I can’t say I’ve ever blogged in front of a television camera before but it’s kind of cool (although my until-now -secret two-fingered typing method is being exposed). Just in case there are any real estate agents in town still willing to speak to me, today’s interview should end that relationship – I’ve spilled the beans – real estate in town isn’t selling the way it used to.
The cameraman (a former Byram boy, by the way) has now moved behind me, lighting up the keyboard and my (two) fingers are just flying. So much fun.
Will any of this make it to TV? Who the heck knows? If not, perhaps NPR will pick up the story. Okay, that’s it for stream of consciousness posting. Light’s are going out as I write this and the crew is off.
Update: 5:30 tonight!

A Star is born-is this on camera?
You do not need the publicity. The Noel’s are hogging the light!

The 133 Parsonage Rd house is still available for $5.7 million-a bargain.
This desperate plastic surgeon may even through in a nose job or breast implant (one only-you pay for the other)!

Nobody watches TV anymore since they are reading Chris Fountain blogs.

You better not mention me or you’ll have no fingers to type with.

Looking at your pic bro,
you have a face for radio.
Chris rips into houses,
like Monica buys blouses.
In the end, it’s always a great read,
like the fabulous 5 Noel daughters like to breed.
Keep up the good work,
cause it’s time for Walt’s nanny to feed him dessert.

Maybe the real estate market is bottoming? When they celebrate the bears in stocks and on CNBC run segments showing people how to short stocks… it’s usually a sign of a bottom. So putting Chris on TV might be a sign of a bottom. I am calling my broker and putting in bids now!

Ordinarily I’d agree with you but look at the staistics I just posted. A tad discouraging.

After my trial in NYC in June begins for trying to buy Socor Oil off a foreign leader in Azerbujian for $8 million, I may very well list my place with you.
It even has a Robert AM Stern designed poolhouse. It was in Architectural Digest, really, it was.

I agree, no one watches tv anymore.

Can you look at this prop Chris and comment?. The MLS listings in this town are “dogmeat stocks” unless you start paying $1.7 mill.

Thanks for shining a light on Lou Cara-”smella” at 96 Orchard St. People around here in Cos Cob say he just wants to buy his neighbor out at 98 Orchard and has unfairly raised her assessment.

Sounds bogus to me, but I’ll admit that I wasn’t pleased myself when, after a reassessment some years ago, then BET head (?) Sam Stowell’s Indian head Road property ended up with an assessment far lower than my own. Conspiracy theories come easy when one’s wallet is affected.

I walked by Lou’s house every day on the way to Central, in the early sixties. And I’m sure he was settled in there long before that. So fifty years later he’s schemin’ for his neighbor’s house?
WTF are you people smoking?
February 16, 2009 at 2:14 pm
Oh, he’s a patient one, that Lou! The fact that he waited fifty years just proves his evil methods!

hey Lou fan- property was cheap then-now land is gold-developers love lots of land-Carasmella just wants to cash in too-buy it while its hot. MERGE LOU’S 1.2 ACRE WITH 98 ORCHARD ST 0.6 ACRE.
Sit around the rumor mill and you will learn a lot about your “nice” neighbors. No one is smokin here.
Hey, why pay forty years of property tax when you can scoop up opportunity in our depression? Lou was a big boy even during the Depression and recalls that era too.
Just bizness-nothin personal. Good opportunity there on Orchard St-seize the moment before Lou does!
Didn’t Lou also invest in that local Greenwich Bank that ain’t doin too well now?
