Those crazy real estate professionals

I'm afraid that one of these days even he will join the wave of real-estate types who have immigrated to these shores so that these boards too will become a forum for his special combination of snideness, condescension, and faith-based economics.

You just kill me, Civil Servant.
I think we've already made our quota here this month on snideness, condescension, and faith based economics.

Hilarious. The comment left on is 100x more useful than the post itself.

Of course, the post was written by a real estate professional, while the comment was just some dirty anonymous nobody, so obviously the comment has no value.

I have seen that guy budhabrad post over there quite a bit. IIRC, he seems to get under HWSNBN*'s skin a fair bit. But then, who doesn't?

budhabrad does post over there often and makes great discussion points.

The person is a little off on the foreclosure thing, but from a personal perspective it is a great read.

Tim, you could add a pin to the Stalled Development Map at 156th Ave SE and SE 11th St in Bellevue. 3 houses under construction for at least 1.5 years. Noticed some workers out there recently, after months of no activity. Guess they're in no hurry due to rising prices.

I was thinking about those same 3 houses, but I hadn't been by there in a while and so I wasn't sure if they had been completed yet or not. (Kind of a strange choice of thread to post in.)

I saw that. then I headed over to SREP and realized that aside from you (The Tim), the only commenters at SREP any more are the bloggers themselves. I have another idea for the PI to save money...

And I leave comments very rarely. Pretty much only drop in when they get a basic point of fact incorrect (e.g. - Debra Sinick's claim that Vashon Island is not in King County). I did comment for fun on Kary's latest post, but only because participates here so much and has been friendly and informative.

Other than that I have granted them their wish, that the non-professionals not interfere in their private booster club.

Wasn't quite sure where to post this since it doesn't really deserve it's own thread but everyone's favorite crazy real estate professional (well, at least in the top 10) sold her house last month.

I wasn't watching close enough to see it put back on the market (maybe it wasn't), but the recorded sale price is far below what I remember her listing it at, and 300k below the previous sale.

I wonder if there will be a conclusion post on Raincity to wrap up the details.
Hard to believe it's been two years.
