They did go down a little, Ira, around 400 a year. It was weird to see the county assessment go up 100K in 2008 and then come down by almost the same amount in 2009. Something tells me they'll be up again next year. My wife and I are considerin…

Appraised. I'm currently refinancing.

I got a new Samsung 52" LCD TV over the holidays and the HD programming coming from Comcast, especially sports, has significant macroblocking. I've already had Comcast out to take a look at my signal and they say it's as good as it can get. I haven'…

They lost me at the second bullet point: "Hopes to get aid from U.S. Treasury" That's part of their restructuring plan. :x

I guess I just wanted to find out if what most people's savings rates were and if they're actually increasing the amount that they sock away each check since everything is collapsing around us.

It adds up because I have a good income and bought a house that was reasonably priced in the earlier part of this decade. I also don't have daycare costs since my wife is a stay at home mom and we also have family close by that loves to give her a …

That excludes and we don't eat top ramen, but at the same time I didn't jump on the HELOC / extravagance bandwagon when it was fashionable. HELOCs are so 2005 and faux riche, don't you think? :P That being said, I know people that make a third …

How about snapping some photos of this one, Tim? It's in our neck of the woods, south of Wayne golf course. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/b ... ner09.html

I think you guys are worrying too much. I glanced at the Times this morning and saw a headline that asked the question: "Is the recession coming to an end?" so I guess we're already at the bottom. Personally, I think we haven't even begun to …

Sooooo..... BAC and Citi need billions more in capital and......BAC is up 11%?

Maybe the southeast and Texas is a popular place simply because of the fact that home prices didn't nearly increase on the level of the rest of the country. Well.....except for South Florida.

Maybe a husband / wife that share an account or stay logged on all the time with one computer? Then again, I find it doubtful that the husband and wife have opinions that differ THAT much.

People didn't use their homes as ATMs? Wow, just......wow! April 28, 2009 at 12:19 PM Rating: (1) (0) I am a real estate professional and bought a house for 700K that is now only worth around 400K (and falling). I purchased with an ARM that wi…

Whew, glad to see this bear market is over with. Now, let's run this puppy back up to 15000 by the end of the month! Yes, I'm being sarcastic.

Does anyone have the link to the application for the 1K per year bonus if I made my payments on time? I mean, I've been paying on time for the past 7 years, so I need to get my 7K.

In other words, sniglet has made A LOT of money over the past few months. Oh, I miss the days of shorting WM...... sigh.....

It just seems like the gov is rewarding the bad behavior that got them in the situation they're in now. The gov. now teaches me that no matter what I do financially, they will be there to bail me out. Maybe I should just get out there and spend aw…

Did anyone notice that the words "realtor" or "appraisal" were not uttered once in this program?

I understand what you're saying, Charles, but I suppose my definition of ownership means that I don't have any more payments to a third party. Most people throw around the terms "my house", "my car", but until you have the title with no leinholder …

What bothers me is the constant use of the possessive pronoun OUR. They are taking OUR home. This is OUR home. Um, isn't it actually THE BANK's home?!?

8 minute video (trailer) about the show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11li6Iw4TeY

I saw the first 20 minutes and most of the last hour. Fortunately, I dvr'ed it, so I'll be able to catch the whole thing this weekend. It was very good, however, it seemed like they didn't talk much about real estate professional's role in this, b…

My 2009 taxes just posted to KingCo's website with an increase of $525, 14% over last year. Here's hoping it will drop by that same amount next year, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see the same increase. 2009 Tax Information Tax: $ 3,…
