Wikipedia records that in recent years, the residential condominium industry has been booming in all of the major metropolitan areas such as Miami, Seattle, Boston, and New York. It is now in a slowdown phase. According to Richard Swerdlow, CEO of Condo.com, “You’re not going to see this giant overbuild again. It’s hard to imagine that you’d see in the next decade what we just saw. Real estate brokers and the developers were in almost a ticket-collecting mode. They were processing orders because there was so much business to go around. Now that sort of investor phenomenon has gone away.” He added, “That phenomenon has stopped.”
