  • Edit -- Didn't know this already was posted on this board, my apologies viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1966
  • I think DOW will definitely break 12,000 tomorrow - remember it never really did test that level after crossing it in 2006. Question is, how low will it go, 11,000? I'm looking at buying, but can't quite tell where bottom will be. I personally th…
  • That commercial is still being aired? I remember it from several months ago, but I didn't think anyone still had the cajones to air it these days........
  • Lots of cheerleading........Go Seattle!! Mostly feel-good content for those who might have recently bought or are unable to sell
  • "Seattle bucks trend" I wonder when the Seattle Times will stop using that phrase, I'm a little tired of hearing it, especially from people who are just repeating what they read in the Sunday paper. So, 8% appreciation YOY is bucking the tren…
  • Glad to see it finally happen, hopefully the drop will continue into the 12,000's - we haven't had a buying opportunity for quite some time, though I won't be running out there to buy right away.......
  • Alcohol, especially the hard liquor producers such as Seagrams, etc. Also, anyone in the foodservice industry as well as railroads (cheaper than trucks) and coal producers.
  • and I thought it was being caused by the "Soft Focused One", taking down your site with her band of flying real estate agents :P
  • Perth, Australia 8)
  • Check out Louisville, KY, must be a typo, but it shows median price down 84.9% after 1 month http://www.housingtracker.net/askingpri ... sonCounty/

  • But not in Seattle :roll:
  • Just give me good 'ol formica any day of the week. My brother-in-law put in granite countertops a few years ago and he started complaining about them recently (I can't remember exactly what the problem was though) With formica you can change the …
  • They are starting to feel the pinch - this should truly be considered a reduction in price, even though it is being disguised as a discount, etc.
  • Lukasz I tried to submit a trip report on your site once about Gothic Basin, but the best I was able to do was to get a picture to post. Is there something I was missing when I tried to submit the trip report? D-Payment
  • I'm guessing Wednesday was peak for S&P for a while, Dow might continue it's aimless climb for a few more days, but can't be for much longer. dare I say, maybe another Black Tuesday this week.............??? :P
  • I hear the jobs growth was attributable almost entirely to a regional effort by McDonalds to retrofit their deep fryers from trans-fat oils to work with non trans-fat oils. I also hear these people will be qualifying for mortgages on $350,000 houses…
  • Looks like rates stayed the same for the time being, with the "hope" they would be lowered in the future, maybe August - **HooRaah!!** , or more accurately, who knows :roll:
  • Has anyone seen those nature programs where the elephants invade the freshwater pond in the desert and find an oaisis, where the elephants who arrive later come to find nothing more that a mud pit? Yeah, same thing here............sounds like Baby B…

  • I think net worth is much less relevant than cash flow these days when it comes to buying - you may have enough to put 20% down on a house, but do you have enough cash flow to make the payments? I wonder how many first-time home buyers find themselv…

  • I think it takes some getting used to, I chat on several forums like this on topics ranging from hiking to car repair and find this to be a versatile format. A feature such as "Latest Posts" or "Last 24 hours of activity" might be helpful, however. …
  • I saw that yesterday and almost moved everything to cash after reading it, but decided to hold out. With Nikkei well above 18000 tonight and my long-term investment philosophy to hang on rather than try and "time the market", I figure I would hang i…
  • I guess somewhere in between is the "SINK" - single income, no kids (granite countertops if you make more than $90K per year)
  • I saw a sign the other day just above 145th in Shoreline, it said: "Now leaving Seattle, END OF LAND" Shortly after I saw huge roadblocks at which point I had to turn around..........
  • I give it ten years, but I think it will dip and then rebound (rather than flat-lining) before going back to 2005 prices, which will hopefully allow our salaries to catch up assuming there is no recession in the next couple years - longer timeframe …

  • Notice this: Title says "New Price" - How many think this will become new "Buy Line" over the next 12 months or so......... http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/rfs/280911269.html
  • Good luck with the CRV, LHR "thumbs_up"
