wow again- I had less hostility in the deep south discussing these issues than in lovely progressive Seattle. Wake up people. How hypocritical- your a NIMBY on a global scale. Just because you exclaim you not discriminatory doesn't mean you aren't.…

well explorer please enlighten me, what bigger picture am I missing? What is this mysterious knowledge I am evidently lacking? (and idological is actually spelled ideological) I think ultimately we stand on separate philosophical pastures... it s…

I don't really think I am debating, merely stating an observation from having lived in other states with way more immigration than Seattle & WA, such as Texas, California, & Georgia... and also having lived in regions reliant on immigrant la…

wow- so Seattlites aren't as "enlightened" as one might hope. But just to assuage your fear, people of illegal immigration status aren't locust- it is very unlikely they will leave blighted Sacramento and swarm on the bounty of Seattle raising re…

Yikes! Are you sure it's not a northwest style bordello?

Your inventory number is close, good call. I think it's the "median price" phenom that is throwing a wrench. I suspect this number will continue to go up through summer as lower prices stop selling. I'll wager that as we near mid-fall the inventor…

I'm in Fremont and I can't say I've seen vacant houses. Although places for sale, especially townhomes and condos have been sitting on the market for quite awhile. Some have dropped prices, but they still seem pretty ridiculous (1/2 million for a …

Where do you find your inventory number? Thanks.

Interesting- had no idea. Perhaps this is a naive question, but why would the sale price go up 20K in a foreclosure sale? Nice pdf by the way- thanks.

I like to think that damp, dark winters make spring much more special.

Plus between 30-33% of current listings in my sample from Ballard to Bryant, 65th to top of QA and Magnoila (up to 700K) have been reduced. My goal now is to start tracking amounts of discounts, I'll post this when I get the spread but so far, ro…

5/18/2007: up to 550K- 334 listing/112 reduced 5/21/2007: up to 550K- 334 listing/107 reduced 550-700K- 154 listing/45 reduced

... such as when a prospective buying looks at comparables within the development or neighborhood, prices look higher as they are artificially inflated. Then if the market makes a mini rebound, the developer can stay at the original listing price ra…

It's information monopoly!

oops my mistake at a 550K cap the numbers are: 334 listings/112 reduced price. Still sizable. :oops:

Or she could have refinanced to consolidate a little remodel, vacation, credit card debt. Maybe didn't get the best loan, spends beyond her means and is now feeling the pinch. Question Mike2: Where did you find the financial information on this …

As a person who works for the city (ie public sector), yes pay is usually better than in the private sectors (depending on field). This is true not just in Seattle, but as a rule of thumb nationally. Part of this is due to the various unions. I…

Now these are only my loose observations, but there seems to be a lot of homes back on the market which previously sold in the last 3 years (investors/flippers) especially a good handful which actually had a previous sell last summer/fall. People t…

I'm afraid you officially have a bidding war on your hands.. how can I pass it up, it is custom built after all (that should add another 60K).
