UrbanDigs To Shut Down
A: After much thought, it pains me to break the news that I will be shutting down urbandigs.com. It just got way too time consuming and the interference financially wasn't worth the rewards of continuing to build a blog to the quality that I would like to see it. I hope you all enjoyed the posts I wrote and maybe learned something along the way about Manhattan real estate.
I guess you will have to find somewhere else to go for street level real estate tips, inside stories of this shady industry, and my feelings on the economy and how I think it will affect your near term decision making for NYC real estate.
Its been fun! But its time to say GOOD BYE! Effective immediately, this will be my last post on the site. I'm sure most will say 'good riddance' as now there is one less shady broker out there talking crap out his salesman mouth about what he thinks is happening out there. Who the hell would listen to a self-employed broker anyway!
NA NA NA NA....NA NA NA NA...HEY HEY HEY...GOOD BYE!

Noah,
We are going to miss you but I understand. Since you are so busy you don't have time I went ahead and sent a referral to one of your competitors. :)

This is (was) the best blog out there on New York real estate. It has been enormously helpful and I read it daily. Will be really sorry to see you go.

So if this isn't an April Fool's joke,
Is there a way to keep what's already published available? Because I've found your site extremenly helpful and devoid of the riff raf found on other sites. We'll miss you - good luck!

All the best,

I was a bit shock to hear about shutting down the site. Glad to hear that this is just an April fool joke. I just found urbandigs site a couple months ago and found the site is very educational.
This is one of the best site about real estate...Thanks so much for keeping up the site.

That's so funny. I just read this, a couple days late, and I was so confused, shocked, and well, i really just couldn't believe it. I love this site and find it immensely informative and educational.
I'm glad it was just an April Fool's joke!
