A report from CNBC on New York. "New York City's pricey real estate has become a 'buyers market,' new data suggests, characterized by lowball offers and a rise in the number of properties staying on the market for longer. The latest figures from Warburg Realty show that among higher-priced homes, New York City is in the throes of a 'major shift' that reflects a cooling market, the likes of which hasn't been seen in almost a decade."

"'Offers 20 percent and 25 percent below asking prices began to flow in, a phenomenon last seen in 2009,' wrote Warburg Realty CEO Frederick W. Peters in the report."

"Warburg's report dovetails with separate data showing a definitive cooling in New York's housing market. The number of homes for sale in the city recently hit a record, according to StreetEasy data, amid fewer sales transactions. Meanwhile, September's report from real estate firm MNS showed Manhattan apartment rental prices — the most expensive in the city — on the decline."

"'While few sellers struck deals at those radically reduced offer prices, they signal a major shift in our marketplace, one which has been building for at least 18 months,' Peters said. In today's market, sellers should not expect multiple offers, he added. 'The majority of deals result from a single offer,' Peters said — nor should they expect things to move quickly. 'The days on market average has soared during 2018.'"

The Daily Mail on Florida. "Notorious gangster Al Capone's Florida mansion has had its price slashed by more than $1million in a bid to find a buyer. Located on a guarded and gated island in Miami, the luxurious waterfront property is where Capone allegedly planned the notorious Saint Valentine's Day Massacre."

"The 30,000sq ft waterfront home hit the market in April for $15 million. But now, it's going for $13.5 million, a $1.5 million decrease from its original asking price."

"Real estate agent Nelson Gonzalez, EWM Realty, who is marketing the property said the sale was 'a rare opportunity to own a piece of American history.' Gonzalez said the home is 'all ready for the right buyer.'"
