Too bad they can't get any of that money back that was spent on all of those upgrades. This is an area that confuses me sometimes. Sure, I know that sometimes you need to renovate to actually sell a house, because it's a total pit, or well b…

"Today I had a conversation with an 86 year old lady that worked at the King County Assessors Office in Seattle for more than three decades." I don't know the situation here, but I do have to wonder why this person didn't buy any real estate in t…

I also recommend renting for a year (or two) in order to find the neighborhood that you like. Even the optimistic realtors find it hard to say that prices are going to go up, and even if they only stagnate (unlikely) you'll still come out ahead. …

The author of the site referred to it, in an NPR interview, as "stuff NPR listeners like". The whole anti-Eastside thing is annoying. I just moved (back) to the Eastside after living in a number of different locations in King County, in Seat…
