You may recall a few weeks back when I highlighted a sad example of bubble mania here in Seattle. Thanks to locally-based MSN Money columnist Bill Fleckenstein, that little stunt is getting even more attention.
There was another sign of the times in “Bidders win unseen lands, discover they bought trouble,” a story in the Aug. 17 edition of my Seattle Times.
…
Joe Public is buying land sight-unseen without doing any due diligence. If that isn’t a top, I don’t know what one would look like.
I agree with you 100% Mr. Fleckenstein. I just don’t know how long the top will last.
