tax deadbeat Mary on the Board of Assessment who along with the rest of the mayor's cronies, reduces the assessment to only $123,000, still WELL ABOVE the price that NO ONE is willing to pay.

No willing buyers and so in October 2014 the asking price was reduced to $89,500

And here it is now a whopping four months later and STILL NO WILLING BUYERS!!!!


Note that it is the mayor's city favored political crony real estate firm, Prudential, that is listing this house, the employer of tax deadbeat Mary D who renders decision on the assessment value of this house!    

No problem?   Cronyism at it's best.   "Working together works" ????????    Still looking for ANYONE to provide a list of how things are working for the good in the city, other than the good for the millionaires downtown and all the political cronies of the city/co/plex dems

No one is speechless. Everyone just thinks you are nuts and are bored by your sniveling and ranting.

I don't live in the city of Schenectaday....never did....never would....if I did i'd move the hell out!
nor do I applaud anyone buying ANYTHING in the city of Schenectady. (stupid is as stupid does)
I don't EVER go into the city of Schenectady unless I have to for business or medical reasons. (ellis hosp)
between the poorly kept roads, traffic and crime....it's a white knuckle ride.
Nor do I subscribe or read the piece of rag...the gazetto.

so in all reality.....I don't give a crap!

So in other words, you posted just because???  Got it...

I don't live in the city, but I do live in Rotterdam...it's guilt by association.
I bought my house in 1991 for $96,000, and based on what I have seen comparable houses LISTED for ..not sold for... I will LUCKY be not to take a loss figuring in agent commissions when I (IF) I sell in a few years.. It's a sad commentary on how deep Schenectady has sunken into the cesspool and how the neighboring towns are paying the price.

that is true right now...

While i am not favoring any side of the argument, if you have seen the inside of that home (1700 Guilderland)you would understand that it is not even worth $60,000.  FACT  ;

Wow, assessed for $143,000 and only worth $60,000 that's a pretty big difference. Maybe it's time for another assessment for everyone.
