Got Finance?

edited August 2007 in Seattle Real Estate
Tomorrow I start a new job only minutes from my condo downtown Seattle. With grad school starting back up (taking more classes) and my new work schedule I wont be able to respond as frequently to posts on this site.

BUT, next time you think that "finance" should be responding, its not that I dont want to, yet more of I am busier and have less time to. However, I wont just drop off the map like Meshugy...I will still be around, but probably not quite as much.

My views on the market have not changed since I started blogging here last Novemberish...The Seattle market will soften, and has, yet wont be as bad as most of the country...it will be just kinda sucky, not totally sucky, lol.

    Market turns south and suddenly all the trolls go back under their bridge. Only in Seattle does this seem appropriate.

    Koolaid - First of all Im not a troll, as Tim has defined it since I have been around for more than a few days. Second, my views have not changed and have been saying that the markets will soften and will slow, yet not be nearly as pessimistic as most of you here. I will still be around, just not quite as much. Oh, BTW, I have noticed that the overall traffic on this site has dropped by about 50% over the past few months...so Im not the only one, lol.

    I have wondered about this myself... When the bubble in Seattle pops, will there be no more need for SeattleBubble?

    If you don't believe prices will drop 80%, you're a troll! ;)

    You must be a housing bull! By 2010, prices will have dropped at least 99.999%. House keys will be included as prizes in Crackerjack boxes. "Own to rent" programs will provide condos for free to anyone willing to pay $2500/mo in HOA fees and insurance. The last remaining realtor will commit suicide after learning the commissions on the entire nation's housing transactions will not pay for a latte at Starbucks. Etc.

    OMG! I write a post about trolls and Seattle, and suddenly everyone feels like I'm accusing them of being trolls.

    Actually finance, I don't quite consider you a troll. It's just the real trolls rarely write emails telling everyone they aren't coming back, and I thought that would be a funny post. You do loosely remind me of trolls though. Here's a sample dialog one might see on this forum

    Person #1: I'm a little worried.
    Person #2: Let me reassure you.
    Finance: Did I mention how wonderful and successful I am?
    Person #1: What if I'm priced out forever?
    Finance: I am so awesome my condo keeps going up in value.
    Person #3: Did you see Cramer last night?
    Finance: I got a raise!
    Person #2: It looks like the market is becoming volatile.
    Finance: I'm FINANCE!!!

    Oh I know! Geez, who really gives an RA, finance? I don't even know why I'm posting. I can't believe you even started your OWN thread to bid yourself your OWN farewell.

    Also, I predict that when meshugy returns, his status report will say "I've been so busy! Business has quintupled!" Sure: flipping the same guitar to the same person five times.

    :lol: :twisted: :lol: :twisted:

    Yeah, I am sort of missing the whole point of this thread too. Don't worry finance, if you don't post here anymore, I am pretty sure we can continue on.

    Honestly, I did it more as a joke, lol.

    The overall volume on this blog has declined significantly. You would think as the Seattle market slows the volume would pick up...
