06 luglio Manhattan home prices plungeHuge downturn for co-op and condo owners in pricey housing market. Number of sales ticks up as buyers with money take an opportunity. The housing bust has finally clobbered super-pricey Manhattan home prices. Reports released Thursday by four major New York brokers show that prices cratered during the three months that ended June 30. Prices fell between 13% and 19% compared with the same quarter last year. The brokers found median prices that ranged from $795,000 to $849,000. The decline shows a marked turn from the first quarter of 2009, when the year-over-year change in median home prices ranged from a loss of 2% to a gain of 6%. Another change in the recent period: More people are buying. The number of sales picked up by more than 28% in the second quarter, according to Prudential Douglas Elliman. Driving the increase were sales of studio apartments and one-bedrooms, both of which gained market share, according to Jonathan Miller, president of appraisal company, Miller Samuel, which compiles data for Prudential Douglas Elliman. "It's value-based shopping," said Pam Liebman, chief executive of the brokerage Corcoran Group. "People are coming back into the market, but nobody is going to overpay." Of course, in Manhattan "value" means studio prices that go for a median of $400,000 and one-bedrooms that fetch $650,000. Long rebound Despite the bleak report, the ingredients for a recovery are already in place, according to Greg Heym, chief economist for both Halstead Property and Brown Harris Stevens. But it will be very slow coming. "There are still risks to the economy, both national and local," Greg Heym said. "But job losses have slowed, consumer confidence is higher and the stock market returned more than 30% during the quarter." Furthermore, the impact of the Wall Street meltdown on the New York economy has been less catastrophic than first predicted. The city has held up well, according to Heym, and now the financial system has started stabilizing. Heym also pointed out that the foreclosure plague, so damaging to many markets, has never been a major problem in Manhattan. Co-ops have, if anything, stricter financial requirements than the lenders, requiring buyers to show their assets and come up with 20% down. That has meant that few co-op owners are in trouble with their mortgages. And now, the national housing market may be improving with sales at steady, albeit, lower volumes and home price declines flattening out. Those are all positive signs for Manhattan. The housing market may may be at or near the bottom of the cycle, according to Heym. "But people shouldn't think that a bottoming out means a quick rebound," he said. The high-low How quick any recovery will be depends a lot on the availability of jumbo mortgages, those exceeding $729,750. The difficulty in obtaining such loans has hurt sales in Manhattan. It has caused the strength of the market to switch from the sales of big, expensive homes to sales of smaller, cheaper ones. "The entry level market did not fall as far as the high end," Miller said. "The difference was a jumbo versus a conforming mortgage." Conforming loans, the ones bought or backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are still available at very favorable rates. But jumbos, which exceed the loan limits imposed by Fannie and Freddie, have not been. Manhattan buyers are heavily reliant on jumbo loans because many homes are priced at well over the conforming loan limit. And it ain't easy getting such mortgages right now. "Most banks are requiring jumbo borrowers to put at least 30% to 40% down -- some need 50%," said Miller. "Someone buying, say, a $4 million home, even with perfect credit and a raise this year, might not have the $1.2 million to $2 million to put down." But there are a couple of positive factors prompting many entry-level buyers to get into the market, according to Bill Staniford, CEO of PropertyShark.com, which compiled Corcoran's statistics. One is the first time homebuyers tax credit, the federal tax refund program available to anyone who hasn't owned a home during the past three years. "People say that's making a difference," said Staniford. "And if interest rates continue to climb, that will introduce some urgency." Once the economy recovers, the prospects for the Manhattan housing market are good. The market could quickly tighten again. There's little new building going on. As a matter of fact, not a single building permit was filed in all of February, according to Heym. Plus, glamorous Manhattan is still drawing residents from all over. The population of New York, unlike many other old U.S. cities, is still growing. NY to launch mortgage probeSupreme Court says attorney general can investigate whether minorities had tougher time securing loans. The Supreme Court ruled Monday that the New York attorney general's office can investigate whether national banks discriminated against minorities seeking mortgages. The justices overturned part of a ruling by a U.S. appeals court that entirely blocked the state office from investigating or enforcing the fair lending laws against national banks because they are subject instead to federal regulation. In the court's main split opinion, Justice Antonin Scalia concluded the state attorney general cannot issue subpoenas, but can bring judicial enforcement actions. In 2005, Eliot Spitzer, then the state attorney general, began investigating possible racial discrimination in mortgage lending. He sent letters of inquiry to mortgage lenders, including banks such as Wells Fargo, HSBC, JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup. The probe was prompted by data that Spitzer said appeared to show a significantly higher percentage of high-interest home mortgage loans issued to black and Hispanic borrowers than to white borrowers. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, a federal agency that oversees nationally chartered banks, sued to enjoin the probe on the grounds it fell outside state jurisdiction. A consortium of national banks also sued. A federal judge and then the New York-based appeals court ruled against the state office. Andrew Cuomo, the current New York attorney general, appealed to the Supreme Court and argued the probe should be allowed to go forward. His appeal drew support from all the other states, which said the current economic crisis, due in large part to reckless subprime mortgage lending, has shown the need for more regulatory oversight and consumer protection. Groups representing real estate agents, state banking officials and consumer rights and civil rights organizations also supported the appeal. The federal government opposed the appeal. It said federal regulators have vigorously enforced the fair lending laws against national banks. Writing the court's majority opinion, Scalia said the comptroller's regulation purporting to pre-empt state law enforcement is not a reasonable interpretation of the National Bank Act. The Supreme Court last addressed a similar issue in 2007, when it ruled that states cannot regulate the mortgage-lending subsidiaries of banks regulated by the comptroller's office, which is part of the U.S. Treasury Department. 09 giugno 人生五个层次的需求 马斯洛的需求层次理论是研究组织激励时应用得最广泛的理论。亚伯拉罕.H.马斯洛(Abraham.h.maslow)提出,人有一系列复杂的需要,按其优先次序可以排成梯式的层次,其中包括四点基本假设: 01 giugno UGG品牌介绍Ugg,cgm ,jumbugg 这三个带有传奇色彩的品牌,第一眼看到她的人都会被这个奇丑而又笨重的外形所不能理解,而就是这样一款靴子风靡了欧亚大地,如今又在全世界都刮起了一阵流行风,这阵风的主流就是欧美的明星们所带来的的。 关于澳大利亚Ugg羊皮靴的历史要追溯到1978年了,一个叫做Brian Smith的澳大利亚年轻冲浪员有一次带了一批羊皮靴到美国。在过去很多年来,澳大利亚的工匠们一直习惯都在新西兰海边缝制羊皮靴,然而,是这个具有生意头脑的年轻人大胆的尝试将这种澳大利亚传统制品带到美国。 那时候,他只带了很少的几双Ugg羊皮靴,怀着满腔的热血和自信,开始在纽约街头叫卖。然而,一开始他并没有这么好运,一天下来,没有卖出一双靴子。不过,他并没有灰心,甚至有些固执的认为一定可以成功。他坚信,在美国市场一定会有一片属于他的靴子的天地。 于是,他决定前往西部,到加利福尼亚去找找机会。当他到达目的地时,发现在那里已经有一部分像他这样的人,带着类似的羊皮靴在海边销售了。在这里他头一轮生意就向5个顾客卖出了48双靴子。当然了,可以说是加利福尼亚发达的冲浪运动市场吸引住了这些来自澳大利亚的精品羊皮靴。澳大利亚Ugg羊皮靴开始成为了每一个冲浪者上岸后的必备品。 从此以后,澳大利亚Ugg开始慢慢从一个小小的冲浪用品品牌发展成为全球知名的羊皮靴豪华品牌。而产品线也开始不仅仅限于羊皮靴,慢慢增加了采用精品羊皮制成的休闲鞋、拖鞋、以及各种季节的鞋。用澳大利亚Ugg总裁的话讲:“澳大利亚Ugg是不错的选择。一旦你穿上它,你就舍不得脱下了。它的独创性、可信度以及超级豪华的舒适感都会让你着迷。” 官方网站:http://www.uggaustralia.com/ 怎么样去辨别ugg雪地靴: 1.从价格上来说。由于ugg的原材料很贵,是澳洲产的整张小羊皮制作成的,皮毛一体,鞋底也有特殊的构造,即使是由ugg生产工厂的出厂价也不会是一二百,这一点请各位mm一定要记得,那些“令你心动的价格”买回来的ugg绝对是假货。 2.从颜色上来说。正品的ugg, 颜色很正,ugg官方网站上的颜色为准。并且内部毛毛的颜色和外面的颜色是一样的。 3.从鞋型上来说。表面的触感也相当细腻柔软,鞋型也比较秀气精细。里面的的剪绒很整齐,密度长短均匀,手感非常柔软舒适,光脚穿非常舒服。重要的是穿上后会感觉轻便,没有负重感。相当暖和。 4.从鞋子构造来说。 1.靴内还缝有洗水标(上面款式、名称、编号、材质、码数、产地等) 2.盒子侧面贴有码标(上面注有款式名称、编号、颜色、码数、男 装or女装) 3.成双鞋的相同部位要一致,色泽花纹要一致,鞋头长短、后帮高低要一致。 4.鞋面针车线基本一致,无跳针、漏针、断线。 5.鞋内外整洁、平顺、无收缩变形。 6.UGG鞋底上有‘R’的注册标识并且肯定有ugg的烙印。 7.ugg传统鞋型的商标在后脚跟处(ugg商标) 拖鞋,家居鞋的商标是机器加印在鞋皮上的 。 8.所有ugg的产品都是手工作品 20 maggio 随笔 两个人相爱,不一定会有结果;两个人的友情,也不一定能够长久;两个人的世界.不一定精彩。世界就是这样,充满无奈和精彩。可是我们依然相信每一个明天都会是美好的,毕竟不开心和开心的都会成为过去,所以我们还会努力地不断追求着每一个新的目标,努力过好我们的每一天。 16 maggio 09年经典语录1 :我的优点是:我很帅;但是我的缺点是:我帅的不明显. 26 aprile FW:彻底清除黑头的8种方法但凡脸部油腻的mm,很少有不受黑头骚扰的。从镜子里看过去,自己的鼻子毛孔粗大,黑头像草莓一样。可是鼻部的皮肤却又细嫩,稍微一碰就容易细菌感染,变成红鼻子,让人觉得烦恼又暴躁。无论如何,和黑头必有一战!黑头是硬化油脂阻塞物,通常出现在颜面的额头、鼻子等部位,当油脂腺受到过分刺激,毛孔充满多余的油脂而造成阻塞时,在鼻头及其周围部分,经常会有油腻的感觉。这些油脂最终会硬化,经氧化后成为黑色的小点,这些小点就是被称作黑头的油脂阻塞物。 方法1:盐加牛奶 每次用4-5滴牛奶兑盐,在盐半溶解状态下开始用来按摩;半分钟后用清水洗去。 提示: 因为盐还未完全溶解,按摩时也要轻柔。为了让皮肤重新分泌干净的油脂保护,所以洗完之后不要再擦任何东西在洗过的皮肤上。 方法2:珍珠粉 珍珠粉可以在药店选购;取适量质量上乘的内服珍珠粉,用适量清水调成膏状,均匀地涂在脸上;用脸部按摩的手法在脸上按摩,直到脸上的珍珠粉变干,再用清水将脸洗净即可。 方法3:蛋清 打开一个蛋,将蛋白与蛋黄分开,留蛋白部分待用;将厚厚的化妆棉撕开成为较薄的薄片,将撕薄后的化妆棉浸入蛋白,稍微沥干后贴在鼻头上;静待十至十五分钟,待化妆棉干透后小心撕下。 方法4:鸡蛋壳内膜 将鸡蛋壳内层的那层膜,小心撕下;贴在鼻子上,等干后撕下来。 提示:这是很多人都说好的方法! 方法5:盐 将脸洗净,趁皮肤没有干透,用适量食盐涂在鼻子上打圈按摩;十分钟后,用清水洗干净。 提示:脸部有伤口的皮肤不适用,敏感肤质者不适用。 方法6:米饭 捏一小团米饭在鼻子上揉,饭团的粘力会把鼻子上的脏东西带下来;十分钟之后用清水洗净。 方法7:橄榄油 清洁面部之后,用橄榄油按摩鼻子上面的黑头;按摩结束之后,需要再次清洁皮肤,最好用收敛水。 提示: 油脂的溶解不是瞬间的事情,建议可以一边看电视一边做这个按摩。按摩时间在半小时到一小时。 方法8:黑头导出液 用黑头导出液打湿化妆棉,贴在鼻子上贴3-5分钟;再用棉花棒把面膜涂在鼻子上,15分钟后,撕掉面膜;再用爽肤水打湿化妆棉,贴在鼻子上,缩小毛孔。 |
