I went to the rose garden today. It was beautiful. My kids and I had a great time strolling through....then I told them about my grandmother bringing me to the park when I was a kid...the train, the paddle boats...the park is nothing compared to what it use to be. The only reason the garden is so nice is because it doesn't rely on taxes, and is run primarily by volunteers.

ta hell with the rose garden!!! ya don't see folks flocking to buy homes in SCUMnectady because of the rose garden. It's a waste of taxpayer's $$$$!!!

then go home and pay your 'highest in the state' taxes!

Fact is you are using skewed data. You're basing your info off Trulia which includes the Schenectady addresses that are actually in Albany County/ Guilderland, as well as homes in Rotterdam and Niskayuna. They are not just city is schenectady homes.

The FACT is that, while certain people post claims that NO properties are selling in the City of Schenectady, properties in the City of Schenectady have indeed been sold.  These certain folks are what I call "nayboobs" -- constantly complaining and constantly making nasty, often slanderous, always vicious attacks about anyone who dares to disagree with them and their distorted view of the world.

If these folks hate Schenectady so much, they should just leave, and go someplace where they might be happier.  They certainly would make the rest of us happier if they took their anger and negativity someplace else.

I would love to leave Schenectady, but my home has depreciated so much we are more or less trapped---unless we want to take a huge financial hit---a few more years and we may be more willing to do that.

DV, what period of time do YOU claim 566 properties sold?????    In the past 3 years?    Please provide the from and to dates, and please provide your source from OFFICIAL DEED RECORDS filed in the county.


Also, what source says 566 in the CITY??????   Please provide a link to a source that provides your alleged evidence.   And please cite where the source is from official deeds filed from sales within the city.



Now, remember DV, I provide EVIDENCE from OFFICIAL sources, from the ACTUAL DEEDS AND REVENUE STAMPS.   Now from where is YOUR claim of these ALLEGED "FACTS."

And these houses, can you cite any evidence of sale prices in relation to the city's claim of market value?????    Can you?

Can you list typical houses, tell us how many deed stamps, how long it they took to sell, the purchase price?   And I guess you are going to claim that the "FACTS" are that houses are selling for above assessed value too??????  

Provide EVIDENCE or are you too much of a CHICKEN because you can't because you made up a story, you typed a sentence claiming a "FACT" but have NO EVIDENCE to support your statements.









Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent.  
Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and
speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.

I was really sickened seeing what all the homes sold for throughout the county.

A quarter of the sales were likely properties dumped before foreclosure.

Half of the rest are people took far less than the assessed values to flee from this place.

Average homes in Rotterdam are selling for barely over $100,000.

Homes are worth 1990 prices.

But the fact remains that properties DID sell in the city despite the repeated lies and distortions of the nayboobs who claim no one will buy in the city.

The fact also remains that Central Park is a beautiful park that many people enjoy.  

So again -- If you don't like Schenectady, please pack your bags and take your negativity with you when you leave.

Most of the properties that sold in the city were from the upper State St area.

By the looks of things, people are packing their bags and leaving.  I just don't know if they can afford luggage after the bath they took when they sold their homes.  They are most likely packing their things into garbage bags.

Oh, those poor suckers that bought these properties 40-50K below the listed price, they think they got a deal.  They bought a money pit and a lifetime of harassment from the building code enforcers.
